Fort Lauderdale, FL asked in Family Law for Florida

Q: Can my marriage negatively affect current court orders?

I recently got married for the first time. However, I have a child with my ex. We went to court in 2018 and he gave me sole and legal custody. He Went back shortly after but he was denied his motion to vacate and set aside parenting plan. However, now there’s been a notice of appearance filed so I know a modification is probably underway. My question is, will a modification be granted? Although I recognize a marriage can be a “substantial change to circumstance” it has not negatively affected my child, in fact on the contrary, My daughter and husband have a great relationship, my child has principal’s honor roll, she is in a stable & loving home and is thriving.

Thank you in advance!
