Usually it refers to post-divorce judgment modifications of custody and visitation or support (child or spousal). The ad should be more clear so he/she may not be the right lawyer for you.
Thats what they specialize in. You wouldn’t want a tax attorney to represent you in a murder case.
modification is to get the court to change or modify an exisiting order, like adding a name change to a divorce after u have been to court.
They are probably referring to motions for modification of child support or alimony.
