Modification of the Divorce Decree or Order

The divorce decree is often referred to as the "final order" or "final decree" in divorce, but many aspects of your divorce decree are subject to change under certain circumstances. Some issues in a divorce case continue to be litigated long after the final order is entered.

Most divorce decree modifications relate to children who are still minors after the divorce. Depending on the circumstances, a person can petition to modify child support, child custody and child visitation orders. Some states allow for divorce decree modification if the divorce court finds out there were hidden assets, concealed information or fraud.
