The amendments are much simpler than the remedies because they should not include a challenge to the Court`s decision. It is more an acknowledgement that the circumstances of your life have changed than trying to argue that the original judgment was inappropriate. You can file an amendment by contacting the court you originally completed your divorce.

A divorce decree may be amended if the terms of the divorce are unfair or if the conditions have changed since the divorce. Once the divorce is over and the time of the appeal has expired (which is usually within 30 days of the order- decree), you cannot change the division of ownership and liability. The court does not have the power to reconsider ownership issues after the date of the appeal. Changes are generally in the area of custody or access, and property issues can only be addressed in extreme circumstances. Any change in circumstances, financial or other than financial, may cause you or your former spouse to request changes to your divorce decree. In the event of a divorce, the parties often negotiate a separation agreement with or without a lawyer. The agreement can deal with it: if you want to change your agreement as soon as the final decree on divorce has already been adopted, it becomes more difficult. Your best option may be to convince the judge to reopen your case; Depending on the facts of your case, you can work with your lawyer to prove that your spouse committed fraud during the negotiations. You can also prove that you were deceived when signing documents. For example, if the divorce decree states that the children`s visitation agreement must start on Friday, but you need it to start on a Thursday, you can see if you can arrange this outside the court by talking to your ex-partner.
