Changing a Court Order or Judgmemt

Once the divorce, legal separation, or final judgment of paternity has been granted, parties may make changes to some parts of their Court Order or Judgment.  However, making changes to previously made court orders can sometimes be more complicated than you might think.  Parties are encouraged to consider the legal issues before filing actions with the court.

Once the issues are considered, changes can be made one of three ways:

By Affidavit
A party needs to modify the termination date of child support for a last or only child.

By Stipulation
The parties AGREE to all the details of what they want changed. 

By Motion
The parties DO NOT AGREE to the details of what they want changed.
