What can be modified in a divorce decree?
A divorce decree can be modified if the terms of the divorce are unjust or conditions have changed since the divorce. Once the divorce is finalized and the time of appeal has passed (which is generally within 30 days of the decree), you cannot amend the division of property and liabilities.
How long does it take to modify a divorce decree?
The time varies from state to state, but thirty to sixty days after the court has a complete record is typical for a decision to be reached. The appellate decision most likely will uphold the trial court’s decision.
How do you enforce a divorce settlement agreement?
To enforce an agreement or liability, you must first get a court order. If under your financial orders you need a document to be signed (for instance, to transfer money or to sell property) and the payer refuses to sign it, you can ask for an order that the court appoint a person to sign the document/s on their behalf.
