Can you modify a divorce decree in Georgia?
It is possible to modify certain aspects of your divorce settlement. When can you modify? Not everything concerning your divorce decree qualifies for a modification.

An appeal of a Family Court decision must be made within 28 days of the order being made. If a party wants to appeal a decision, they must file a Notice to Appeal and a copy of the order accompanied by the filing fee.
Can you be taken back to court after a divorce is final?
The court will consider reopening a divorce settlement only in exceptional cases either where a spouse has failed to provide full and frank disclosure about their wealth and income in divorce proceedings or there has been a material change in a spouse’s circumstances since the agreement was reached.
Can I sue my ex husband?
Today, even though you can sue your ex-spouse, many courts are still reluctant to interfere with personal matters related to marriage, particularly when it comes to matters of emotional distress or mental anguish. These types of cases, therefore, can be very difficult to win. You can also sue your ex-spouse for fraud.
