S9 Ep17: Can You Modify a Divorce Decree After Finalization?

#ChooseGoldman Yes, you can modify a divorce decree after it's finalized, but it's not a simple process. You must prove to the court that a "significant change in circumstance" has occurred, and the court will be hesitant to undo its final judgment. • You must show a "significant change in circumstance" for the court to consider modifying a final decree. • The court is hesitant to undo a judgment that required significant negotiation and was already finalized. • If both parties mutually agree to a small change, the court is likely to approve it quickly. • For major changes, such as child custody, the court must hold a hearing, even if both parties agree. • For any changes involving children, the court's primary responsibility is to determine if the change is in the "best interest of the child." 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi6hS0cwPKU For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-child-custody-lawyer/modification-child-custody-michigan ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
