Life doesn’t stand still after divorce—kids grow up, jobs change, and circumstances shift. But what happens when your divorce agreement no longer fits your reality?

In this episode, Greer Howard and family law attorney Bobby Buchanan dive into what you can and cannot modify after a divorce is finalized. 

They cover:

• The difference between property division (final) vs. custody, parenting time, and support (modifiable)
• What counts as a “substantial change in circumstances” and when courts will consider updates
• Real-life scenarios, from relocation and job changes to new medical needs, remarriage, and teen preferences
• Why mediation often comes first and how to minimize drama if you do end up back in court

Whether you’re years past your divorce or currently negotiating an agreement, this conversation sheds light on how to adapt when life changes and how to keep your child’s best interests at the center.
