⚖️ How to Modify a Divorce Settlement After It’s Finalized? | Los Angeles Divorce
Can you modify a divorce settlement after the divorce has been finalized?
It depends on what part of the judgment you are trying to change. Certain orders, such as child support, spousal support, or custody, may be modifiable when the legal requirements are met and circumstances have changed. Other provisions, particularly property division, are generally treated differently once the judgment is final.
For example, a significant change in income, employment, or parenting circumstances may provide a basis to request a modification of an order that is legally modifiable. A final property division generally cannot simply be changed because one spouse later regrets the agreement, although specific legal circumstances may provide grounds for further court review.
This video explains what may be modified after divorce and why a finalized judgment is not simply a do-over opportunity.
