What orders can be modified after divorce?

Life can change after a divorce, and in some situations, your court orders may need to change too.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to modify orders involving parenting time, decision-making responsibilities, child support, or spousal maintenance.

Not every order can be modified in the same way, so understanding the requirements for your specific situation is important.

Think your current court order no longer works for your situation?

Don’t make changes on your own.

Even when circumstances have changed, an existing court order generally remains in effect until it is properly modified. Changing a parenting schedule, support arrangement, or another court-ordered obligation without addressing the order itself can create additional legal problems.

Before you make a change, take the time to understand what your current order requires and what legal options may be available.

Life changes, and sometimes your court orders need to change with it.

Changes in employment, income, parenting time, your child’s needs, or other important circumstances may affect the terms of an existing court order.

If your family’s circumstances have changed significantly, a modification may be an option worth exploring.

Every situation is different, so understanding your legal options is an important first step.

If your circumstances have changed, contact us to discuss your options.

FAQ: Do common law spouses have to get divorced?

Common law marriage can sometimes create confusion when a relationship comes to an end. In Colorado, if a valid common law marriage exists, the couple may need to go through the legal divorce process to formally end the marriage, just like any other married couple.

However, determining whether a common law marriage exists depends on the specific circumstances of the relationship.

If you have questions about your situation or are unsure about your legal options, our team is here to help.
