What ArePost-Decree Matters?
Post-decree matters are legal issues that come up after a final divorce or custody order has been entered by the court. These can include:
Modifying parenting time or custody
Changing child support or spousal support
Enforcing existing court orders
Relocation disputes
Addressing contempt for violations of court orders
To make changes, you must file a motion with the court and show that a substantial change in circumstances has occurred. Enforcement issues may involve filing for contempt or requesting the court to compel compliance. These cases can be emotional and complex, especially when children are involved or the other party refuses to cooperate.
