Circumstances may require a review of issues arising out of finalization of a dissolution of marriage action.
Courts continue to retain jurisdiction to address
changing circumstances with regard to issues such as child support,
custody, parenting time, and if applicable spousal maintenance. A
party who wishes the Court to modify provisions in the original
Judgment and Decree does so by filing a motion with the Court with one
or more affidavits setting forth that party's specific request and the
basis for such request.
With regard to financial issues of child support and
spousal maintenance, the burden of proof is on a party seeking
modification to demonstrate a substantial change in financial
circumstances justifying such modification. Request for
modification pertaining to custody and parenting time are addressed
elsewhere on this site. |
