Can I file for changes to our divorce agreement if my ex-spouse has violated the terms?
Understanding agreements
Not all divorce agreements are cut and dried. When two people can't get along, the stakes are high and emotions may run even higher. It's important to keep these facts in mind when you're going through a divorce agreement that has already been established as much as it is to understand what each party will want out of the agreement.
Terms
If there are some terms that you feel need to be altered, or if your ex-spouse has violated any of the terms, then you should consider filing for changes. It all depends on the nature of your original divorce agreement—the circumstances surrounding its creation, the terms themselves and how they are worded, etc.
Things to keep in mind when deciding if you want to file for changes
-What was the original reason/goal for drawing up this document? If you had a child custody issue, was it a sole custody issue? An issue with child support payments? If it was an issue with child custody and visitation rights and your ex-spouse is violating those terms now, then it would be worth filing for changes because those could affect your current and future family situation.
The short answer is yes! The longer answer is that if you're worried your ex has violated the terms of your divorce agreement, it's a good idea to contact a family law attorney to get the specifics of your case because there are some very important factors that must be considered.
