How to Change Divorce Agreements

Though each state and county has different procedures for how you go about changing the terms of your divorce agreement, it generally requires either coming to a new agreement with your spouse or asking the court to change the divorce decree itself, or both. It is always easier to change a divorce agreement if both you and your spouse agree to the changes, but you may still have to convince the court to agree to the new terms.
