Post-Decree
Post decree issues references issues that have arisen after the divorce or parentage proceedings have concluded. Examples include, modification or termination of child support or maintenance/spousal support, modification of parenting time, modification of the allocation of decision making for the children, or the pursuant of unpaid support or arrearages. Many spouses will experience post-decree litigation of some sort. Each post-decree matter is unique depending on what the actual issue is. In general in order to return to court to modify most terms of a divorce, there must be a substantial change in circumstances. A substantial change in circumstances is very fact specific and determined on a case by case basis.
The other large area of post-decree litigation relates to enforcing the Court Orders entered in your matter. This includes seeking support payments that were unpaid or seeking compliance with the terms of a parenting schedule for example. In these cases, there are specific orders which the other party has chosen to ignore. The Court always maintains the ability to enforce these orders.
