Post Judgement
Modification
Either party in a divorce has a right to modify post-judgment matters related to child support, timesharing and alimony. Any changes or modifications, though, must be based on substantial changes in circumstances from the time that the last order relating to those matters was entered. Substantial changes in circumstances must be material, involuntary, permanent and unanticipated at the time of the last order.
