Can I modify my divorce decree in California after it’s finalized?

 

Yes. Certain aspects of a divorce decree, like child support, alimony, and custody arrangements, can be modified after finalization, but only if there has been a significant change in circumstances. This can include things like:

  • changes in income
  • change in living conditions
  • change in the needs of the child
  • changes for relocations
  • change in the fitness of a parent

To ensure that the modifications reflect the new situation while still protecting your interests, you should seek the advice of an experienced family law attorney like Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell, LLP.
