In general, when the courts give an order or decree, its terms are final and will last as long as the time frame presented in the order. However, circumstances can change. The courts will grant modifications of orders if the petitioner can show that his or her circumstances have substantially changed since the date the order was given. If you can no longer fulfill the terms of your divorce agreement, for example, due to a change in your job, location or living expenses, you can request a modification of your divorce decree to reflect your new life.
