Once a divorce decree is granted you are bound by its terms, but issues like alimony awards, child custody arrangements, and child support amounts can potentially be modified post-judgment if the requesting party meets the test of “substantial change in circumstances.” There may also be grounds for post-judgment contempt if one of the parties fails to comply with the terms of a court’s order, for example by willfully denying visitation rights or by failing to pay alimony or child support in a timely manner.

Judges will not undo the terms of your divorce post-judgment. However, there are instances where a modification is appropriate or a contempt matter necessary. A competent attorney can advise you on what route to pursue and the nuances in the law required to prevail on same.
