The short answer is no. But the spouse may characterize it differently. Generally, the terms of a divorce decree are final, and cannot be modified. The court continues to have jurisdiction over child custody, child support and, in most cases, alimony. Please feel free to email me to discuss this further at my website www.divorcelawyermn.com or directly at [email protected].

I am not sure I understand your question, but am certain I can help once I do.

I can explain the issues and procedures related to your matter better by phone or in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via e'mail. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss the matter in more detail.

Please call me directly to discuss the specifics of your case, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule a free 1/2 hour consultation.
