Re: amending our divorce agreement

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

There is no form that exactly meets your needs. The Florida Supreme Court authorized forms can be found online at:

Pay attention to the form number 12.905. While these are not exact, they might be modified to fit your needs. If not, your only choice is to either draft them yourself or retain an attorney who can draft the necessary pleadings for you.

Re: amending our divorce agreement

Nope. File for a modification of visitation. There is no amendment. A final judgment is just that.

Of course, if the parties can be amicable about it, then you could just do it. If a wheel falls off you might be back to square one.
