Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

divorce

once a divorce is signed by both parties and by the judge is that document now binding--even if one of the parties say that the divorce doesn't make sense or that he agreed to pay more child support than what the state law says he should and now he wants to change that. Also if the house was signed over in a quick deed and now the mortgage is only in one persons name can the other party come back now 2 years later and demand the equity in the house?

Re: divorce

Once the judge signs an order it is final until amended by another order. If you do not understand the order, you can attempt to get an amended order (which you do understand) signed. A party can return to court to amend a decree after it is signed, but there is no guarantee the judge will agree. You will need to respond to the petition to amend the decree about the real estate.
