Divorce Settlement Modifications

Also referred to as a property settlement agreement, a marital settlement agreement (MSA) is a contract that outlines the decisions agreed upon by the divorcing parties (spouses) regarding the property, debt division, child custody, child support, spousal support and other considerations pertinent to the divorce. The terms of the MSA become the basis for the court’s orders regarding the divorce.

The MSA exists as a binding contract between the spouses and is generally non-modifiable by the court. If any terms of the MSA are not fulfilled by one spouse, the other spouse can bring an action for breach of the MSA. Our attorneys at Heitke Counselors Associates LLC, can expertly negotiate and draft your MSA. We understand that finalizing your divorce and post-divorce issues is paramount to you. A well-drafted MSA contemplates and solidifies both the standard issues we have seen for years and those unique to your circumstance.

With or without an MSA, certain issues are always modifiable, such as child support payments, placement and custody. Modifications to the final judgment of divorce may be granted when there is a substantial change in circumstances from those that existed at the time the divorce was finalized. An experienced post-divorce modification lawyer can help you take the necessary steps to change the court order.
