Process to Modify a Divorce Order in Las Vegas, NV
Although the court expects the parties to try to work out their problems out of court, the court knows that sometimes it becomes necessary to modify an order after a substantial change in circumstances. If the parties can agree on the modification that needs to be made then a modifications attorney can prepare a stipulation and proposed order for the court’s consideration.
If the parties cannot agree, it might be helpful to go to mediation to try and resolve the issues without going back to court for a contested evidentiary hearing. As a last alternative, the parties can ask the court to resolve any changes that should be made to the orders entered when the divorce was finalized.
The first step in the process of filing a “Motion to Modify” the previously entered order. The motion tells the court what the order currently says, the change in circumstances since that order was entered, and the proposed changes that should be made. A motion to modify an issue decided in the divorce can be filed by either spouse. So either the husband or wife or the plaintiff or defendant can file the motion to modify a prior order.
After the motion to modify is filed and served, then the other side can file a written opposition if he or she disagrees with the requested changes. After the motion is filed and served, and the opposition is received, then the court can set a hearing date. At the hearing, the court can consider evidence and hear testimony to decide what changes should be made to the order if any.
