Your Questions Answered

What is a "post-decree modification"?

A post-decree modification is a legal change made to an existing court order. As an example, after a divorce or custody judgment has been finalized.

These modifications typically involve updates to custody arrangements, parenting time, or child support based on:

  • Parent relocation
  • A change in work schedule
  • Temporary schedule changes (summer holidays or vacation)
  • Concerns about the child's wellbeing

 

 

How does the court decide whether to modify a custody order in Oklahoma?

To modify a custody order, you must show that there has been a substantial and material change in circumstances since the last order and that the proposed change is in the best interests of the child. This could include a parent’s relocation, changes in a child’s needs, or concerns about the current environment.

Can I modify my child custody agreement without court?

Yes. Some custody modifications can be resolved through mediation or negotiation, especially if both parents agree on the changes. However, any modification must still be approved by a judge to become legally binding.

Do you handle both custody agreements and post-decree modifications?

Yes. We handle initial custody agreements as part of our divorce representation, helping parents establish legal and physical custody terms during the divorce process. We also offer standalone services for post-decree custody modifications, including changes due to relocation, evolving child needs, or non-compliance with an existing order.
