Modifying Court Orders in Georgia
Post Decree Modifications Overview
At the resolution of a family law case, the court will issue a “Final Order” or a “Final Decree.” For cases involving minor children, these orders include a "Parenting Plan" that decides child custody and child support based on the minor children’s best interests.
Despite these names, orders regarding minor children are always subject to possible modification as the children’s needs change over the years.
Modifications are possible when there has been a substantial change in circumstances surrounding your children’s best interests. The specific facts of each child’s needs, their best interests, and each parent’s income affect the outcome of post-decree modification cases.
