Life moved on.
Your decree
can catch up.

Uncontested modifications — where your ex agrees — typically resolve in 4–8 weeks. Contested modifications that go to a hearing can take 3–6 months. divvi speeds up every step you control.

Yes. If you both agree, divvi prepares a signed Memorandum of Understanding and instructions for next steps — it does not prepare court filings. If your ex contests it, divvi helps you prepare. divvi offers mediation. You may consult your own Utah attorney. divvi is not a law firm and can't give legal advice.

Utah courts require something significant that wasn't foreseeable at the time of the decree — a major income change, relocation, remarriage, a child's changed needs, or documented parenting failures. divvi's intake helps you articulate this in the way courts expect.

No — enforcement is separate from modification. If your ex isn't complying with an existing order, the remedy is a motion for contempt or order to show cause, not a modification petition. divvi can help you with that too.

Informal agreements aren't enforceable. To modify a court order, a judge must sign a new order. divvi makes this process fast — a Stipulated Modification can sometimes be approved without a hearing.

When something has changed since the order was entered — but Utah sets a different bar depending on what you're changing, and this is the detail most people get wrong. Parent-time needs only 'a change in circumstances' (Utah Code § 81-9-208(1)(b)) — a lower bar than custody, which needs a 'substantial and material' change (§ 81-9-208(1)(a)). Child support needs a substantial change AND a 15% difference between the ordered amount and the current guideline amount, and the difference must not be temporary (§ 81-6-212(3)-(4)) — or, separately, if it has been three or more years since the order, a 10% difference with no showing of changed circumstances at all (§ 81-6-212(5)). Alimony needs a 'substantial material change' that is not already addressed in your decree (§ 81-4-504).

The most common modifications are to child custody and parent-time, child support amounts, and alimony. Property division in the original decree generally cannot be reopened.

No. If you both agree, an uncontested modification is straightforward. If your ex disagrees, you can still file a contested modification and, if needed, use mediation to try to resolve it.

An agreed modification is $500 flat with divviModify, whether or not children are involved — that price covers the paperwork. If you don't agree yet, divviResolve (AI-guided negotiation) is included at no separate cost, and contested modification mediation is $1,000, paid in full by the party who asks for the modification, and charged only after the other party agrees to mediate. As many sessions as the modification needs, with no hour limit and no charge for additional time. If you reach terms, divvi prepares a Memorandum of Understanding for both of you to sign; divvi does not prepare court filing documents for a contested modification. If you file an agreed modification with the court, you'll also pay any court filing fee that applies.
