Questions

When can I modify a divorce decree in Utah?
Utah law allows modification when circumstances have changed — but the bar differs by what you are changing. Parent-time requires only 'a change in circumstances' (§ 81-9-208(1)(b)); custody requires a 'substantial and material' change (§ 81-9-208(1)(a)); child support requires a substantial change plus a 15% difference from the guideline amount (§ 81-6-212); and alimony requires a 'substantial material' change not already addressed in the decree (§ 81-4-504). Qualifying changes include income changes, relocation, a child's needs changing, or a change in the parenting arrangement.
Do we both have to agree?
For an uncontested modification, yes — both parties must agree to the new terms and sign the stipulation. If you don't agree, that's a contested modification, and mediation or court may be needed.
How much does an uncontested modification cost with divvi?
$300 flat fee for divvi's document preparation, plus the court's $100 filing fee paid directly to the court — $400 total. The filing fee is set statewide by statute, so it's the same in every Utah county.
How long does this take?
Once you've completed the divvi questions, document preparation takes minutes. Courts typically approve uncontested modifications within 2–6 weeks without requiring a hearing.
Do I need an attorney?
Not for an uncontested modification. Both parties signing a stipulation is legally sufficient in Utah for most modification types. If your situation is complex or the other party contests the change, we'd recommend consulting an attorney.

Frequently asked questions

When can I modify a Utah divorce decree?

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).

What can be modified after divorce?

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.

Do both spouses have to agree to a modification?

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.

How much does a modification cost with divvi?

A modification is $300 flat with divviModify, whether or not children are involved — and that price covers the whole process. If your ex disagrees, divviResolve AI-guided negotiation is included at no extra cost. If you need a live mediator, a divviMediate session is $1,500 flat (a 2-hour block for modifications).
