Parties are permitted to vary or modify anything in their divorce agreement if they both agree. I usually suggest that the agreement be in writing, signed by both parties and notarized. The best procedure is to have it reduced to a Court Order and signed by a Judge.

Keep in mind that this advice is based purely on the little bit of information that you have given to me. There certainly may be other factors that would change my opinion. Further, no one can rely on advice from an attorney who has not been retained. Since it appears that you have not retained an attorney, you may want to contact a Family Law attorney (either me or someone else) to discuss your matter in more detail. Only then will you be able to rely on the advice. If you call me at 856-546-8010, mention Law Guru and your first one hour consultation will be free. Good luck! Rob Gleaner
