modification order

Read a random definition: out of court

A quick definition of modification order:

A modification order is a change made to a court order that was previously decided in a divorce case. This change can be related to child support, custody, visitation, or alimony. The change can be agreed upon by both parties or ordered by the court. To make a modification, the person requesting it must show that there has been a significant change in circumstances since the original order was made.

A more thorough explanation:

A modification order is a legal order that changes the terms of child support, custody, visitation, or alimony after a divorce has been finalized. This order can be agreed upon by both parties or ordered by the court.

In order to request a modification order, the party seeking the change must show a significant change in circumstances since the original order was entered. This change must be material and have a significant impact on the current situation.

  • Example 1: A father who was previously ordered to pay child support loses his job and is unable to make the payments. He can request a modification order to reduce the amount of child support he is required to pay.
  • Example 2: A mother who was previously awarded sole custody of her children remarries and wants to move out of state with her new spouse. She can request a modification order to change the custody arrangement and allow her to move with the children.

These examples illustrate how a modification order can be used to change the terms of a divorce agreement when there has been a significant change in circumstances. In both cases, the parties are seeking a modification order to better reflect their current situation and needs.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
