What Can I Change in my Divorce Decree?

So, you have a Utah divorce decree you negotiated (probably) or you got from trial (way less likely).

Now, you want to change some aspects of that decree.

Can you? If so, what can you change and what can’t you change?

The answer is pretty straightforward: you can change anything about your decree.

Yep, you can ask the Court to change any aspect — e.g., alimony, child support, custody, vacation time, etc.

Now, whether the Court approves your change is another matter. That depends on how compelling your reasoning and evidence is.

That said, you don’t need to worry about something being off limits. You can change anything in your decree.

The attorneys at Brown Family Law, and Jennifer Keeton in particular, are so caring, as well as competent. Jennifer was always easy to get ahold of and was good at listening and understanding what my goals were, and I always felt that she would do her utmost to ensure that I was taken care of and able to achieve the best outcome for me and my children.

I rarely ever leave a review but my divorce attorney, Nathaniel Garrabrandt, his paralegal and the entire Brown Family Law were great to work with. I received regular communication from Nathaniel and his staff throughout the process. Nathaniel was highly recommended to me and now I know why. I’m very grateful for Nathaniel and the staff at Brown Family Law. It was one of the most difficult times of my life and working with them made it a little better.

Brown Family Law have been wonderful to work with. Their professionalism, knowledge and empathy were instrumental in the successful resolution of a very difficult situation. If we ever had need of an attorney with their skill set we would not hesitate to call on them again.

Absolutely stand out humans leading me through one of the most stressful and disorienting events of my life. I got what I needed and with my soul intact. Great insights, compassion and I feel having the support and capabilities of Nick to be instrumental to my coming out the other side with optimism! Cheers, Brown Family Law!

I cannot express how grateful I am for the way Nathaniel and the team at Brown Family Law handled my divorce case. Their level of professionalism and honesty is truly exceptional—qualities that used to be standard but, unfortunately, feel increasingly rare today. From start to finish, they were supportive, transparent, and genuinely committed to helping me navigate an incredibly difficult time. I felt heard, respected, and well-represented every step of the way. I highly recommend Brown Family Law to anyone seeking a trustworthy and skilled legal team.

Sincerely

William Tovar,

I cannot recommend Attorney Fredian's work enough, she has been compassionate every step of the way, responsive, shown true care for her clients and an example of what a lawyer should be. An advocate who cares.

Daniel Young and Carren Leavitt did an awesome job working on my case. Their commitment and dedication was great. They kept me updated at every stage of the case until it was finalized. I would greatly recommend them.
