After your divorce: changing a support or custody order

Sources last checked 4 November 2026. Information only, not legal advice.

The short version

A divorce order is not always final in the way people expect. Courts can change support, and sometimes custody or parenting time, when circumstances change. Each state sets its own test, forms and fees, so we have a separate page for each state below. Every page quotes the statute, names the official form where we found one, and says plainly what we could not confirm.

State guides

Not sure which guide you need? Try the state-by-state checker. Looking for the official form? See the form for each state and type.

Each guide shows the date we last checked it.

We publish a state only after we have checked its statutes and its court or agency sources, and every page says what we could not confirm. If your question is not covered, start with your state’s divorce kit page and ask the court clerk or your court’s self-help center which form applies.

Before you file

  • Court staff cannot give legal advice. A family law facilitator, self-help center or lawyer can.
  • Rules and fees change. Check the current form and amount with your clerk before you file.
