Official forms to change a divorce order, by state
Sources last checked 2 to 7 November 2026. Information only, not legal advice.
What these forms are called
After a divorce, you can ask the court to change an order you already have. The paper you file for this has a different name in each state. It may be a motion, a petition, a supplemental petition or a request for order.
Three kinds of order are covered here: child support, alimony and custody with parenting time. Some states call alimony maintenance or spousal support. Texas calls custody conservatorship.
The table below gives the form name that each of our state guides gives. It adds nothing else. It covers the 50 states our guides cover so far.
None named means the guide did not name a form for that kind of change. Not covered yet means we have no guide for that kind of change in that state.

Scroll the table sideways to see every column. Each guide has the form details, the test the court uses and what we could not confirm.
Before you file
- Court staff cannot give legal advice.
- Check the current form and the fee with the court clerk. Forms and fees change.
- A family law facilitator or a self-help center can help with the forms. A lawyer can too.
What we could not confirm
These gaps show up across the guides.
- Fees. Most guides state no filing fee because the forms and sources they read give none. In Michigan, two official sources give different figures. In Georgia, the state child support review page and its form give different fee-waiver figures.
- Forms not found. No form was named for Texas spousal maintenance or Texas custody, Ohio spousal support, Illinois child support, maintenance and custody, or Pennsylvania alimony. The Pennsylvania and Georgia guides found no statewide support form. Michigan and New York name no form for spousal support or maintenance.
- Custody guides. We have custody guides for 17 of the 50 states so far. “Not covered yet” in the custody column means we have not written that guide.
- Case law. Several guides say they read statutes, court rules and forms but not court decisions. They do not say how a judge weighs a change in circumstances.
- County and local rules. Several guides did not read county or local court rules. Local forms and steps can differ.
- Current versions. Some forms the guides read are dated years ago, for example Florida 11/15, Michigan Rev. 6/19 and the Georgia Fulton County petition Rev. Feb. 2016. The guides did not always confirm that a newer version does not exist.
