Frequently Asked Questions

Can a divorce judgment be modified?

Divorce judgments address both past matters — such as the liquidation of matrimonial property — and future arrangements — such as child custody and maintenance payments.

Future arrangements in a divorce judgment can be modified when significant and lasting changes occur. For instance, maintenance payments may be adjusted due to job loss or substantial changes in income. Similarly, if a child expresses a strong desire to change their custody arrangement, this aspect may be reconsidered. Since the law provides no rigid criteria for such modifications, this flexibility works both ways — something we skillfully use to our clients' advantage. Past matters are generally settled permanently after appeal deadlines expire. However, we can seek revision in specific cases — such as concealed information or criminal influence — but this must be done quickly, so consult us without delay.

Can I get divorced?

You can consider divorce in four cases: (1) both spouses agree to divorce; (2) you have been living separately for two years — consult us beforehand; (3) continuing the marriage has become unbearable — while this is often not readily accepted, consult us to determine if your situation falls under this provision; (4) you wish to avoid jurisdiction abroad (meaning your spouse filing for divorce in another country) — while this case is not easy to handle, it is worth a consultation.
