A: Parties to a Divorce can file a Motion under Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure 60 B to request the court to grant relief from a Divorce or Dissolution judgment or order. Motions can be filed based on mistakes; inadvertence; excusable neglect; newly discovered evidence; fraud; etc. The motion shall be made within a reasonable time but many reasons include that the motion cannot be brought more than one year after the judgment. Otherwise, pursuant to Ohio Revised Code 3105.171 a division or disbursement of property or a distributive award made pursuant to Divorce is not subject to future modification by the court except upon the express written consent or agreement to the modification by both spouses.
