Q: Can you change divorce paperwork after it’s been filed but divorce isn’t final yet?
My wife and I already filed for an uncontested divorce and agreed on custody and child support but I was looking back through the paperwork and noticed she had put over the past 5 years the children stayed with her during weekdays and myself on weekends and that’s not accurate.They stay with her Sunday night through Thursday morning. They stay with me Thursday through Sunday night and usually stay more than that. My main concern is if I don’t change that will it affect what we already agreed to as far as child support and custody? We agreed to 50/50 and to leave child support as it is now.
A: If you have a Dissolution Agreement that you like, then submit that to the Court for entry. It makes no difference what the earlier pleadings say. The Final Decree is what counts.
