AGREEMENTS & FINAL JUDGMENTS
Agreements and final judgments in family law refer to the legally binding resolutions reached by parties in a divorce or custody case. Agreements are typically negotiated settlements between spouses regarding issues like property division, child custody, and support.
​Property Division: Determining how marital assets and debts will be divided between the spouses.​​
​
Child Custody: Establishing arrangements for the care and upbringing of children, including physical custody (where the child lives) and legal custody (decision-making authority).​​
​
Child Support: Agree on financial support for the children’s needs, which can include expenses like education, healthcare, and extracurricular activities.​​
​
Spousal Support (Alimony): Deciding on financial support one spouse may pay to the other post-divorce to maintain a similar standard of living.

AGREEMENTS & FINAL JUDGMENTS
After the original judgment, the modification of agreements and final judgments refers to changes made to divorce-related orders, such as child custody, support, or alimony. If circumstances significantly change (e.g., job loss, relocation, or a child’s needs), either party can request a modification. If justified, the court reviews the request and adjusts the terms to reflect the new situation. Modifications ensure that the agreements remain fair and appropriate as life circumstances evolve.
