VA Law- Can an non lawyer apply to have a divorce decree modified?
My ex and I need to modify the financial portion of our divorce decree due to the rediculously slow real estate market. Based on the thousands we have spent on attorneys I am hoping there is a way to ammend the order pro se. Is this possible?
Answers:
Yes. Depending on what it is you want to modify you may be able to do it by a simple letter agreement between you or you may have to file a motion with the court to modify the final judgment. If it involves child support you'll probably have to get the court to modify it. But if it only involves disposition of or proceeds from sale of the house, probably not. Since your house is probably the bulk of your assets, you may want to at least ask your lawyer. But whatever agreement you make -- do it in writing.

as far as I know, virtually anything can be done pro se. Go to some legal websites and then hone your search to find only results relevant to your state. You can also contact your local Bar Association to ask this question and get a 100% legitimate answer rather than relying on faceless nameless and anonymous posters on a public website such as this. Also get legal advice from a credible and reliable source. I am not a lawyer but my knowledge of the legal field tells me that yes, you can do it pro se but make sure you know what you are doing.
Yes. This is simply an appeal of a divorce decree.
You can always apply on your own behalf.
