My ex husband altered our divorce decree without my consent. The amount of spousal support each month and length of time. Is this legal?

Answered 10 years and 2 months ago by Cathy Lynn Naugle (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Family

File an "ex parte" (emergency) motion telling the court where you want to take the kids on vacation, serve it on her and let the court determine the vacation.  Go to the court in the county in which you were divorced.  You can go to the Family Court Facilitator in the court house to advise you.  Take a copy of the judgment or pick one up.  The cops are right on this- they need the dates....
