What is a final order?
In the UK, a final order in a divorce is a legally binding court decision that sets out the terms of a divorce settlement between the parties involved. It typically includes provisions for the division of property, financial support, and arrangements for any children. Once a final order has been made, it can only be changed in very limited circumstances, such as if there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as the loss of a job or the birth of another child.
The final order is a crucial step in the divorce process as it provides both parties with certainty and closure, allowing them to move on with their lives. It is important to note that the final order should reflect a fair and just settlement for both parties and should take into account any relevant factors such as the needs of any children involved and the parties’ financial circumstances.
How can you get a final order changed?
In the UK, a final order in a divorce can only be changed in limited circumstances. To have your final order changed, you will need to make an application to the court for a variation or a variation of a financial remedy order.
The process for changing a final order will depend on the specific circumstances and the terms of the original order, but typically involves the following steps:
Make an application: You will need to make an application to the court for a variation of the final order. This can be done through a solicitor or you can make the application yourself.
Provide evidence: You will need to provide evidence to support your application, such as evidence of a change in your financial circumstances, evidence of the other party’s changed circumstances, or evidence of any other relevant factors.
Attend a court hearing: A court hearing may be required, depending on the nature and complexity of your application. At the hearing, the judge will consider your application and any evidence you have provided.
It is important to note that changing a final order is not a straightforward process, and there may be significant legal and procedural requirements that must be met. It is advisable to seek the advice of a solicitor to assist you in the process. Additionally, the court will only consider changing a final order if there has been a significant change in circumstances since the original order was made.
