We got divorced in 1997. We both have remarried. Our children are over eighteen now. There are a few other changes in circumstances. What is the easiest way to amend or modify some of the stipulations in that decree in South Dakota.

Depending on the local practice and procedure, you would file your stipulation in the divorce case. Have a spot at the bottom for the judge to sign off on it. Ask the clerk of court if this will be sufficient.

But why do you need to bother with reciting that you are remarried and your children are grown (which would be obvious and not a material change in circumstances)?

I would like details to file the forms needed to amend or modify stipulations in a past divorce decree due to many changes in circumstances.

And we would like to know what country you live in, Mexico, Canada, France perhaps? We are an international site.
Are you doing this though the legal system. Or perhaps religious law as in Muslim nations?

What is the argument for modification after 13 years? I can't imagine a court doing so without something truly compelling in the case. If its something not being followed through then file contempt on the other party. Everything should have already been settled after this period.

That was my fault. It didn't let me show it as merged. There used to be 2 threads and now they are combined.
