Modificación de medidas de divorcio

español al inglés Jurídico/Patentes Derecho: (general) Divorce decree
Hi all,

I'm not sure how to translate the above mentioned term, please see context below:

"SENTENCIA (...) JUEZ QUE LA DICTA (...) Los autos seguidos en este juzgado (...) bajo el nº (...) cuyo objeto era la MODIFICACIÓN DE MEDIDAS DE DIVORCIO entre los solicitantes (...)"

It's basically a decree by means of which their divorce settlement agreement is modified, with regard to the child they have in common.

My translation:

Court representative (...) acting on behalf of and representing (...), has submitted the application for the modification of the divorce agreements made by the petitioners.

I didn't want to use "divorce settlement agreement" here as that is the translation I use for "convenio regulador", which appears later in the text:

"Se ha acompañado a la solicitud convenio regulador de fecha 02/06/09"

Thank you

Discussion

Robert Carter Sep 2, 2016:
Hard to tell what this refers to without more context. Where is this from? Are they "medidas definitivas", "medidas provisionales", "medidas cautelares", etc? Is this a no-fault or at-fault divorce, etc?

Modification of divorce terms

Although 'terms' isn't the translation of 'medidas', I think this is what I would use.

Custody and child/spousal support terms are binding, but they are not set in stone. In most states, the court order for a change is called a “modification.” Technically, you can pursue a modification at any time after the last order. The key is knowing when you have enough evidence to convince a court that a “substantial change of circumstances” has occurred since the entry of the original order.

I think my answer is better suited for the US, not the UK.

You could replace 'terms' with 'arrangements'. Up until 2014, a 'statement of arrangements' existed in the UK.

As of the 22nd April 2014, it has not been necessary for a Statement of Arrangements for Children form (also known as a D8a) to be filed along with a divorce petition if any minor children were born to, or lived with, the Petitioner and Respondent.

Previously, it was necessary to file this document in order to show the court that appropriate arrangements were in place for any minor children that would have been affected by the divorce. Due to recent changes to family law, however, Section 41 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 – which stipulated that the courts were required to consider whether or not it was necessary to exercise any of the powers afforded to it by the Children Act 1989 within divorce proceedings – has been repealed. As a result of this, the court is no longer required to consider whether appropriate arrangements are in place for the children of a divorcing couple; hence why it is no longer necessary for such a form to be submitted when the couple file for a divorce.

I've found what I was looking for! The British 'statement of arrangements' has been replaced by a 'child arrangement order'.

Sometimes circumstances change after the court has made a final decision. For example, the arrangements in a Child Arrangements Order may no longer work as the father has moved away, or the other parent may not be collecting the child when he is supposed to. If circumstances change you can apply to the court to “vary” the order. The same procedure applies to this application, so you will need to follow the procedure set out above.

(E&W) Variation of divorce relief agreement

Variation is the right English & Welsh term.

I'm not sure what kind of 'convenio regulador' agreement has been made - if for maintenance, then it is ancillary relief, if about child custody, then special relief.
Example sentence:

"Ancillary relief is concerned with the finances on divorce"

Peer comment(s):

neutral AllegroTrans : It isn't the decree which is being modified (unless the couple have changed their mind about divorcing...)// the decree is simply that, i.e. a decree of divorce; what this is about is a separate, ancillary order; the decree of divorce remains unaffected
1 hora
no, the couple is divorced, yet circumstances have changed since then, that´s why law foresees possibilities for having the decree amended, i.e. modified. pls. see my subsequent entries
neutral Adrian MM. (X) : Your answer and refs. are totally US-slanted when the asker is in the UK.
6 horas
the asker is in the UK, but that doesnt necessarily hold true for the case in question; my references in any case pove that prior divorce decress CAN be amended.
