§ 2074 Employee Benefit Plan Modification

This law lets people show new evidence in court to change or cancel an old order about work benefits or shared property. If the court changes the order, it can also change other related orders.

Key Takeaways

  • •You can show new evidence in court to change old orders about work benefits or shared property.
  • •If the court changes one order, it can also change other related orders.
  • •This only works if you and the other person didn’t agree in writing to not do this.

Example

A couple got divorced and the court said the husband gets half of the wife's work retirement money. Later, the wife finds out the retirement plan has new rules.

The wife can go back to court and show the new rules as evidence. If the court changes the retirement order, it can also change other orders, like how much money the husband pays her every month.
