Memorandum of Understanding (modification) — document template

What it is

An agreed (uncontested) modification client chooses, before payment, how to finish:

• Memorandum of Understanding — divvi generates ONE document stating the agreed changes in plain terms, for both parties to sign. No court forms are generated.
• File with the court — the existing court packet, unchanged.

Same price either way. A client who chose the Memorandum may later choose to file; the court packet is regenerated without a second charge.

The template (rendered by src/lib/documents/mou-terms.ts)

Every sentence that states a fact about the case comes from the client's own answers — the same composed provisions (composeModificationProvisions) and decree references the court documents use. Nothing is printed that the client did not give.

1. Parties and case. The two parties' names; the original case number, county and decree date where the client gave them (each omitted, never invented, when not given).
2. What this is. The parties have agreed to change the terms of their decree described below, and this memorandum records that agreement in plain terms.
3. The agreed changes. One numbered item per composed provision, in the same wording as the court documents, with the decree paragraph it changes (and that paragraph's current text) where the client identified one.
4. When it takes effect. On the date the second party signs it.
5. This is not a court order. The memorandum does not change the court's order. The existing decree stays in effect, and the court can enforce only what that order says, until a judge signs an order modifying it. Either party may later file these changes with the court and ask a judge to approve them.
6. Signatures. A signature and date line for each party.
