Both need to be part of the divorce agreement--or else you'll just end up in court again, spending more money.
AnswerNo. The divorce decree signifies the marriage is over, that all matters between the parties have been resolved, and the parties have no further claims against each other.
Separation agreements that are incorporated into the divorce decree have a clause to that effect. The courts are extremely busy. They do not have the time to hear divorce cases in a piecemeal fashion. They do not allow you to take care of only one part of the dissolution of the marriage and come back later for the rest. It must all be settled when the decree is entered.
If necessary both alimony and child support orders can be modified by later court orders if the circumstances change.
