After a divorce decree has been entered, can a Norfolk Circuit Court enter a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) to create a procedural change effectuating the terms of the final divorce decree?
Yes. Courts always have the authority to interpret their own orders, even 21 days after entry of a divorce decree. As long as the Norfolk Circuit Court Judge does not alter the terms of the initial decree substantively, the Judge can enter a QDRO to make it conform to the intentions of the party.
