Yes, it is absolutely possible to amend a Separation Agreement to change existing provisions or include new provisions, so long as you and your present/former spouse agree on the change(s). You and your current/former spouse must sign a written document that specifies that it is amending the prior Separation Agreement. The document should state clearly exactly which provisions in the original Separation Agreement are being deleted or changed, or if an entirely new provision is being added. The Amendment to Separation Agreement must be signed by both parties and notarized, just like the original agreement.
