What clause can I put in my divorce decree that prevents my ex from modifying the custody agreement in future?

I am amidst a divorce and my ex-husband has agreed to give me 100% custody. I fear he may seek to modify our child custody agreement in the future. I've heard there is a clause which prevents this. What is it?

There is no clause you can put in the decree that prevents him from petitioning the court for a modification.

However, most states do not allow modification unless there is a significant change of circumstance of the child.

No such thing. Any party can petition the court in the future to modify a custody agreement.

All you can do is agree now, and then have your attorney ask that he give up all future parental rights. I think that's probably what you're thinking of, he would give up any and all future rights as their father and you in turn would give up any claim of child support.

No such a clause.

Most likely you heard about a "Prenuptial agreement" (a very smart thing to do) with such a clause; actually some women do that to make sure they wont have to worry about it later.

But in your case it seems too late for that; your best bet now it to try to play a nice & friendly ex-wife (even if you have to fake it) because most post-marriage problems are due to both parties behaving like immature kids.

I don't think that's possible. Someone always has the right to request a change in a divorce/custody agreement unless they volunteer to give up that right.

NONE! Not anything legally binding.
