14 Post-decree and post-final order service

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

If someone wants to file a motion more than six months after a divorce decree or final court order is issued, they have to notify the other side by regular mail. This means sending the motion to the other party's last known address.

If that person still has a lawyer on record from the case, the motion must also go to that lawyer by mail. This double notice helps make sure the other side actually finds out about the motion, even if some time has passed since the case ended.

This rule matters because family situations change over time. People move, get new phone numbers, or stop working with their old lawyer. By requiring mail to both the last known address and the attorney of record, the court tries to make sure important legal papers reach the right person, even years after a divorce or final order was entered.
