It means that the opposing party is seeking to change an existing court order in the divorce case. The petition should have the hearing date and the reasons that the opposing party is seeking the change. You probably have strict deadlines to file your opposition, so you should see a local family law attorney right way.

It means someone is requestion the court to change what the judge ordered or get rid of the judge's order all together.
