FAQ
Plaintiffs may choose to amend a complaint for numerous reasons such as to include additional claims, correct facts, add additional parties to the suit, include additional requests for relief, or clear up inadequate claims. Last updated in June of 2021 by the Wex Definitions Team
An amendment to a pleading must not be made by alterations on the face of a pleading except by permission of the court. All alterations must be initialed by the court or the clerk. (Subd (d) amended and relettered effective January 1, 2002; adopted as subd (b).)
In parliamentary procedure, the motion to amend is used to modify another motion. An amendment could itself be amended.
You will need to go back to the court where your order was issued and file modification forms. There will probably be a new hearing on the issue. You may also want to consult with an attorney to see if filing for a modification is appropriate under the circumstances of your case.
Motion to Modify By filing this motion, you are asking the court to change something in your final order. You must be able to show that there has been a "substantial change in circumstances" since the last court order. You can't file a Motion to Modify just because you don't agree with the order.
Basically, you can amend the complaint once as a matter of right. But you must do it before the defendant files a responsive pleading. Or you must do it before the due date for an opposition to a demurrer or motion to strike.

Amend has basically the same meaning in common usage as it does in the legal arena. When a legal document is amended, it is edited, corrected or changed in some way. When a legal document is amended during a legal proceeding, it must be done in ance with court rules and filed with the court.
The defendant shall answer the amendments, or the complaint as amended, within 30 days after service thereof, or such other time as the court may direct, and judgment by default may be entered upon failure to answer, as in other cases.
