Sometimes a party's pleadings need to be changed, or ''amended''. Usually, a change is required because a fact is wrong, like a date or a name. At other times, a change is required to raise a new defence or to make a new claim.
For example, say a spouse had a job when an action started and then lost it halfway through the case. If that spouse now needs spousal support but didn't make that claim in his or her their Notice of Family Claim, he or she they would need to amend his or her their pleadings to include the new claim.
