  -> Netočna. "amend" e idiomatski i 100% točne.
disagree  Daryo: this is not a criminal case so no "indictment" nor "charges"
7 hrs
  -> (1) How do you know it is not criminal? (2) What is wrong with "to amend the complaint"? "amend" is the exact term of art. "alter" is never used.

--------------------------------------------------

alteration is a variation made in the language or terms of a legal document that affects the rights and obligations of the parties to it. When this occurs, the alteration is material and the party who did not consent to the change can be released from his or her duties under the document by a court.
