FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I Need a Lawyer to Modify Custody?

In order to modify a court-ordered custody agreement (or to make a modification to a schedule where one parent doesn’t agree with the changes) you will need to handle the situation in court. As the first step in this process, you will need to file a legal petition or child custody modification. Technically, you are allowed to do this on your own, but since the process is highly nuanced, in order to have the best chance at a favorable outcome, you should make sure to have an experienced child custody modifications lawyer on your side.
How Long Do You Have to Wait to Modify Custody?

Once the court has made a decision in a custody case, it becomes effective immediately. In order for the custody order to be changed, there needs to be a material change in circumstance. This means that something has to have changed in the child’s situation that impacts their best interests.
What Are Grounds for Custody Change?

In order for a custody change to be granted there needs to be a significant change in circumstance that impacts the child or children in question. As with all custody decisions, the primary factor in the judge’s decision will be whether the change will be in the best interests of the child. Some potential grounds for child custody modification include the physical or mental health of the parent or child, domestic violence, an unsafe living situation for the child, or if a parent is moving a far distance away.
What Is Modification of Child Custody?

If you are looking to change a current child custody agreement through the court, you will need to file a child custody modification or petition in order to change the existing order. Once the modification has been filed, both you and the other parent will need to attend a new custody hearing in order to present the case to the judge who will then make the determination whether or not to grant the modification.
