Modifying Child Custody Arrangements

Full Video Transcript

Life changes, and so can the needs of your family. If you’re considering modifying a child custody arrangement, here’s what you need to know. Circumstances that might make it possible to get a custody modification include relocation, changes in work schedules, or significant changes in the child’s needs. It’s crucial to remember, however, that you should never make changes to the agreed visitation schedule without a judge’s approval. Acting without court approval can lead to legal complications and can negatively impact the custody arrangement. To modify a custody order, you’ll need to file a petition with the court and demonstrate that there’s been a substantial change in circumstances that justifies the modification. Need guidance on how to proceed with modifying a visitation order?
