Child Custody Modifications
There may come a time when you want to modify your child custody agreement.
Whether custody terms were set out in the divorce decree or you were never married but have a court-approved custody agreement, you can petition to alter custody itself or to change specifics of the day-to-day parenting arrangements.
How Do You Qualify For A Modification?
To make a child custody modification, you must show a change in circumstances. These factors often include one parent losing a job, a drastic income change, and shifts in a child’s needs.
- Losing a job,
- a drastic income change,
- and shifts in a child’s needs are just some of the reasons you might have to petition the court for a modification.
A couple may have various reasons to modify a child custody order or custody agreement, but a change in circumstances is necessary to initiate the modification process.
