Common Reasons For Seeking A Modification
In California, to get a child custody order modified, you generally need to demonstrate a significant change in circumstances. Such changes may include:
- A change in a child’s medical needs or care requirements
- A change in a parent’s work schedule or job
- A parent relocating
- Instances of neglect or abuse
- Instances of parental alienation
- Violations of the existing custody order
If you encounter these or any other substantial life changes, promptly reaching out to an attorney can be critical. Our team can assess your situation to help you determine if you have grounds for a modification. We can then assist you with the necessary legal steps.
When Parents Agree On Changes
The simplest modification cases are typically when both parents agree on new custody terms. In such situations, courts will usually approve modification requests. Our firm can guide you through the process of obtaining judicial approval for changes you and your ex-spouse agree on.
When Modifications Are Contested
When parents disagree on modifications, a judge typically decides on the matter based on the child’s best interests. If you find yourself in such a situation, our experienced team is ready to help. Our attorneys are well-versed in the factors courts consider in these cases. We can develop customized strategies to advocate for any necessary changes to orders.
