Child Custody Modification Attorney

Going through a divorce can be an emotional and wearisome process. The process of determining child custody arrangement can be equally challenging and the court must make the final decision when two parents cannot agree to an uncontested divorce. If you are seeking to modify your child custody or visitation arrangement, you must be able to prove that there was a significant change in circumstances in order to warrant the modification.
Reasons to Change Your Parenting Plan
California courts place a high emphasis on maintaining stability in child custody arrangements. As a result, the parent seeking the custody modification will have to prove that the new custody arrangement is in the best interest of the child and that the change in circumstances is substantial enough to warrant the change. The child custody lawyers at our firm understand the intricacies of child custody modification and how to prove the significance of your circumstances.
Each of the following are reasons for parents to consider a modification:
-
One parent wishes to move to a new location. If you have joint physical custody with your ex, you likely cannot move more than a certain distance away. You will have to file a petition with the court if you wish to move past those parameters.
-
Cases of domestic violence or child abuse are also grounds for a custody modification. You should always start by filing a restraining order if you notice any signs of abuse. This can prevent the parent from coming within a certain distance from the child for their safety.
-
When one parent loses their job and is forced to drastically change their lifestyle, they may be unfit to provide for their children. If there was a substantial change in circumstance that you believe warrants a change in the terms of your custody, seek the help of an attorney.

What If I Don't Want to Change Custody, but the Other Parent Does?
What often happens is that just one of the parents wants to file a minor or major modification of the custody orders. While you may be happy with the current plan, your child's other parent may not be. If they choose to file for a modification of custody orders, then you cannot necessarily stop them from doing so. What you can do, however, is file for contempt or clarification. Remember, the court will be evaluating what is in the best interest of the child. Our firm can work with you in order to prove that a modification would not be beneficial, if you truly believe that the parenting plan is working fine.
