Can I Modify a Child Custody or Support Order?

Yes, child custody or support orders can be modified under certain circumstances. Life is unpredictable, and situations may arise that necessitate a change in an existing order. This could include a substantial change in a parent's income, relocation, the child's needs, or other major life events. It's important to understand, however, that the court will only consider a modification if it is in the child's best interest.

There are several steps involved in the process of modifying a child custody or support order:

• Filing a petition: The parent seeking the modification must file a petition with the court. This document outlines the reasons for the requested change and should be supported by evidence.
• Serving the other parent: The other parent must be served with a copy of the petition and be allowed to respond.
• Court hearing: Both parents can present their case in a court hearing. The judge will review all evidence and arguments before making a decision.

At Edwards & Petersen | PLC, we are experienced in assisting clients with child custody and support modifications. We understand that circumstances change, and we're here to help ensure your child's best interests are always put first. We will guide you through every step of the process, providing the expertise and compassion you need in this challenging time.
