Visitation Modification
In a child custody case, the Family Court issues child custody orders that determine custody arrangements for the child or children. These custody arrangements can be set by a custody agreement between the parents or by a court order. This could be joint custody, where it is shared between two parties, or primary custody, where the children stay with one parent full-time. Most primary custody examples also have visitation rights for the other parent, so long as it is in the child’s interest to spend time with them. Important decisions like this may need to change down the line as family circumstances change. A substantial change in circumstances is often required to modify child custody or an existing court order, and this is where visitation modification comes in.
Your local experts, advocating your case
A child’s parent or legal guardian can file a motion to modify an existing child custody or visitation order. The motion must explain why the requested custody or visitation modification is in the child’s best interest. The judge will review the request, considering the child’s views, their relationship with each parent, and the child’s overall wellbeing. Proper procedures, including payment of the required filing fee, must be followed when submitting the motion. Palmer Litigation has extensive experience in child custody cases and visitation modification. Our team carefully manages every step of the process to help the court make the best decision for your child. If the custody modification is contested, the court may schedule a final hearing to resolve the dispute.
