Modifications of Child Custody Orders

When a judge puts down an order for child custody following a divorce, the notion is that will be the order until the minor child or children reach the age of 18.  More often than not, circumstances will change during that potentially 18 years period until the child becomes an adult.  When these changes occur, it may become necessary to modify the current custody order.  This is done in order to provide for what is in the child's/children's best interests.  In order to establish the necessary basis for such a modification, the courts require that a material change in circumstance has arisen.  Some changes may be obvious, such as a parent having to relocate due to employment, however it is not always as clear.  If you are seeking to modify your existing child custody order, then let The Law Offices of Andrew E.
