When couples first get married, they think they will be married forever. They start planning their future together. They buy a house, a car, and then the first child is born.
Everything is going along well; all are happy. All of a sudden, without any notice, the wife wants a divorce. They actually agree to everything, even joint custody of their child. Years pass by and a new boyfriend comes to live with the ex-wife and her child. The former husband does not approve and decides to seek a transfer of custody.
The former husband must petition the court for the change. He must show evidence that a change has occurred and it would be in the best interests of the child if custody was modified. The court will review the evidence and make a decision after looking at all factors very closely.
If you are looking to change the original court-ordered custody arrangements, contact an experienced Orange County Family Law attorney who will evaluate every possible alternative and explain your options and the advantages and disadvantages of each so you can resolve family issues for the best possible resolution.
