I’ve been asked if a court-ordered custody order can be changed.
Changing custody orders can be important to ensure that both parents uphold their parental obligations – as well as allowing the child the opportunity to have both parents involved in his or her life. The involvement of both parents is crucial to providing a well-rounded and emotionally stable environment for your child.
Modifying your custody orders can be agreed upon by both parents or legally by an outside party, such as a judge. A modification is usually handled on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes a temporary order may be necessary in the event of a medical emergency. In addition, a permanent order can be implanted if one parent has lost their job or taken ill.
In many instances, a change in a custody order will fall hand-in-hand with a change to child support as well.
In the event that a modification needs to be made to a child custody order, it is important that you work with an attorney who can aggressively represent you. Family law issues are often complicated and filled with stress.
