What constitutes a change of circumstance?

Do you need to change your custody arrangement?  There are a number of reasons that add up to a change that is substantial enough to warrant a change in circumstances.

In order to request a modification, it must be a reason that was not known at the time of the original proceedings.  For example, are you being transferred out of the area because of a job change?  Do you have a change in your living situation that puts your child in a potentially unfavorable situation?

In addition to showing that there has been a significant change that would warrant a modification, the modification must be in the best interests of your child.
