Modification of Custody or Support
Life is full of unexpected turns. Whether you're facing a job change, relocation, a new relationship, or a significant shift in your child's needs, it's crucial to understand how these changes may impact your existing child custody or support arrangements.
When to Consider Modification:
- Relocation: Moving to a new city or state can significantly impact visitation schedules and require adjustments to support agreements.
- Change in Income: A substantial increase or decrease in income for either parent may necessitate a review of child support obligations.
- Child's Needs: As children grow, their needs evolve. This may include increased expenses for education, extracurricular activities, or medical care.
- Parent's Circumstances: A serious illness, disability, or return to school can impact a parent's ability to fulfill their existing obligations.
- Child's Well-Being: If the current custody arrangement is no longer in the best interests of the child due to factors like abuse, neglect, or a significant change in the child's emotional or developmental needs, modification may be necessary.
