When Can Child Custody Modifications Be Requested?
Courts allow parents to adjust custody arrangements after a divorce when circumstances impact the child’s well-being. These changes are allowed in situations such as:
- Changes in the child’s needs or wishes
- Substantial changes in a parent’s work schedule
- Concerns about the child’s safety
- Major changes in either parent’s living situation (e.g. relocation)
Before a court rules on custody, they carefully consider how the proposed changes will impact the child’s life. As your child custody attorney, I’ll build a case that shows how the new custody plan benefits your child.
FAQs: Seeking To Modify Child Custody
Below are some common questions parents ask about custody modifications.
How difficult is it to modify child custody in Georgia?
Changing child custody can be challenging. You must prove that your child’s life has changed so that the current custody arrangement is no longer in their best interests. I can help show the court that your child may benefit from a revised custody arrangement.
What does it take to effectively modify child custody?
You need to show a significant change in circumstances since the last custody order. This process involves gathering evidence to prove the proposed changes warrant court approval.
Are there situations where emergency modifications are possible?
Yes, if your child is in immediate danger, emergency changes are possible. This could be abuse, neglect or a parent’s sudden inability to care for your child.
