Custody modification

Custody modification is a legal process to change the original custody arrangement of a child, typically due to significant changes in circumstances such as a parent’s relocation, job situation, or the child's needs. It involves requesting the court to review and potentially alter existing custody or visitation orders to reflect what is in the best interest of the child. To succeed, the requesting party must prove that the current arrangement is no longer suitable or is harming the child's well-being. The court’s primary focus is ensuring stability and the child's best interests when considering a modification.
