There are numerous circumstances in which agreed-upon or required Child Custody Arrangements may alter. It is recommended to evaluate child custody status on a regular basis to ensure that the arrangements continue to represent what is best for the impacted children.

Problems with child conduct
Decision of one or both parents to move

Wishes of the individuals concerned
Courts do not alter custody arrangements carelessly, but they are willing to do so if it is in the best interests of the children concerned. Individuals wanting court-ordered changes to current Child Custody Arrangements must submit custody amendment papers outlining the reasons for the request as well as the suggested answer.
Parents who reach an agreement on custody change conditions are not required to pursue legal counsel through the judicial system. In such cases, the new conditions should be written down for simplicity of compliance. Verbal commitments can be challenging to implement, if not impossible.
Child Custody Legal Forms are widely available online. All parties concerned benefit from clearly recording agreements on state custody documents that have been evaluated by lawyers.
