Yes, child custody and visitation agreements can be modified if needed to reflect changing circumstances or either one or both parents. Reasons for modifications include:
- Establishing sole physical custody to remove a child from an unsafe home or environment
- Denying visitation to a parent that has a dangerous mental illness
- Denying visitation to a parent that has developed an alcohol or drug problem
- Providing additional visitation to a parent that is recovering from an issue that made them an unfit parent previously
- Making adjustments in frequency or length of visits if a parent relocates
