Can I modify my child custody order?

If you want to modify your child custody order, only certain circumstances will allow you to do that. Reasons that a child custody and visitation modification might be granted include:

  • Establishing sole physical custody to remove children from an unsafe home environment
  • Denying visitation to a parent who has developed a drug or alcohol problem or a dangerous mental illness
  • Providing additional supervised or unsupervised visitation to a parent who is recovering from an issue that previously made them an unfit parent
  • Making adjustments in length or frequency of visits to accommodate a relocation
