A child custody order can be modified if certain circumstances have changed. Child custody modification requests might be granted by the court if the change in circumstances includes any of the following:
- 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
- Adjusting in length or frequency of visits to accommodate a relocation
If you think your situation qualifies and you would like to file a child custody order modification request, contact Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell, LLP to schedule an initial consultation.
