The needs of parents and children change over time. As children grow, it is not unusual to need to make adjustments to the original custody order. If you are the parent requesting the change, you must prove that the need for modification is for the benefit of your child. Representation from a knowledgeable family law attorney can improve your chances of obtaining the modification.

Initial child custody orders are determined by what is in the best interest of the child. This rule applies during custody modifications as well. Modifying a custody order requires a significant change in circumstances for at least one of the parties. Some of the most common reasons modifications are granted include:
- The death of the primary parent
- A change in the health of a parent or child
- A job loss
- Parental relocation
- A parent in jail or prison
- A parent with a substance abuse problem
- Domestic violence
In addition to modifications, we can also assist you with enforcement of child custody orders. If the other parent is not following the court-ordered custody agreement, we can charge him or her with contempt.
