Changing the visitation schedule with your child
The time you spend with your child after a divorce or separation is priceless. However, life circumstances can change, and then there is a need to change the court decision on the visitation order (Parenting Time / Visitation Order). Consultant's lawyers will help you amend the existing order to meet the current needs of your child and your family situation.
When to modify a visitation order: legal grounds
The judicial authorities will only consider a request to modify a visitation order if there are substantial grounds. These include:
- Change of residence of one of the parents.
- A new work schedule that makes it impossible to comply with the old visitation schedule.
- Health problems of the child or one of the parents.
- Failure to comply with an existing order by the other party.
- Cases of violence, addiction, or threats to the child's safety.
We will help you prove to the court that the changes are necessary in the best interests of the child.
How to Apply for a Modification of Visitation Order in the United States
The process of modifying a visitation order consists of several important steps:
- Gathering evidence to support the need for changes.
- Preparing a petition to the court in accordance with the requirements of a particular state.
- Submission of documents and payment of court fees.
- Participation in hearings where you need to justify the reasons for the changes.
- Obtaining a new decision and monitoring its implementation.
Each step is important, so it is better to go through this process with an experienced lawyer.
Arguments for changing the visitation schedule: what the court will consider
The court will first assess whether the requested changes are in the best interests of the child. Arguments in your favor may include:
- A new, more stable situation for the child.
- The child's wishes (depending on age).
- The ability to maintain regular contact with both parents.
- The ability of each parent to provide a comfortable environment.
