Steps to Modify Parenting Plans & Visitation in West Palm Beach
To modify visitation and/or a parenting plan it is in your best interests to seek the guidance of a reputable lawyer. A lawyer at our firm will be able to discuss your options with you, determine if the request for modification is valid, and help you navigate each step of the process.
After consulting with a lawyer, you will want to complete the necessary paperwork. Be prepared to answer questions, such as:
- What is the substantial, material, and/or unanticipated change that led to this request for a modification?
- What modification are you requesting and how would you like it to be altered?
- How is this modification in the best interests of your child(ren) – if applicable?
The court will take the child’s best interests into consideration first and are hesitant to modify a child custody and/or child support order if doing so could adversely affect the child.
