Modification

A Modification, or Modification of a Parent-Child Relationship, is a lawsuit that seeks to change a provision (or provisions) in the last order or decree in your family law case.

A request to modify your “Possession and Access Schedule” or “Parenting Time” asks the court either to change the amount of time you or your ex-spouse spends with your child or children. The modification process also addresses requests for changes in child support and post-divorce spousal maintenance or spousal support. Generally, there must be substantial cause for the change and proof that the current situation is not maintainable.
