Common Reasons for Child Custody Modification

The following are just a few of the most common reasons for modification of a child custody agreement:

• The child or children have decided they would rather live with the other parent.
• The children would benefit from a change in location or a change in schools.
• The parent who has custody is planning on moving and the child wants to stay in the area.
• The parent with custody remarries and the new spouse or step-siblings are hostile or abusive towards the children.
• The parent with custody begins exhibiting irresponsible behavior and is no longer the best guardian for the child.

Child custody is centered on the wellbeing of innocent children affected by divorce. Because of this, it is important that when situations change that could affect the wellbeing of a youth, child custody agreements are modified accordingly.
