Tampa Attorney for Modification of Child Custody
Any aspect of the custody arrangements and parenting plan can be modified upon proof of a substantial change in circumstances. Either one of the parents can petition the court and the other parent can always object. If the parents reach an agreement out of court, it must be presented to a judge for approval. If they cannot resolve the dispute, a modification hearing is held and the judge can approve, deny or alter the request.
Mr. Koster has handled every scenario of custody modification petitions:
- Sole custody or supervised visitation
- Increased parenting time
- Reversal of primary residence
- Parent relocation
- Changes to the parenting schedule
The substantial change in circumstances may be that one parent has abused the child, lapsed into substance abuse or otherwise neglected or endangered the child. The change may be that one parent has remarried or an older child is going to live with the other parent. It may be simply new work hours or a change in how holidays or summer vacation is handled.
