Are you seeking modification of child custody orders in Louisville after the completion of a divorce? Have circumstances substantially changed since the orders were issued? Is one of the parties ignoring portions of an existing child custody and visitation order? How do you apply for changes to existing child custody and visitation orders?
If both parties are in full agreement, the parties may be able to simply submit the proposed changes to the Court who issued the original orders for review and approval. But what happens when the parties are not in agreement? There are several genuine reasons for seeking modification of child custody orders in Louisville and Louisville. The primary thing the Court will be looking for before accepting the case is a substantial change in the “Status Quo.” A few examples include:
- One of the parents wishes to relocate out of the area with a child or the children
- One of the parents is ignoring or refusing to follow part or all of the existing orders
- The development of a problem with alcohol or drug abuse, criminal activity and/or domestic violence
- The neglect of a child or the inability of a parent to provide for a child’s needs
- One of the parents has a new job or has changed the hours/days on which they work
