If your custody modification case is uncontested, it could be a relatively easy process, but if both parties aren’t in agreement, you may be in for a tougher time. There are many rules and regulations governing a change in child custody orders, but all of them revolve around what is in the best interests of the child and many involve a material and substantial change in circumstances. This could involve a temporary custody arrangement for a military parent who is actively deployed or a permanent change stemming from domestic or child abuse.
