When Can Custody Orders Be Modified In Riverside County?
California courts will only consider alterations when there is proof of a significant change in circumstances that affects the child’s well-being, as judges always put the best interests of the child first. Valid reasons to request a custody modification in Riverside County include:
- One parent is relocating out of town or state
- The child’s emotional, educational or medical needs have changed
- Concerns about abuse, neglect or an unsafe environment
- A parent’s job schedule has changed drastically
- One parent is not following the current custody plan
Even if the issue seems obvious, you must still follow the proper legal process and prove the need for change. That is why it is important to work with a lawyer who knows how to present your case with a strong argument and documentation.
Understanding California’s Modification Process
