Child Custody Order Modification

When can Child Custody Orders be Modified?
In the state of California, child custody orders may be modified at any time.  However, in order for a parent to seek modification to a court order, he or she must be able to prove that there has been a change in circumstance and the change is impacting the well-being of the child or children.

The following are changes in circumstance that can result in a child custody order being modified by the family courts:

-          A change in residence by one parent

-          Evidence that the child has been abuse by a parent

-          The child wanting decreased visitation with one parent

-          A shift in the child's school schedule
