When Can Child Custody Orders Be Modified?
After a divorce is finalized or initial custody arrangements have been finalized, modifications can be made if there has been a substantial change in circumstances. The Pennsylvania courts will modify custody in accordance with what is in the best interest of the child or children involved. Reasons for modification may include:
- Changes in work schedules of either parent
- Children starting school
- Misbehavior of either parent such as criminal charges or an inappropriate significant other
At Palange, Endres & Marks, P.C., we represent clients with a wide range of custody matters, including modifications to orders. We understand that this can be an emotional issue for families and will work diligently to try and reach an agreement.
