A: Since there is a 50/50 custody orders in place and due to change of circumstances, the court will look at the best interest of your daughter and not necessarily yours. The court's will look at your daughter's age and her ties to the school, etc. Before making any changes, consider the elements that the court will consider. I suggest that you seek an advice of an attorney and discuss your case in detail for specific answers. Best wishes!
