Q: Help with family law, i have an existing custody and visitation court order since 2009. How do I do a modification?
I moved out of state and have requested to see my child multiple times but the mother refused, Judge suggested mediation but it still didnt work due to the mother using the child as a pawn. How do I request modification and uninterupted telephone and visitation access to my child? I also need a strong Attorney to help get my fathers right to my child
A: Assuming you are a good parent, the court would likely enforce and perhaps modify your time with your child now that you have moved out of state and the existing schedule is no longer practical. You will need to bring a Motion to be heard by a judge to make those changes.
A: If your current parenting time order was based on you living in state, then you likely will need to seek a modification of the parenting time so that it is a better fit for your current circumstances. You can seek a modification of parenting time by bringing a motion. A child deserves to have the benefit of a healthy, stable relationship with both parents.
