Q: Do I need a attorney to file for a change of custodial parent if my daughter is 14 year old?
A:
It is best to contact an attorney who can assist you with the specifics of your case. The court will have to officially change the order.
We are glad to assist you. Contact us whenever you are ready.
I wish you well.

A: It is definitely recommended that you have an attorney when attempting to modify custody. The court does not have to accept the 14 year old's election if there is a showing that it is not in the child's best interest.
