A: You can move to modify. You are also entitled to a retroactive change in child support for an agreed-upon change of parenting time.
A:
If your child's father is certain that he wants a long term change in parenting time, and the same is in the best interest of your child, the least expensive and quickest manner to achieve a Court's recognition of the change is to enter into a Stipulation to Modify Parenting Plan and submit the same to the Court for an Order adopting the same, as being in the best interest of the child.
