Q: How to go about adjusting time share agreement and location of court
Original time sharing case was set up in Brevard county, since both parents now live in Levy county. Order states mother has primary custody and father has visitation. As of October last year oldest child requested to live with his dad full time and visit mom. Mom agreed. We would like to get this changed on the time share but unsure how to go about the changes since we can’t just go down to the court that set the original agreement. Since everyone involved is agreeing to the modifications how can we move forward?
A: To modify the existing Order, you would need to file a Supplemental Petition to Modify, which can be done electronically. If both parties agree, you may sign a Consent Order Modifying the Final Judgment and submit it to the Judicial Assistant for approval. If the court requires a hearing on the Consent Order Modifying the Final Judgment, you can request to appear via Zoom.
A: Whatever you do, first put your new agreement in writing. You can then file the agreement in the court where you both currently live and include a copy of the final judgment from Brevard. You will also need a current UCCJEA affidavit which details where oyu both live now. This form is available online for free. Speak with a local family lawyer for more specific advice.
