Child Custody Modifications in Nassau County

Sometimes custody arrangements no longer work. If you would like to change your child custody order, you may petition the court for a modification. The two basic requirements for filing a modification petition include: 1) modifying the custody order must be in a child’s best interest, and 2) you must demonstrate that a substantial change has occurred.

You may be able to obtain a modification if:

• The medical condition of either parent has changed
• Either parent has a substance abuse problem
• The child’s parent has committed an act of domestic violence
• A parent needs to relocate with a child for employment purposes
• The home the child is living in has become unstable
• The child is suffering from abandonment or neglect
• A child who is over the age of 12 has requested a change

Regardless of your situation, our experienced Nassau modifications attorney can review your case to determine if your arrangement can be modified. If so, we can help you file a petition and represent your child’s best interest in court.

How Are Child Support Orders Modified?

If your or your ex-spouse’s situation has changed, either one of you may be seeking a modification of a child support order.

There are three circumstances under which a court may modify a child support decree, including:

• There has been a substantial change to a parent’s income or the cost of raising a child
• Three years have passed since the order was issued or last modified
• There has been an involuntary change of 15% or more in either parent’s income
