Can a custody arrangement ever be changed?

If your child custody arrangement is spelled out in a legally binding agreement or court order, it is possible but very difficult to change it. You will need convincing evidence that:

• Your family’s circumstances have changed significantly since the divorce was granted
• A failure to change the current custody plan will create a detriment to your child

Courts are usually reluctant to change child custody agreements based on the belief that children need stable homes. If your family’s custody arrangement is unjust or causing harm to your child, an experienced Orlando divorce lawyer can provide the facts and efficient representation you need to make changes.
