Walk It Through: The Move to Change Custody
A custody order a year old, a parent who keeps blocking visits, and the two year bar.
A year after the order, the father wants primary residential responsibility because the mother keeps canceling his weekends.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
A motion to change custody within two years of the order. A relocation, a change after the two years, and a child abuse finding are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
