You should know that custody of a minor child is NEVER permanent. Whether you mutually decided on your custody arrangement, or a court ordered the custody arrangement, if one parent is not happy with the “status quo” they may request a modification through the legal system. Modification simply means “a change”. There are two types of child custody modification:
1) Major Modification – asking the court to make a big change to your current Parenting Plan. As an example, asking the court to change custody from one parent to another is a major modification.
2) Minor Modification – asking the court to make small changes to the current Parenting Plan. As an example, asking the court to change the dates of holiday visits is a minor modification.
In order to prove that a major or modification is necessary, the parent who is requesting the change must prove that there has been a big change in the child’s life or the life of the other parent since the original Parenting Plan/Custody arrangement was ordered or agreed. This is known as a “material change of circumstances”. In all cases, the court still weighs evidence against what is in the child’s best interests. Minor modification requests are weighed in the same fashion, but somewhat easier to prove and obtain through the courts.
Parents who want to continue to enjoy time with their children must always put their child’s best interest first.

Today, some parents with primary custody of their child/children are actually unfit parents. However, proving this can be difficult. These types of parents are more interested in the financial support a child brings in and/or try to spitefully create some kind of turmoil for the other parent.
ReplyDeleteChildren are a gift from God. They should be a healthy and stable environment. As parents, we must make every effort to set good examples before them.
ReplyDeleteThe courts should always take the child's best interest into consideration and do what's best for the child. This is not always the case in custody cases some parents do things just to be mean or to get at the other parent and that's not right. Parenting is a very important job and it should be taking seriously.
