Why is it so difficult to make a change in custody?Courts follow these principals when determining whether or not to allow custody modifications:
A change in custody can be traumatic for a child and may undermine the stability and continuity a child has come to enjoy and need. A change must clearly be in the child’s best interests. A substantial change in circumstances must have occurred since the last custody determination that warrants the change.Taking the time to engage in thoughtful shared parenting planning does not detract from the goal of a timely divorce process.
