To begin the process of changing your custody order, you will need to fill out the forms for a Petition for Modification of an Order of Custody/Visitation. You can get the forms in the courthouse or you can file a custody or visitation modification petition online through the NY Courts website.
Anyone can file a custody or visitation petition in Family Court. The parent must name the other parent on the petition and explain the reasons why he/she should have custody. Either parent in a custody or visitation petition has the right to an attorney.
If you are staying within New York State, there are no fixed rules about how far away is too far. Typically, custody orders or agreements will limit how far either parent can move away with the child, either in terms of mileage or not leaving a specific city or jurisdiction.
Complete the petition one of three ways: Go to , click the link under that Start heading. Print the petition to modify your child support order. File the petition with the Petition Room at the Family Court.
Only a petition to terminate child support in NY cancels the payments after the court reviews the specific circumstances used as grounds for termination. However, either one of the parents can request a modification to the settlement if there is a docHub change in the earnings of the noncustodial parent.
