What is the biggest mistake in a custody battle?

The inability of parents to consistently control their emotions, and avoid emotional decision making, is the most common mistake we see in child custody cases. The reason: it is such an easy mistake to make, and so pervasive in all aspects of the case.

How to win a custody modification case?

A Motion to Modify requires that there be a showing of a material and continuing change in circumstances for either the parent that has physical custody or the minor child (in custody case), or a showing that child support would be raised or lowered by 20%. I just dont like the previous Orders does not cut it.

How often can you modify child custody in California?

In California, you can modify a child custody agreement at any time. However, just because a parent requests changes doesnt mean a judge will accept them. It must be deemed necessary or otherwise in the childs best interest for a request to be received.

How to get a custody agreement modified?

You can petition to modify child custody. You will have to justify why it is in the childs best interest to change the existing order. This means going back to court for a hearing. Except for emergencies, most jurisdictions will limit how often you can ask for custody modifications.

What is the most common shared custody arrangement?

The most common co-parenting 50/50 plans include 2-2-3, 3-4-4-3, 2-2-5-5, and alternating weeks. However, some more uncommon arrangements also exist, like alternating custody every two weeks.

What are some common issues to arise within custody arrangements?

Disputes may arise over the type of custody (sole or joint), visitation schedules, decision-making authority, or even relocation. These disagreements can escalate quickly, leading to prolonged legal battles that affect both parents and the child.

What is the most important underlying principle of custody agreements?

Parents can share both types of custody equally, but it is not uncommon for one parent to have primary physical custody, becoming the custodial parent, while the parents share joint legal custody. At the heart of child custody disputes is one underlying principle: the childs best interests are paramount.

What are custodial issues?

These include decisions regarding the childs education, health, religion/religious training, and welfare. During mediation, both parents can explain their preferences and goals for the childs upbringing, and work toward solutions that benefit the childs well-being.
