A Petition to Modify a custody order may be filed with the Prothonotarys Office in Luzerne County after a custody order has been issued by the family court. Custodial parties may informally create agreements that are different than the original child custody order.
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.
Petition for Modification of a Custody Order If parents mutually agree on a modification of custody orders, they can both sign and submit the new custody agreement. However, if parents do not agree on a modification, either party may file a motion with the court that granted the initial custody order.
Modification via Mediation Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a popular avenue for parents trying to arrange or modify custody agreements in California. Through ADR, you could achieve an official, legal custody modification without going to court. ADR is not a custody trial.
There are a few steps in seeking a court order: You must use the proper form in the same court of jurisdiction as your original custody agreement. You must attach a written list of proposed modifications. You must show how these modifications are best for your childs health and welfare.
