How to Modify Your Visitation Schedule

Once a parenting time schedule has been created and agreed upon or ordered by the court, it can be changed if a parent has a genuine reason for doing so. Only a significant change in circumstances or a potential threat to the child’s well-being can be grounds for modifications.

Potential reasons for visitation modifications include:

• Relocation for work
• Job loss or promotion resulting in a change to your work schedule
• Illness or injury
• Child request
• One parent is failing to adhere to the current parenting schedule
• Child abuse or neglect

Courts decide modification requests on a case-by-case basis and carefully assess each request. At the heart of a court’s decision is the child’s best interests. If a modification would not be in the child’s best interests, it is unlikely that the court would approve it.
