A Substantial Change in Circumstances

Any change in a custody or parenting plan is subject to the court's approval. You cannot request a change in custody because you would like a break or wish to have more free time. The law requires that you show that there has been a substantial change in circumstances in your life; for example, you may need to move away for one reason or another. Even if you can prove your circumstances have substantially changed, the change must still be in the best interests of the child.

At DeBast, McFarland & Richardson, LLP, our Portland divorce attorneys have the skill and knowledge you need to seek a change in a custody or parenting plan. We know what requirements the court demands and we can help you meet them. In every case, we will handle your matter with sensitivity and understanding as we work toward a resolution that meets everyone's needs.
