Can I Amend A Parenting Plan?

Sometimes parents may wish to change the parenting plan or separating agreement. Trivial aspects in the parenting plans should be amicably resolved between the parents. If you need help, call a mediator or your family lawyer. Taking trivial matters to Court is time consuming and an expensive affair.

Some Thing That May Require Changing An Agreement

Some aspects may be cause to change a formal parenting agreement:

An increase in the child’s living expenses
A requirement of new medical needs
A requirement for new educational needs
Re-location by either of the parents
Denial of access to the child

Involving The Family Courts

Either parent can apply to the family law Courts to amend the parenting agreement or Court order. A judge will look into the previous agreements, change in circumstances and will decide based on what is in the best interest of your children.

REMEMBER: Parents always need to follow the decision of the judge until any further changes are made.
