Child time sharing issues can be a tricky thing during parts of the year, especially during the holidays when family time is important with each parent. When you have kids, deciding who has more access to them can be a stressful situation, especially when it’s supposed to stay permanent. However, modifications are a common occurrence when it comes to child custody. Things can sometimes change due to circumstances of the parents. Other times it might be by request of the children who want more access to another parent.
Around the holidays, this might create discord between you and your own spouse, especially if you aren’t on good terms with one another. That’s when it’s time to file for modifications with our help here at Hackworth Law Firm.
Dealing with Modifications for Temporary Situations
If we’ve handled your divorce before, we’re available to help you again on modifying child custody agreements that were put into place perhaps earlier this year. Now that the holidays are here, what happens if your child requests to be with you more often, or perhaps the other parent? Since children are of the center of importance in child time sharing, a filed modification request will be taken seriously.
We’ll help you through the Child Time Sharing Issues process, and it’s going to mean meeting with a judge with your former spouse to work out a modification plan. Yet, it’s possible your former spouse may not go along with the idea your child wants to spend more time with you during the holidays, and perhaps beyond.
A judge is going to weigh all the options based on evidence, plus taking the child’s welfare to heart. The judge will decide just how much you or the other parent would bring the most benefit to the child on a psychological and financial basis. When you can prove you’re better able to give the child a better upbringing, then a modification could very well be granted.
These modifications can sometimes be temporary depending on circumstances like the holidays or perhaps because the other parent wouldn’t be available for a while to give attention to your children.
Whatever the situation is, we’ll be there to provide solid evidence proving your side. We’re also hear to listen to your child’s point of view and compellingly show to the court what’s truly right for them.
Contact us here at Hackworth Law Firm so we can help you with any child custody modifications through the remainder of the holiday season. We want your family to have peace during this time of year so your child can grow up within a healthy atmosphere.
