Turner Law Offices, P.C. Announces New Standard on Permanent Parent Plan Modification
Divorce can be a messy situation in the best of times, but when the parents have children, the divorce process can become especially difficult. In most cases, both parents are fighting to be the primary residential parent of the child, and the other parent is the alternate residential parent with a set residential schedule with the child; this “custody and visitation” arrangement is a legally binding schedule setting forth when each parent is entitled to have the children. However, as time passes and situations change, this residential schedule could become detrimental to the best interest of the minor children as a result of change of circumstances and unforeseen issues. Until now, changing a residential schedule had proven difficult to accomplish, requiring a high standard showing of a material change of circumstances.
