Before you file a motion to modify your existing
child custody agreement, there are a few factors
you need to consider.
3
- The Childs Best Interest - The courts will only
consider a child custody change if it can be
established that it is in the childs best
interest.
2. Theres a Waiting Period The courts will only
allow changes to a child custody agreement every
two years.

3. Three Separate Filings You must file separate
modifications for child custody, decision-making
responsibilities, and parenting time. 4. You and
Your Ex Agree If you and your ex are in
agreement on the child custody modifications,
then you can file a stipulation to ask the courts
to modify your existing responsibilities.

5. You and Your Ex Do Not Agree If you and your
ex do not agree on the new modifications to your
child custody, you must file a motion to modify
with the courts.
