Reasons for Child Custody Modifications

We’ve worked with many individuals who desire to alter various divorce judgments, such as child custody and visitation arrangements or a child support agreement. Most of these requests are due to a parent’s desire to relocate. If a parent wishes to move to another state, relocate for a job, solidify a new relationship, or simply change locations to improve his or her situation, we can handle the court petition and the changes to legal paperwork. Modification requests often come from disputes that arise between the parent with custody and the one without custody or from variations in the custodial parent’s work schedule or, possibly, from the child’s wishes.

As always, the courts will rule in the best interests the child. At Derek A. Pica, PLLC, we vehemently represent your interests in every proceeding, always taking your child’s well-being into consideration.

Child Support Increases or Reductions

If you experience a significant change in your finances (for example, your employment was terminated or you took a job with less pay), you may request a revision to the terms of your child support agreement under Idaho law.

If you are receiving child support and your ex-spouse's financial situation has dramatically improved, you may be eligible for an increase in support.
