A time-sharing order can be modified when there is a substantial, material, and unanticipated change in circumstances and the modification is in the child’s best interest. Common triggers include a parent’s relocation, a change in the child’s needs, or a parent’s failure to follow the existing plan.
A parent seeking a change must go through the court rather than simply adjusting the schedule informally. A child custody lawyer in West Palm Beach can evaluate whether the circumstances support a modification and handle the request properly.
