Is your custody or visitation schedule no longer working for you or your child? As long as both parties agree to modify the current custody schedule, you may do so without going to court. It is essential, however, that this modification of the custody schedule be in writing to avoid confusion later on regarding the agreement’s terms or to prevent a finding of contempt for violating the terms of the original contract or order. If the other party will not agree to a mutual modification, then it will be necessary to file a custody action or custody modification petition with the court.
