• Outstanding debts on loans or credit cards

Taking Steps to Help Your Case

Child support and child custody modifications are often initiated due to a change in circumstances. That’s why maintaining and documenting contact with them is essential. If you observe developments that cause you to be concerned, be prepared to demonstrate to the court your active involvement in your children’s lives. If a parent is actively involved with their children, and can demonstrate that involvement – financially and otherwise – the court is more likely to consider their motion than a parent who rarely interacts with their children on any level.
