Custody arrangements may need to change as families and circumstances evolve. This course provides a practical, step-by-step guide to handling custody modification actions from filing through final order. Learn the legal standard for modification, what constitutes a material change in circumstances, and the strategic considerations before initiating a case. Participants will learn how to draft a Petition for Modification of Custody, an Answer and Counterclaim for Modification, a child's Election Affidavit and the Final Order of Modification. The course also covers temporary hearings, evidence needed to prove a material change, Guardian ad Litem and expert witness considerations, attorney's fees, and jurisdictional issues under the UCCJEA.
