What Is The Legal Standard In Connecticut?
The courts do not like to change custody agreements or support arrangements simply because one parent is unhappy with the results. But there are reasons why they will take a look at things, and that is usually when there is a “substantial change in circumstances.” But what does that really mean?
Our office can help you to understand how Connecticut courts see it. The state needs to know that these changes are material, that you could not anticipate them, and that they are permanent (or indefinite). These changes can happen for a variety of reasons, including employment, additional marriages, or the need for one parent to take care of an elderly member of the family. Constant schedule conflicts due to work can also trigger a need for a modification.
Talk To An Attorney About Your Situation
While it might seem easy to reach out to the other parent to talk things through, there can be some issues with informal agreements. Sometimes, parents try to work things out together, only for one of them to find out that they are left vulnerable. An informal agreement is much more difficult to enforce.
By working with a qualified family law attorney in your city to address your support or custody modification needs, you’ve got a real resource. Schedule a time to talk with our office about what you’re looking to do.
