Can custody or visitation ever be changed?
Yes, custody or visitation can be modified by an agreement between the parties, or by the Court where the parties have not reached an agreement and one of the parents seeks to modify a prior order. In order to change custody under Virginia law, the court must first determine whether there has been a material change in circumstance since the entry of the court’s most recent custody order, and whether the proposed change in custody is in the best interests of the child.
