Can I modify a previous order regarding custody, visitation, and child support?
In order to modify an existing order, a material change of circumstance must have occurred since the signing of the order. A material change can be anything that substantially affects the child. Note that in custody cases, parties seeking to change the custodial parent within one year of the original order must provide an affidavit alleging: the child’s present environment significantly endangers the child, OR custodial parent is seeking or consents to the modification, OR custodial parent has voluntarily relinquished possession of the child for at least six months.
