How can I change an existing court order for custody and/or visitation?
In order to change an existing court order already filed in Tioga County you must file a Petition for Modification of Custody/Visitation. Our website offers a Self-Help Modification of Custody/Visitation Kit. The filing, service and conference for the Petition are the same as for the Custody/Visitation Complaint mentioned above. The filing fee for the Petition for Modification depends on if the fees were paid at the time of filing the initial Custody/Visitation Complaint. If the fees were paid at the initial filing then there is no charge for the Petition for Modification. However, if the initial filing fee was not paid then the filing fee is $106.50. If you are unsure of whether you had paid the initial filing fee, please contact the Tioga County Prothonotarys Office at (570) 724-9281.
