How do I change custody, access, child support, or spousal support?
The Divorce Act allows spouses to vary custody, access, child support, and spousal support if there is a significant change in circumstances. Your first step should be to approach your former spouse and try to reach agreement. If you can agree on a change, you should put the change in writing. Review your separation agreement as some agreements have a section dealing with how to make changes. If there is nothing like that in your separation agreement, you will need to put what you’ve agreed to in writing. Both former spouses should then sign it, date it, and have an adult witness each former spouse’s signature and sign to show that they witnesses it. You should both get legal advice before signing anything.
