FAQ

Modification via Mediation Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is a popular avenue for parents trying to arrange or modify custody agreements in California. Through ADR, you could achieve an official, legal custody modification without going to court. ADR is not a custody trial.

In Georgia, custody is determined based on the child's best interests. You and your soon-to-be ex may be able to agree on your own about who has custody and when. However, if the parents can't agree, the court can make the determination about who'll get the kids.

When a parent petitions for modification, child support payments may increase, decrease, or remain the same. A parent may modify child support by making a motion to the court or by requesting the Georgia Division of Child Support Services (DCSS) to investigate and make a recommendation for a support order.

A change in circumstances is when something important in a family's life changes, like when a parent loses their job or gets sick. This can be used in family court to ask for changes to custody or support orders. A modification order is a new court order that changes things like child support or visitation.

A common example involves a situation in which the custodial parent experiences a profound life change that renders appropriately caring for children difficult if not impossible. A parent who develops a serious health condition or an addiction to mind-altering substances presents such an example.

If life circumstances change and the custody order needs to be modified, one party can file a petition to modify custody. To modify custody, they must prove that there has been a material change in circumstances that will impact the child's well-being.

If life circumstances change and the custody order needs to be modified, one party can file a petition to modify custody. To modify custody, they must prove that there has been a material change in circumstances that will impact the child's well-being.

What are the names and ages of the children involved? What are the children's living arrangements? Do the children have any special needs or requirements? What is your current income? Do you have any additional sources of income? What are your monthly expenses related to the children? What is the other parent's income?

If what you're actually asking is if a new pregnancy will prevent you losing custody, the answer is NO! In custody battles, ALL FACTS will be taken into consideration on both sides. The court will then make judgement based on ALL FACTS from both sides, not on one single, one sided fact, such as pregnancy.
