Inability to Get Along: Change of Custody?

Recently, the Court of Appeals found that parents’ inability to get along and agree with respect to their children was sufficient grounds to review a custody order.  Constant disagreements between parents that negatively impact children are generally not taken lightly by the court.  As we have previously posted, it is often onerous for a parent to request a modification of custody once it has been established by a court order.  While requesting a change of custody is still very difficult, it is important to document all issues regarding custody or parenting time as they occur.  We highly recommend using e-mail exchanges to provide proof to the court.   If you feel that you have some facts that may justify a change of custody, it is advisable to contact an attorney.
