Tampa Child Custody Modifications Lawyer

What are child custody modifications?

When divorce occurs in families that include children, the child custody process can be a difficult situation in terms of stress, confusion, frustration and disappointment. Family court takes children's well-being very seriously and will thoroughly research all available information about both parents in order to come to a conclusion in terms of who will be assigned parental responsibility and who the children will live with as a primary residence, or if there will be shared physical custody. The court decision that is made after such examination is legally binding and should be followed closely in order to avoid legal action such as being charged with contempt of court.

In cases where the terms of a child custody agreement have been violated, or if one parent seeks to acquire more visitation rights, or even primary custody, then child custody modifications are required. A Tampa child custody attorney can help those interested to gather all pertinent information and make a proper case to modify an existing child custody agreement. Child custody modifications may be sought in situations where the non-custodial parent has proven greater stability in any number of areas, or when the primary caregiver can no longer provide the level of care demonstrated in the initial case.
