Paternity Petition For Child Support, Visitation & Parenting Plan

You have two alternatives for changing court orders, such as a parenting plan, parenting time schedule, or child support award: agree on modifications with the other parent or seek the court to rule on disputed changes.

In either case, the court will only change orders if certain conditions are met. First and foremost, it must examine whether any changes are in the children’s best interests.

Address anticipated changes when writing your parenting plan to eliminate the need for revisions. Parents of a toddler, for example, can add a fresh timetable for when the child begins kindergarten.
