Modification of Visitation

Long Island Visitation Attorney

Modification of Visitation in Long Island, New York

While a visitation agreement is a legal court ordered arrangement that must be followed and enforced, it can be changed if the circumstances warrant it. You may have been promoted or moved to a different job that has different demands on your time. Your child’s schedule may have changed and therefore your visitation schedule does not work as well as it did. There are various reasons that may warrant a modification of visitation, and a Long Island child custody attorney can review your particular situation in order to determine whether you can request a modification.

An experienced attorney can also guide you through the process of modifying your visitation agreement, as this can be complex and time consuming. It is important to have a legal professional on your side, asserting your rights and representing your position in these cases as well. Specific restrictions and procedures regarding modification of visitation may vary from court to court and jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
