modification of custody is one of the
most challenging aspects when it comes
to the modification a modification of
custody requires that we have a change
in circumstances impacting a parent’s
ability to parent or a change that’s
really going to impact the well-being of
that child and that needs to be a
substantial change from the time that
judgment was entered now parenting time
is easier to modify for parenting time
we’re going to figure out only what’s in
a child’s best interest so that may be
that the facts have remained about the
same in your case but that your child
just grown a little bit older or it may
be that one parent’s ability to parent
has been impacted in one way so
parenting time is really readily
modifiable depending on what’s in the
best interest of your child child
support modifications come down to
whether it’s been a change in financial
circumstances from the entry of that
last order that could be a change in
income one of the parents it could be a
change in the needs of the child but

Financial change and we need that to be

Portland, OR family law attorney Charles Weber talks about when custody, child support, or visitation can be modified. In his legal practice, he recognizes that custody, parenting time, and child support arrangements are subject to modifications following a judgment. He acknowledges the particular challenges associated with modifying custody, emphasizing the necessity of a significant change in circumstances affecting a parent’s ability or the child’s well-being since the initial judgment. Parenting time modifications, on the other hand, are comparatively more manageable, centering around the child’s best interests. Factors like the child’s growth or shifts in a parent’s ability to fulfill their role may come into play. When it comes to child support modifications, he understands that these adjustments are contingent on shifts in financial circumstances, such as changes in income or the child’s needs, since the issuance of the last order. Ultimately, he recognizes that the success of modifications relies on demonstrating a substantial financial change since the previous order.
