Does remarriage affect custody?

Does remarriage affect custody?

While the act of remarrying does not in itself impact a parent’s custody rights over their child or children, if the remarriage is not in the best interest of the child, and a party files to modify custody, the court may decide to make custody decisions to best protect the children.

Can custody orders be changed?

As we all know, those circumstances can change. Once Parenting Orders are made by the court they cannot be changed unless both parties consent to the change or the court determines it is appropriate to change the Order.

Why would a judge change a custody order?

If you can demonstrate to the court that the child’s needs have changed, you may have grounds for a custody modification. If a child develops a mental, emotional, or physical disorder, and one parent is better suited to care for the child, that could also provide a reason for a judge to change custody.

Why do lawyers hire private investigators?
