When Modifications to Parenting Plans Are Necessary
Divorce settlements and parenting plans are designed to reflect the circumstances at the time of the divorce. However, as life changes, these arrangements may no longer be suitable. Parents cannot simply change or disregard a court-approved parenting plan; they must seek the approval of a judge to make modifications. If you’re facing this situation, an experienced Tennessee family law attorney can assist you in petitioning the court for the necessary changes. In Knoxville, the Law Office of Lisa Collins Werner is here to help.
Our team understands how important it is to adjust parenting plans when the need arises. We know that unresolved child custody issues can add unnecessary stress to parents who are already managing a lot. That’s why we are dedicated to resolving these matters quickly and smoothly, allowing you to focus on what matters most—your children.
Relocation and Modifications to Parenting Plans
In many cases, parents who divorce may not live far apart, and parenting plans can be simple to maintain. However, life doesn’t always work out that way. If a parent needs to move out of state or more than 50 miles away within Tennessee, it is likely that the original parenting plan will need to be revised.
If one parent is not following the terms of the plan or is engaging in behavior that is not in the best interests of the child, the other parent may need to seek modification through the courts. An experienced attorney is crucial in guiding you through this process, ensuring that your child’s well-being is prioritized. With over 30 years of legal experience, our attorney has built a reputation for being a reliable and effective advocate for clients in family law matters.
