Do You Need to Change Your Custody Arrangement?
Child custody is often the most contentious issue in every divorce. Even when divorcing parents think they have everything worked out and are comfortable with the original custody and visitation settlement, problems frequently arise. Often, informal visitation schedules and custody issues can be worked out amicably between parents, but a formal change requires a legal action.
