The Basics

What Is a Modification?

In Georgia, modifying child custody and support means legally changing an existing court order due to significant changes in circumstances. This can involve adjusting custody arrangements, visitation schedules, or child support amounts. The goal is to keep the order aligned with your family's current reality and your child's best interests.

What the Court Requires

The Change in Circumstances Standard

The process requires showing the court that a substantial and material change in circumstances has occurred since the original order. Common examples include changes in income, a relocation, or shifts in the child's needs. Meeting this standard is essential, and strong preparation makes a real difference in the outcome.
