A child custody attorney may say.

When parents agree on child custody and visitation.
Ideal. If abuse or neglect does not exist, their agreement becomes the parenting plan. Usually issues not raised in court, but agreed upon by parents, is not changed. While not required to be written, it is best it is for future reference. Entered as a stipulation between parties, a written plan can be issued as a court order. It can be used for enforcement later.

Material change of circumstances.
Could be remarriage. Moving out of state, county or province. Chronic illness or disease. Losing a job. Custodial parent's lifestyle changes. Prior the having the case head, proof of change of circumstances is required. The decision is based on the best interests of the child.


Deciding custody and visitation, the factors.
The best interest of the child is the determining factor. "From the viewpoint of the child" is first, not parental desires. Fostering frequent, continuing contact with both parents is most courts view. The parent most supportive of continuing and frequent contact often becomes the custodial parent. The parent attempting to usurp the relationship between the child and the other parent is harshly viewed upon.

For years, custody of our children since the divorce has been with my ex. Now, I want physical custody of them for awhile. How can I obtain a change of custody? Talk to your child custody attorney. You will need to go back to court. You will need to prove a material change of circumstances.

Support is un-paid. Can I stop allowing visitation?
NO. Visitation and support are separate issues.

We do not agree on custody and visitation.
Most states and provinces require both parents who are unable to reach an agreement on the issues of custody and visitation to participate in a mediation session to work out such a plan.

Using expert witnesses.
Judges will often put considerable weight on testimony and written recommendations of experts. Your child custody attorney is the best judge in their use.

I have custody may I claim my child as a dependent?
Generally, yes if you have custody for a greater part of the year. There are exceptions. Ask your attorney for an answer based upon your situation.
