- Q. 50-50 custody, ex just packed up our 12-yr-old's belongings and told me to come pick her up, which I did. Do I need to
- A: If your child's father is certain that he wants a long term change in parenting time, and the same is in the best interest of your child, the least expensive and quickest manner to achieve a Court's recognition of the change is to enter into a Stipulation to Modify Parenting Plan and submit the same to the Court for an Order adopting the same, as being in the best interest of the child.
You may have to weigh whether to seek a change in child support, and if so, now or at a later date.

Your spouse would have a claim to an equitable portion of the ... Read More
