Post-decree modification is a type of legal recourse that enables a parent to seek the alteration of an existing child custody arrangement. Not all changes in a parent's or child's circumstances will warrant a modification, so it is important to consider your particular options. This is best done with the assistance of an attorney experienced in this particular area, but a good rule of thumb is to determine whether the change in circumstances directly relates to custody and is significant enough to warrant spending the time and money on the modification.

Amending a child custody decree can be difficult, but with the proper resources and legal experience your attorney can approach this matter properly and seek a modification that will help you come to a new arrangement that is better for you and your child. Whether you are a parent seeking to amend a custody arrangement or need assistance in contesting a proposed change by your ex-spouse, a Long Island custody modification attorney can help.
