Dutchess County Modifications

If you are seeking to modify your original parenting plan or child support obligation in Dutchess County, there are some important factors that judges will take into consideration. These include:

• Is your child capable of expressing his or her own desires about the modification?

• Does your current job hinder your ability to maintain your original visitation schedule?

• Has your income or the income of the other parent significantly changed?

• Are you or the other parent considering moving to another community out of state?

• Are there any health concerns for the child or either parent that warrant a change?

• Will your child’s educational or social opportunities suffer if the modification is approved?
