While the court is not required to defer to your son's choice, he is of an age where his choice will be taken into consideration.

A Court is REQUIRED to consider the desires of the child, but it is ONLY one factor of many.

Do you WANT the modification? Or are you RESISTING.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
