Re: Modify Custody from Sole to Joint
First of all, custody and parenting time are two very distinct things. Custody is legal decision making. Parenting time is time spent. So, if you want to try and modify, you can do so by filing such an action with the court. The burden is on you to show that there has been a substantial and continuing change of circumstances warrant such a change.
