Re: divorced for 10 years
File a Supplemental Petition to Modify Primary Timeshare. Beware, though. In order to change custody, you need a lot more than your daughter's desire to switch houses. You need to prove that circumstances have changed substantially and unexpectedly such that, if your daughter stays with her father, it would be tantamount to abuse or neglect.
