Re: what is a material change?
Good question! A material change in circumstances is intentionally not defined in the statute. This allows a judge to consider many types of evidence that have a direct bearing on where a child should live, and the other terms of a parenting plan. It also implies that unless a material change of circumstances is shown, no changes in custody details should be granted.
