Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

shared physical custody

I am wondering just what is involved in getting shared physical custody of my son. My ex-wife and I have shared legal and she had phsical. I am intending on modifying the visitation to allow him to spend more time with me. If I have him all summer all vacations and most weekends would that allow me to have shared physical?

Re: shared physical custody

What is involved is that you would have to file a complaint for modification of the existing custody order in the Probate and Family Court that made the Order and prove there has been a material change in circumstances since it was made, which may or may not be made easier by you and your ex spouse agreeing to greater visitation by you, but might be made easier were she willing to assent to the modification.
