Legal Question in Family Law in New York
petitioning to change joint custody agreement in ny
In NY, if petitioning to change a custody decree (in which both parents equally share 50/50 legal and physical custody), must the same county court be petitioned as the the decree was issued in or if the petitioning parent intends to reside in a different county, may that county's court be petitioned? How difficult is it to petition the court for a change in residence which would exceed the originally established radius by 50 miles, if the changes in circumstances involve the marraige of the petitioning parent and the birth of a sibling? thank you
