Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

It, depends. What are the circumstances of your case? By law, if you want to request a major modification of a parenting plan in Washington, you need to show a significant change of circumstances occurred on the part of the child or the non-requesting parent. That only gets you in the door. From there, you need to explain to the court and convince the court, that your proposed parenting plan is better for the child as compared to whatever their newly changed circumstances are.

In some cases, it's a slam dunk, and easy. In other cases, it's very close in a hard-fought battle ensues. Last, there are many cases where people think they have met the legal standards, but they don't even get through the first door, which is the adequate cause determination hearing, and the case gets shut down very quickly.

Since you don't mention any of the facts of your case, you may consider reposting, telling some basic facts, and then somebody can give you a more informed response. Alternatively, if this is a serious matter that you are either being pursued for or wish to pursue, you would do well to consult with an attorney near you and go from there.
