Legal Question in Family Law in West Virginia
Parenting plan modification
Divorced. I (father) have primary residential and caregiver. Currently 60% father, 40% mother. Mother married and moved across the country. Mother petitioned to modify parenting plan to half the summer and every other christmas for father. Will the court modify the plan to suit the mother. Child's entire family is near the father.

Re: Parenting plan modification
The court will modify the plan, not to suit the mother, but to assure that the child and the mother can maintain a relationship, even after the mother moves.
Usually this will result in about the kind of changes you indicate the mother is requesting.
