Portland, OR family law attorney Charles Weber talks about when custody, child support, or visitation can be modified. He explains that custody, parenting time, and child support can each be modified at different points after a judgment has been entered. Modifying custody is often the most challenging, as it requires a substantial change in circumstances that affects a parent’s ability to care for the child or significantly impacts the child’s well-being compared to the time the original judgment was issued.

Parenting time, by contrast, is generally easier to modify. Adjustments are made with the child’s best interests in mind, which can reflect changes such as the child growing older or alterations in a parent’s ability to care for the child.

Modifications to child support hinge on changes in financial circumstances since the prior order. This could include a change in a parent’s income or shifts in the child’s financial needs. Ultimately, the focus is on ensuring that the child’s support reflects current circumstances.
