Portland, OR family law attorney Charles Weber talks about when custody, child support, or visitation can be modified. In his legal practice, he recognizes that custody, parenting time, and child support arrangements are subject to modifications following a judgment. He acknowledges the particular challenges associated with modifying custody, emphasizing the necessity of a significant change in circumstances affecting a parent’s ability or the child’s well-being since the initial judgment. Parenting time modifications, on the other hand, are comparatively more manageable, centering around the child’s best interests. Factors like the child’s growth or shifts in a parent’s ability to fulfill their role may come into play. When it comes to child support modifications, he understands that these adjustments are contingent on shifts in financial circumstances, such as changes in income or the child’s needs, since the issuance of the last order. Ultimately, he recognizes that the success of modifications relies on demonstrating a substantial financial change since the previous order.
