Washington law allows a parenting plan to be modified when circumstances have changed enough to justify a new look at custody or residential time. Not every change qualifies, and the standard depends on what you are asking to modify.

Dellino Family Law Group helps clients navigate:

  • Major Modifications: Changing the primary residential parent or adjusting residential time by 24 or more days a year.
  • Minor Modifications: Adjustments affecting fewer than 25 days or 90 overnights a year.
  • Adequate Cause: Showing the court a legitimate basis for modification, such as relocation, safety concerns, or a parent's changed circumstances.

Washington courts look closely at what has changed since your last order and whether that change affects your child's wellbeing. Schedule your confidential consultation with Dellino Family Law Group today.
