Child custody rights can be modified.
In today's mobile and constantly changing society it is very common that custody rights are modified. Courts recognize that children's desires, wishes or even relationships to parents change over the course of time. Therefore, with the children's best interest in mind, courts are willing to alter custodial rights in order to adapt to new circumstances and living situations. Alternatively, the ex-spouses can voluntarily modify the last court order and come to a mutual agreement about the new custody rights.
