Embracing Change ∙ Encouraging Stability

While the courts recognize that families and needs change over time, it is believed that there is an inherent need for stability in the initial period following a divorce or legal separation. Therefore, Wisconsin law dictates that any significant modification to a custody order made within two years from the initial court order must be deemed necessary due to the present arrangement being emotionally or physically harmful to the children.

After two years has lapsed, modifications can be made to child custody, child support or other family court orders if there is a substantial change in circumstances and the change is in the best interest of the child/children.

If you would like to discuss your situation with an experienced and caring family law attorney at our Waukesha law firm, contact us to schedule a free initial consultation.
