Modification.

In Washington State, modifying existing court orders—in particular, Final Parenting Plans—can be one of the most difficult objectives to accomplish in family law proceedings. Courts are reluctant to change established orders without compelling evidence of a substantial change in circumstances. And they mean substantial. Whether it’s due to a job loss, serious problems emerging in the other parent’s life, relocation of either party, or changes in a child’s needs, you must demonstrate that the modification is necessary and in the best interests of the child or children in your family.

At Marggraf Law, we specialize in managing the complexities of a modification request, and we also help clients who have been served with a petition to modify an order. Marggraf Law will craft a compelling, evidence-based strategy to support your case. Whether you’re seeking a modification or defending against one, we’re here to advocate for your rights and help you achieve the best possible outcome.
