Child Custody Modifications
In order to change custody in Oregon, a parent must prove a substantial change in circumstances based an any numerous facts. However, this is a high burden in order to protect the stability of the child. A parent may disrupt visitation for the other parent or attempt to alienate you from your child. Sometimes the other parent does something to make you worry about the child’s safety or well-being. This is a very heavy burden for the parent trying to change custody. Trial lawyer Mike Arnold is experienced in defending and proving child custody modification cases.
