Change in circumstances

I would think that may be considered a change in circumstance. There are issues with single parent family? Then the other household may be more stable. No knowing the circumstances surrounding this question, I would say to speak with an attorney to see if it’s worth pursuing in court.

Dear mathkittycat:

Greetings. A remarriage alone may not be a substantial change in circumstances. The remaining issues in the other parent’s household, along with the remarriage, may be sufficient to be a substantial change in circumstances.

My suggestion is to speak with an attorney and get the answer directly based on the facts of your situation. Thank you and good luck.

The response posted above is based upon the limited factual information made available and is not intended as a full and complete response to the question. The only reliable manner to obtain complete and adequate legal advice is to consult with an attorney, fully explain your situation, and allow the attorney sufficient opportunity to research the applicable law and facts required to render an accurate opinion. The basic information provided above is intended as a public service but a full discussion with an attorney should be undertaken before taking any action.

Would a remarriage of either parent be considered a change in circumstances that would benefit the child, for example, being able to live with parent and step-parent as opposed to 1 parent, especially if there are issues in the one-parent family?
