Modified Custody Agreement

"I need a Modified Custody Agreement to reflect changes in residence arrangements as I'm relocating to Manchester for work in March 2025, which will affect the existing weekend contact schedule with my two children aged 8 and 12."

Document background
The Modified Custody Agreement is utilized when existing custody arrangements require significant changes due to altered circumstances such as relocation, changes in work patterns, or evolving family situations. This document, governed by English and Welsh law, provides a comprehensive framework for adjusting custody terms while ensuring compliance with the Children Act 1989 and related legislation. It typically includes detailed provisions for residence, contact schedules, decision-making authority, and financial responsibilities. The agreement must prioritize the child's best interests and can be used either as a privately agreed document or as part of court proceedings.
