CHANGING COURT ORDERS & AGREEMENTS
- Circumstances over time may change resulting in a former spouse or partner seeking to vary their initial Court order or separation agreement. A prerequisite to seeking a modification is that a significant change since the making of the original order or agreement has occurred. Once that hurdle is met a determination must be made as to whether the change requested is justified.
- Variations may be sought for many reasons:
- Substantial changes in income
- A parent may wish to re-locate a substantial distance away from the access parent or move out of province
- The children may be older and the prior custody, access or support arrangements may no longer be suitable
- Other circumstances may have arisen that affects the former spouses ability to pay support, parent or spend time with the children
- New relationships of one or both of the former spouses may be a reason for variation
