Re: child custody modification

A modification takes however long there is disagreement. When an agreement is submitted to the court, then there is immediate resolution. When there is not agreement, then the case can take as long as until the court forces the parties to a final hearing. In the interim, there can be temporary orders which affect cconservatorship and visitation. It is not unusual to use temporary orders to effect a necessary change in residence.
