Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts
Rights?
I have sole legal and sole physical custody of my children. (He agreed to this arrangement.) However, my ex-husband does have some visitation.
He now wants to change his visitation because it would be more convenient for him.
Since he has no custody rights (legal or otherwise) would a court consider any modification of the agreement from him?

: Rights?
Depending on the age of the children and the history of visitation, a court would consider a modification if it is in the best interests of the children, and there has been a change of circumstances.

Re: Rights?
The court would certainly consider a modification if there has been a material change of circumstances. Legal custody is not the issue in this regard.
Your question is this: if convenience to the ex will create better visitation for your children, and there would be no associated risk of harm or massive expense/inconvenience to you, why should you not see if it works? The focus is on best interest of the children.
