Child Custody Modifications

Sometimes after a divorce, problems arise with the parental rights and duties, visitation, possession and access of the children. Whether the needs of the children have changed or one parent has become a bad actor, Hoppes & Cutrer have the experience to guide you through the process of modifying the parenting plan.

Custody battles can have devastating and lasting effects on the children as well as the parents and extended family members. We help our clients identify the problems and work with them to fashion a modified arrangement that resolves the issues and keep the best interest of the children in mind. Often this requires the assistance of outside resources such as home studies, counseling, and court services. Hoppes & Cutrer will guide you toward which services will best meet your needs based on the specific circumstances of your case.

Sometimes the only alternative is a battle in court. Our attorneys have the trial skills necessary to zealously advocate your case in court. However, in our years of experience, we have found most clients are happier with a result they work out over a decision that is imposed by the court. Because family matters at Hoppes & Cutrer, we encourage our clients to consider mediation and collaboration as alternative dispute resolution venues. These alternative dispute resolution options minimize the trauma to the children and empower you to control the outcome of your case.
