If you are a divorced parent who would like to change, modify, or otherwise alter your child visitation agreement, you have several options at your disposal. Even if you have never had a child visitation order and you would like to begin the process of having one drawn up, the paperwork and time required is probably not as extensive as you would assume. The first step of the process involves finding and reviewing your current custody documentation and child visitation agreement. Pinpoint the item or items that you would like have changed and make copies of all applicable paperwork. Next, talk to your former spouse about the proposed change. The process will be much simpler and will likely have a more speedy resolution if you are able to convince them to agree to your changes. Finally, contact a representative of your local custody court and ask about the paperwork that is necessary to initiate a child visitation petition. After you return the completed documentation, the court officials will inform you of any additional information that is needed to complete the process.
