Change Parenting Plan? Get Free Advice!

Questioner

We have a parenting plan. Mother wants to change it unilaterally, after the first proposal letter she changed it herself with the advice of her lawyer. Joint parental authority, Had a conversation with follow-up with youth care for possible changes due to changes. Now I don't get to see the child at all, I can only agree to supervised contact arrangements. We had a 40-60 arrangement.

Lawyer

In order to change a parenting plan, a request must be filed with the court. This can be either a joint request or a unilateral request. Unilateral request If one of you does not agree with the request, you and your ex-partner must each consult your own lawyer. One of you must then file a petition through a lawyer. The other can then file a statement of defense through the lawyer. The costs for the procedure for a unilateral request will be higher than for a joint request. You cannot share the costs for the lawyer. In addition, you and your ex-partner must each pay court fees. These are the costs for starting a procedure with the court. It is also the case that you still cannot force your ex. If the mother does not comply with the plan, the father must go to court again. The law does not offer more sanctions than before and judges are reluctant to impose them in cases involving children. The bottom line is that the mother who wants to completely remove the child from the father will also succeed under the new legislation. The judge also cannot force you and your wife to consult each other.
