Modification of Visitation in Long Island, New York

While a visitation agreement is a legal court ordered arrangement that must be followed and enforced, it can be changed if the circumstances warrant it. You may have been promoted or moved to a different job that has different demands on your time. Your child’s schedule may have changed and therefore your visitation schedule does not work as well as it did.
