What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
I am wondering what the possible grounds for changing parenting time are? My daughter is three and my ex and I have joint custody, with me having sole decision making rights. Currently, my ex has supervised visitation for a few hours a month, and once she completes her court-ordered counseling and parenting classes, she will have our daughter every other weekend and split holidays. However, now that she is close to completing her requirements for non-supervised visitation, she has told me that she is going to take me back to court to have our daughter live primarily with her. Will the court change the parenting agreement simply because she has changed her mind about how much parenting time she wants when she gets non-supervised visitation? Our current order was agreed to by both of us and signed by a judge. Currently, there have been no changes in circumstance for either of us, though our daughter will be starting preschool in September.
I work full-time and my daughter stays with her step-mom while I am at work. My ex has another child that she receives welfare for, and since my daughter is a Native American tribal member (through me) she would receive housing and other extensive benefits should our daughter live with her full-time. She is also partially supported by her live-in boyfriend, who is the reason CPS removed our daughter from her home in the first place (he is also completing court requirements to get custody of his children back). Ex has told me more than once that she is going to quit her job to be a full-time mom to our daughter, which is entirely feasible since she would receive quite a bit in child support should our daughter live with her. So would the court change the parenting time if my ex is unemployed and can spend more time with our daughter? I have provided a stable, loving home, while my ex has stayed in an abusive relationship, had yet another child that she can't support on her own, and moved approx. eight times in a year and a half. She also has no contact with any of her family due to her compulsive lying.
Sorry this is so long but I am not sure which details may make a difference. Thanks in advance for any answers you may have.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
