Changing parenting plan

Asked almost 5 years ago - Federal Way, WA

If I want to just change the transportation section of my parenting plan do I have to do a complete modification? My ex use to live 3 hrs away, so the drop off/pick up was at a halfway point. Now he lives about 5 blocks from me and refuses to agree to change the pick up/drop off. Can some one tell me if there is an easy way of getting the transportion change without doing a complete modification.

Thanks you.

RCW 26.09.260 allows the family court division of the Superior Court in Washington State to make minor modifications to a parenting plan without having to pass the adequate cause threshold for a complete modification of the parenting plan. Moving closer to the other parent should rarely be a 'substantial change in circumstances' for the child or the non-moving parent.

Hire good local family law counsel and get an adjustment of your plan.

Frankly, this just seems petty, but you'd be amazed at the number of petty and small things people will do after a divorce.

I hope this helps.
