CustodyMate: I want to have a custody or access order changed, what should I do?
Ontario, Canada - Advice
If you want to change a custody or access order, you should go to court and ask the judge to change it. You will need to show that there has been a change in your circumstances since the order was made, and that it is in the best interests of the child to have the order changed.
If your court order is no longer appropriate, you can have it changed with the other parent’s consent. You can bring a motion to change on consent by filing a Form 15C: Consent Motion to Change with Form 14B: Motion Form. If you cannot agree to the change, you can serve and file Form 15: Motion to Change. Usually, the court will only change a custody or access order where there has been a significant change in the child’s circumstances.
