I cannot answer this question as it applies to all jurisdictions, but I can answer it as it applies to the jurisdiction where I practice family law (Utah):
Merely because you are not happy with it? No.
But if 1) you are not happy with the child custody and/or parent-time arrangement(3), 2) your co-parent will not agree to make the changes you desire, and 3) you have legally compelling reasons for seeking a change by:
- a showing of a substantial and material change in circumstances since the entry of the child custody order; and/or
- a change in circumstances since the entry of the parent-time order.
(Utah Code Section 81-9-208(1))
then you can petition the court to modify the child custody and/or parent-time arrangement(s), if you can show that a modification is in the best interest of the child.
