Did you find this information helpful?
back to topAre the laws for modifying a custody order the
same in each state?
No. The law for MA may be different than the laws for
the rest of the states. The following questions in this is section address the
laws in the rest of the states. The
information below talks about the situation when you have a final child custody
order from a state you used to live in, but now you have moved to a new state
and you want to try to modify (change) the order in your new state’s
court. The information provided is based
on a law called the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act
(UCCJEA), which has been adopted (followed) by every state except for MA. MA currently follows an older law called the
Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act (UCCJA), and the rules that we describe
in the questions below may be slightly different if you live in one of those
states. Please feel free to write to our
Email Hotline with any related questions.
