Are 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.
