Is the address a significant change in circumstances?
Case Rating: *
A change of address alone is generally not considered a "significant change in circumstances" for modifying custody or support orders. However, if the move impacts visitation, parenting time, or the child’s well-being, it might qualify. For child support enforcement, the address change is relevant for locating the other parent.
