Packet 4B—Response to a Modification Request
If the other parent asks the court to change the custody, parenting time and/or child support provisions in a Judgment, and you do no agree with ALL the requested changes, you must "Respond" in WRITING by the deadline specified in the "Order to Show Cause" served upon you, typically 30 days. A response allows you to object to the changes and state facts telling the court the reasons you disagree. Some courts may also require a personal appearance in court on a scheduled hearing date which will be listed on the "Order to Show Cause" that is served on you.
