Is It Possible to Reverse a Custodial Plan with a Child Custody Lawyer?

This would depend on your specific circumstances. If the other parent has been awarded sole custody, then this is extremely difficult to reverse. You may be able to appeal the decision to the Oregon Court of Appeals but only if done quickly after the court’s order. Also, filing an appeal is a specific and complex area of the law. You should definitely seek the assistance of an experienced appeals lawyer before considering an appeal. An appeal is only available for a short period of time after the Order is entered.  You need to act immediately to take advantage of the appeals system. Additionally, if you are seeking a modification of a custodial arrangement, there must have been a substantial change in circumstances. This is because this would disrupt the child’s living situation and the court wants to avoid this unless there has been a substantial change in circumstances to justify the change. If changes in custody are not likely based on the facts of your case, you may be able to seek increased parenting time as an alternative. These are important matters that should be discussed with a child custody attorney.
