What qualifies as a ‘material change of circumstances’?
This could be the remarriage of one of the parties. Another is that the custodial parent wants to leave the state. One more is a change of health (such as a progressively chronic illness or disease) or economic circumstances (such as losing a job) that will effect the child. Finally, a change in the custodial parent's lifestyle -- such as working nights -- might merit a change. Proving the change of circumstances is a prerequisite to having the case heard. The court will still decide this question based on the best interests of the child.
