Attach or file a certified copy of the current parenting/custody order that you want to change if it was issued in a different county or state. 5. Expla in why you are filing your request for change with this court: I ask the court to make the changes requested in sections 6 through 12 below, and to approve my proposed Parenting Plan or Residential Schedule that is filed with this Petition . This Petition shows I have valid reasons to ask for these changes. The changes are in the children’s best interest. I am filing this Petition in this county court because (check all that apply): [ ] I live in this county . [ ] the child/ren live in this county . [ ] the other parent (or non -parent custodian) lives in this county. [ ] the parenting/custody order that I want to change is from this county. Note – If you need more space to explain in any of the sections below, you may add more pages to this Petition. Number, date and sign each page that you add . 6. Request for minor change (RCW 26.09.260(5), (7) and (9)) [ ] No request. [ ] I ask the court to adjust the parenting schedule, but not change the person the child lives with most of the time. T he situa tion of the child/ren, a parent, or a non -parent custodian has changed substantially. Reason for minor change (check all that apply): Note – Your reasons must be based on information that you learned about after the current parenting/custody order was issu ed, or if the order was uncontested (issued by default or agreement), your reasons may be based on information that was unknown to the court when the order was issued. CR 4.1; RCW 26.09.181, .260, .270 Mandatory For m (07/2019 ) FL Modify 601 Petition to Change a Parenting/ Custody Order p. 3 of 10 [ ] the current parenting/custody order is difficult to follow because the parent w ho has less residential time with the children has moved. [ ] the current parenting/custody order is difficult to follow because one parent’s work schedule changed and the change was not by his/her choice. [ ] the requested change will affect the child ren’s schedule on fewer than 25 full days a year. [ ] the requested change will impact the children’s schedule on more than 24 full days, but fewer than 90 overnights a year. This change is needed because the current parenting/custody order does not give the children a reasonable amount of time with one parent and it’s in the children’s best interest to have more than 24 full days of increased time with that parent. Are there any limitations on the parent whose time would be increased? [ ] No. The curr ent parenting/custody order does not limit that parent’s time with the children because of abandonment, abuse, domestic violence, sex offense, or other serious problems. [ ] Yes. That parent’s time with the children is limited because of problems listed in the current parenting/custody order. I ask the court to allow that parent more parenting time with the children because the problems that caused the limitations have changed substantially. Explain: Has the parent whose time would be increased com pleted any required evaluations, treatment, or classes? [ ] Does not apply. The current parenting/custody order does not require that parent to complete any evaluations, treatment , or classes. [ ] Yes. That parent has completed all court -ordered eval uations, treatment, or classes. List completed evaluations, treatment, or classes here: 7. Request for major change (RCW 26.09.260(1) and (2)) [ ] No request. [ ] I ask the court to make a major change in the parenting schedule or to change the pe rson the child lives with most of the time. The situation of the child/ren or the other parent (or non -parent custodian) has changed substantially. Reason for major change (check all that apply): Note – Your reasons must be based on information that you l earned about after the current parenting/custody order was issued, or if the order was uncontested (issued by default or agreement), your reasons may be based on information that was unknown to the court when the order was issued. CR 4.1; RCW 26.09.181, .260, .270 Mandatory For m (07/2019 ) FL Modify 601 Petition to Change a Parenting/ Custody Order p. 4 of 10 [ ] the other parent (or non -parent custodian) and I agree with the changes asked for in my proposed Parenting Plan or Residential Schedule . [ ] the children are living in my home now with the other parent’s (or non -parent custodian’s) permission. This is very different than what was ordered in the current parenting/custody order . Explain: [ ] the children’s current living situation is harmful to their physical, mental , or emotional health. It would be better for the children to change the parenting/custody order. Explain: [ ] the other parent (or non -parent custodian) has not followed the court’s parenting/custody order . A court found him/her in contempt for disobeying the parenting schedule more than once in three years, or guilty of custodial interf erence in the first or second degree. (RCW 9A.40.060 or 9A.40.070) Explain: 8. Request for limitations on one parent’s parenting time and decision -making [ ] No request.

But that parent has chosen not to spend any of his/her parenting time with the children for at least one year. I ask the court to adjust the parenting time for the other parent as shown in my proposed Parenting Plan or Residential Schedule .

Request for other changes (RCW 26.09.260(10)) [ ] No request. [ ] Because of a substantial change in one parent’s/child’s situation, I ask the court to adjust the following (check all that apply): [ ] dispute resolution [ ] decision making [ ] transportation arrangements [ ] other (specify): Explain: 10. Child Support (RCW 26.09.170) [ ] No request. I am not asking the court to adjust or change chil d support. [ ] My request to change the parenting schedule affects child support because:  I’m asking to change the parent the children live with most of the time, or  I’m asking for a substantial change in the amount of time the children spend with the pa rent who pays child support. If the court makes my requested changes, I also ask the court to set or change child support. I will file a Financial Declaration and proposed Child Support Worksheets . Warning!
