Modifications related to child custody, visitation, or support are often evaluated based on the best interests of the child. Courts prioritize the well-being and stability of the child when considering modifications.

Courts may consider the party's compliance with existing court orders when evaluating a modification request. Adherence to previous orders can influence the court's decision.
