It should not be very hard. You can try to reach agreement with your Exand it would be good to put it in writing and ask the Court to approve it as a stipulation to modify judgment. If you cannot reach agreement, then you can file a Motion to Amend Judgmenteasiest if more than two years have passed since the last Final Order regarding custody or placement. Retaining a skilled family law attorney can make the task much easier. Good Luck.

As easy as you two can negotiate and agree to the new terms.

If your ex wife is in agreement you could just do this between the two of you, however the written agreement would prevail if the visitation became contentious. You could petition the court for a change in the order to give you flexibility for your job. Once again if the mother agrees this is easier and binding.

If this is simply a change in specific times, I would suggest you first try to negotiate it with the mother and if you come to agreement, enter an agreed amended parenting plan with the court. If you can't come to agreement (and have used your alternative dispute resolution process) then you file for a minor modification.

If your former wife and you can come to an agreement, it would simply require a modified plan, signed and notarized by both of you, be put in the court file.

It depends on your request and her agreement. Settlement and a new order reflecting it is the best option.
