Generally speaking, unless there is some sort of emergency situation, parenting time and custody orders cannot be changed for one year after the prior orders were entered. Further, regardless of how much time has passed, there must be some sort of change of circumstances to justify the modification.

It depends on the circumstances at issue. If there is an emergency, you can consider filing immediately. Otherwise the timeframe is usually a year after custody orders are entered.
