Highlight

On appeal, a trial court's denial of an evidentiary hearing on a motion to modify custody is reviewed de novo.
A party seeking a change of child custody is entitled to an evidentiary hearing if the party presents a prima facie case by alleging, with supporting affidavits, sufficient facts which, if proved, would support a change in custody.
Potential endangerment to a child's physical or mental health or a mature child's reasonable preference to live with one parent may be a significant change of circumstances supporting custody change.
A custodial parent's willful and consistent denial or interference with the non-custodial parent's visitation may also be a significant change warranting custody change, if the denial or interference affects the child's best interests.
