Amber Portwood is requesting overnight visits with her son James

In court papers exclusively obtained by The Sun, the star filed a petition to modify parenting time, claiming there has been a “change in circumstances” that “warrant” a change to their custody agreement. 

She claimed that according to Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, parenting time is increased to include overnights when the child turns 3. 

The court papers read: “The Guidelines anticipate that overnight parenting time could begin as early as 28 months of age, but would automatically increase to overnights upon the child attaining three years of age.”

She claimed it is in the “best interest” of James, who turns 3 in May, that “the current parenting time be modified to include overnight parenting time.”

Amber therefore “requests that this court enter an order clarifying the parenting time and application of the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines as it pertains to the child’s increased age or, if necessary, modifying the agreement to specifically allow age appropriate parenting time.” 

Andrew filed for and was granted primary custody of James after Amber was  against the cinematographer in July 2019. 

The Sun previously reported Amber’s claim that Andrew went against their custody agreement and  the week of Christmas in court papers, as she requested the court grant a restraining order to stop him from interfering with her parenting time. 

Amber  entered into Our Family Wizard that he will be traveling for Christmas from December 22 to December 27.

According to the December 23, 2020 court filing, Amber was supposed to have James from noon to 9pm on Christmas Day and on the same hours on the second-half of Christmas break. 

The documents alleged: “[Andrew] has failed to comply with this court’s order to initiate the services of the Parenting Time Coordinator and [Andrew] is again attempting to deny [Amber] holiday parenting time over Christmas vacation, in violation of this Court’s Order.”

She claimed in court documents that he denied her holiday parenting time on October 31, 2019 and December 24, 2019, as well, although this motion was dismissed at the time. 

Amber requested Andrew be “held in contempt of court,” which could result in jail time or a fine, for failing to follow the court’s custody order.
