That completely depends on how quickly the wheels turn in the court of jurisdiction making the modification. A court hearing may or may not be required before a custody modification is approved and when that takes place depends on the court's calendar. In some jurisdictions, the wheels move quickly, in others, especially with those jurisdictions overloaded with cases, it may take a while. First come, first served unless it is deemed an emergency order. Then it may be pushed forward.
