What Constitutes a Change in Circumstances?
Under Texas law, a divorce order may be modified in a number of situations, including:
- The custodial parent wants to relocate with the child.
- The parent paying child support has gotten a promotion and should therefore be paying more in child support.
- The parent paying child support has lost his or her job or has suffered a pay cut, leading to a decrease in support payments.
- A career change leads to inability to maintain the visitation schedule.
- The child is exposed to violence, illegal activity or neglect at home, necessitating a child custody change.
A number of significant, unforeseen life changes can trigger a modification. With extensive experience in this area of the law, our lawyers represent clients who want to file for modification, as well as those who oppose modification. At all times, we keep in mind the best interests of your child.
