Modifications of Prior Orders in Texas

Divorce decrees and conservatorship, possession, and child support orders are made based on the facts that existed at the time of divorce or final order. Under certain changed circumstances – called a material and substantial change – such orders can be modified to apply to your current situation, provided that such a modification is in the best interests of the child.

Possible Reasons to Request a Modification

The following are potential reasons that a modification of a prior order may be needed:

You want to move out of the geographic area where your divorce or final order was finalized
You or your ex-spouse have experienced a change in employment status
The current custody or visitation arrangement is no longer in the child’s best interests
Your ex is having issues of drug abuse, domestic violence, or other problems
Your child has requested a change in his or her living arrangements or visitation schedule

Like all other family law issues, many modifications occur without the need to have a hearing. In fact, many modifications are resolved through informal settlement negotiations or the mediation process.

Resolving your case amicably is generally less expensive than having to go to court. However, our attorneys understand that sometimes going to court and having a judge decide your case is your only option. In those cases, we are ready to help you by being your advocate in the courtroom.
