Modification Suits

When clients go through a divorce, they can take some solace in the fact that – at least for the property division issues – for the most part, once the case is over…..its over.

But things are different when it comes to issues regarding children.  A court order regarding custody, visitation or support of a child is never truly “final”.  The Family Code says that the court can modify an order regarding a child, if the circumstances of the child, or a parent, have “materially and substantially changed” since the date of the original order and if modification is in the child’s best interest.  See Texas Family Code §156.101.

As they say, life happens.  If things have changed since the court made its order regarding your children, and the order is no longer workable, contact us to talk about how our modification attorneys can help.  We assist clients in Plano, Allen, McKinney, Frisco and Wylie in modifying primary custody, modifying visitation schedules and modifying child support in response to life changes.
