Child Support Modification Attorney in Austin, TX

Facts and circumstances can change over time, which may make it difficult, if not impossible, to meet the terms of your divorce, or other previous family law order. Sometimes, what worked well years ago does not work for you, and/or your children, now. Fortunately, the law understands and will allow a modification of your divorce or other family law order that will adapt to your new reality – if there has been a material and substantial change in the circumstances of one of the parties, including a child, to the case AND the modification, or change, is in the best interest of the child.

 

At the Morrison Law Firm, we understand that most people work very hard to meet their child support obligations and visitation schedules. Many do not file for modifications without thinking things through carefully beforehand. So, when you approach our firm, we know you do so having already decided the modification you seek is important and worth the expenditure of money it will take to get a court to make the requested modification. The attorneys at the Morrison Law Firm will help you evaluate the merits of the modification proceeding you have in mind, as well as help you achieve a new order that more realistically accounts for your new schedule and/or your changed financial reality.

 

Alimony Order Changes ▪ Child Support Changes ▪ Judgment Modifications ▪ Child Custody Changes

 

The ex-spouse paying child support may lose a job, suffer a reduction in pay, become disabled, or may get a great new job and significant raise in pay. With any of these life changes, the child support assigned at the time the Final Decree of Divorce, or other final order, was entered may no longer be appropriate. Fortunately, the terms of that divorce decree, or other final order, can be modified to address these types of changed circumstances and more, whether that means:

 

• Decreasing or increasing child support

• Eliminating or reducing alimony

• New restrictions on the geographic area of the children’s home

• Relaxing previous restrictions on a parent moving outside a certain geographic area

• Changing custody roles and visitation

• Renewing protective orders for domestic violence

 

In these cases, our modification specialists will work closely with your ex-spouse and their attorney to propose an order modification that makes sense for everyone. And you can be assured we will do everything in our power to minimize any adverse effects the process may have on the children involved. If necessary, we can also take the modification request to trial, should the talks with your ex-spouse prove unsuccessful.
