How to Obtain a Modification
To make any change to a support or custody order, you will have to prove that a substantial or material change in your life necessitates the modification.
A modification might be approved in situations where:
- One parent needs to relocate for work, a family emergency, or other situation
- One spouse loses their job
- One spouse is demoted or receives a substantial pay raise
- A minor child’s needs change, such as for medical or education reasons
Child support, spousal support, and custody or visitation orders can all be modified if approved by a judge. Keep in mind that property division orders generally cannot be changed.
Judges exercise broad discretion when deciding a modification case and it can be difficult to obtain approval. It is in your best interest to retain a knowledgeable and experienced modification attorney in Richmond, TX if you are seeking a change to any type of family law order. At the Law Firm of Johnson & Gaskill PLLC, you will find the advocacy you are seeking.
How Can I Further Enforce a Court Order?
In addition to helping you modify an existing order, we can also help you seek an enforcement action if someone is violating the terms of your family court order.
We handle enforcements involving:
- An ex-spouse failing to pay alimony
- A parent failing to pay child support
- A parent violating the terms of a custody arrangement
