“When can I seek a modification?”

Modifications are only granted in Texas courts when there is a dramatic and verifiable change in the circumstances of a family. This means that careful preparation and consideration is needed before approaching the court for an alteration in matters they have already ruled on.

Legitimate reasons for a modification of orders include:

• A significant change in income or job situation
• A significant change in insurance benefits
• A change in the martial status of one the involved parties (remarriage)
• A significant change in residence (relocation)
• A significant change in the health of one of the involved parties
• A concern for child abuse, domestic violence, or substance abuse

In cases of child support, a modification can also be sought if the agreement has not been updated in three years and the it differs from state guidelines by 20% or $100. If you believe you need a spousal maintenance, child custody, or child support agreement that needs to be modified, it needs to be court-approved. Our proven Fort Worth modification lawyers can help you navigate this process and ensure that your appeal for a modification is given every consideration by the judge.
