Texas Lawyer Handles Modifications of Orders
Important family issues are our focus at The Perry Law Firm, and this includes helping people obtain modifications of the many court orders contained in a divorce decree. Please contact us today if your circumstances have significantly changed and you need to petition for a modification of child support or another order in your decree.
Life goes on after divorce — and that may mean major positive or negative changes for either party. No divorce agreement or decree can account for all the possibilities. Consequently, Texas law provides conditions and procedures for seeking modification of orders such as those covering:
Job Loss or Job Change — Children's Needs — Remarriage — Relocation
Some of the most common situations that may justify a petition for modification of child support, alimony, or other orders include:
- A job loss or job change that substantially impacts either ex-spouse's income on a long-term basis
- Substantial changes in the financial needs of children of the marriage, making modification of child support necessary
- Other circumstances, such as remarriage, an adoption, or the desire of either party to relocate
Each situation that may prompt you to seek modification is unique. Applying experience in all areas of family law, attorney Nancy M. Perry will evaluate your existing orders and advise you on the likelihood of obtaining a post-decree modification. Depending on your circumstances and the type of modification, mediation may be a viable alternative to going to court as adversaries.
