CHILD SUPPORT MODIFICATION

When divorces or other family court issues are being decided, everyone involved generally puts tremendous effort into establishing an agreement that works for everyone for a long time. No one wants to revisit the hardship that most family law matters bring. Therefore, it is important to build agreements that work for today's circumstances and into the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately, even with everyone's best efforts, family law agreements cannot foresee all potential changes in circumstances. When your life or someone else's life has changed sufficiently, it may be time to modify the agreement to better reflect the current reality.

In Texas, some of the family law matters that can be modified are:

Child support — A modification can be requested every three years or when a substantial change in circumstances has occurred. Pay increases and the loss of a job can constitute the basis for a successful petition to modify child support obligations.
Child custody — Changes in circumstances or your child's evolving needs can constitute the substantial change necessary to grant a modification of child custody and visitation arrangements.

In addition child support and child custody other issues can warrant a modification such as:

Rights and duties
Allocating expenses
Travel
Extra-curricular activities

CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT

Many family law proceedings such as divorces can be hard-fought affairs. Most people leave them with a sense of relief that it is over and that they have secured a family court order that they can work with. These orders presume that the people will cooperate and do what the order says they should.

Unfortunately, people often fail to continue to hold up their end of the bargain. For many reasons, people sometimes cannot or simply do not maintain

their obligations.

When people fail to meet their responsibilities as laid out in a family court order you can petition the court to enforce that person's cooperation.

Common areas where people have to call on the power of the court to enforce compliance include:

Child support
Child custody
Property division
