Divorce Modification

When life changes, divorce agreements can too. Our modification attorneys can help guide you though the process to obtain the best possible outcome. It is common for a former spouse to want to change an aspect of a final divorce decree, especially regarding child custody arrangements, child support, and/or spousal support orders. While terms of a divorce agreement are binding, it is possible to change them in a “modification.” However, post-divorce modifications aren’t often easy and will only be considered if there has been a substantial change in circumstances.

Court Order Enforcement

In a family law case, achieving a favorable settlement or obtaining a court order in your favor is only half the battle. After the court has issued orders on matters like child custody, visitation, child support, alimony, or property division, strict adherence to these mandates become imperative. Should a party fail to comply with the court’s directives, pursuing enforcement of the order becomes necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Grounds for Divorce in Texas?

Texas allows both fault-based and no-fault divorces. Common grounds include adultery, cruelty, abandonment, felony conviction, or living apart for more than three years. If you're unsure what grounds may apply to your situation, our Fort Worth divorce attorneys can help you understand your options. Schedule a consultation today.

Who Gets Custody of the Children in a Texas Divorce?

Texas courts prioritize the best interests of the child. They often favor joint managing conservatorship unless one parent poses a risk to the child’s well-being. Every custody case is unique. Talk to a Fort Worth child custody lawyer to protect your rights and your child’s future.

How Is Child Support Calculated in Texas?

Child support is typically a percentage of the noncustodial parent's income, with guidelines set by the Texas Family Code. Adjustments may be made based on specific needs. If you're concerned about how much support you may owe—or be entitled to—contact our team to review your specific situation.

What Happens to Property and Assets in a Divorce?

Texas is a community property state, which means most property acquired during the marriage is subject to division. However, courts may divide property based on fairness, not just a 50/50 split. Dividing assets can get complicated, especially with homes, businesses, or retirement accounts. Let our Fort Worth, Alliance, Mansfield, and Arlington divorce lawyers help protect what matters most.

Can I Change a Custody or Support Order Later?

Yes. If circumstances change—like a parent moving, job changes, or concerns about the child’s safety—you can request a modification from the court. Need to update your custody or support order? Our family law attorneys can guide you through the modification process.
