When to modify custody or child support orders before year-end, from a Houston family law attorney 👇
Court orders are written for the life you had when they were signed. Before a new year starts, check whether yours still fits. These are common signs a custody, visitation or child support modification may be needed:
1️⃣ A significant change in income
2️⃣ Repeated violations of the custody schedule
3️⃣ A parent considering relocation
4️⃣ Concerns about a child’s safety
5️⃣ New educational needs for your child
In Texas, changing a custody or support order generally requires showing a material and substantial change in circumstances. Starting early matters, because holiday schedules, a new school semester and the court calendar can all affect timing.
