When Divorce Orders Can Be Modified
Whether people like it or not, life is always filled with change. Texas law acknowledges this fact in matters pertaining to divorces. If you believe that any of the provisions in your divorce decree need to be altered, you may file a petition for modification as soon as one year after the judge signed the order.
Aspects of a divorce order that can be modified include:
- Spousal support
- Child support
- Child custody and visitation
Texas courts generally only allow for divorce modifications when one or more parties have experienced a substantial change in circumstances.
Circumstances that may warrant modifications of existing orders include changes in:
- Income level
- Employment
- Relationship status
- Medical condition
- Child’s preference
- Location
- The child’s needs
- Criminal record
- Treatment of the child
