Modifications to
Existing Court Orders
Material
and Substantial Change
When a divorce or suit affecting the
parent-child relationship is finalized, the terms of the order are based
on the circumstances that exist at that time. If those circumstances
materially and substantially changed, either spouse may request a
modification to the order to better accommodate the current
circumstances. If there has been a change in income, remarriage, changes
in work schedules, or relocation this may be a cause to file a
modification. Other changes can be cause for a modification
request.
Best Interest of the Child
Modifications
must be in the
child's best interest and the Court is routinely focused on
maintaining the child's relationships with both parents. Whether you
were divorced years ago, have a support order, custody order, or
paternity order, you can modify the child possession, conservatorship,
child support, health insurance obligations, and other child
related provisions.
Child Support
may be modified based upon changes in the obligor's income.
However, the Courts will rarely allow child support to be set at an
amount lower that minimum wage, even if the obligor is unemployed.
