What Is a Reason to Modify a Divorce Decree?

Post-divorce modifications can be used to modify specific sections of the divorce decree. Generally, property division cannot be modified after the divorce is finalized unless fraud can be established or a community asset has been left out. More typical modifications of a divorce decree include changes to child support, child custody and possession, and many other family law matters.

Examples of material and substantial changes may include:

  • Job loss
  • Relocation
  • A new job requiring a move
  • Serious illness in the child or a parent
  • A significant increase or decrease in income

Due to the complexities of the law, it is in your best interests to seek the advice of an attorney with experience in post-divorce modification. Our firm represents clients seeking all types of divorce decree modifications.

Can Child Custody Orders Be Modified in Texas?

A parent can seek a modification of their child custody orders after filing a petition, any time after the original decree was issued. You must do this with the court where your divorce was filed and granted, that is unless your child has relocated. If so, then the modification must take place in the county where your child is currently living.
