Although divorces are permanent, there are some provisions in a divorce decree that are not set in stone. With the help of our Austin modifications lawyer, you may be able to change some aspects of your divorce order. Alternatively, if your spouse is seeking to modify one or more aspects of your divorce decree, the Law Office of Matthew J. Meese, PLLC may be able to help you prevent it. Let us help you find a solution to your concerns.
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:
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
