Family law modifications are meant to make your life easier when the current orders are no longer tenable. This legal process can be used for a variety of different court orders, too. If a court order is making your life more difficult, and you think there could be a reasonable solution with a modification, then let us see what can be done about it.

However, no matter the reason that you want a modification, it must be necessary based on newly changed situations, and the solution must be reasonable and not counteract an involved child’s best interests.
Texas family law courts typically do not allow an order to be modified more than once a year. By restricting how often an order can be changed, the goal is to ensure that the change was necessary in the first place. Of course, there are always situations in which it makes sense to modify a court order, regardless of when it was last modified. For example, if another modification would help protect your child’s well-being, such as if their current living situation with your ex-spouse became unsafe, then the court might approve it.
After a family court order has been modified, there is no guarantee that it will be followed by your ex-spouse or other affected family members. Albin Oldner Law, PLLC can help you with the enforcement of court orders, including those that have been newly modified. We can compel the court to take steps to enforce the modification, just as it could for original orders.
Court order modification enforcement could be necessary if your ex-spouse is:
Modifying a court order is tricky by default. Make sense of it with the help of our Plano modification attorneys. It would be our pleasure to help you draft or enforce a modification or figure out how to respond to a modification if your ex-spouse petitioned for one.
