When Can You Request a Modification?

Whether you are looking to modify the terms of a child support or child custody, having the right legal support is crucial.

Many people modify their SAPCR orders based on:

• A change in employment
• A change in employment compensation (i.e. job loss, promotion, increase/ decrease in salary)
• A change of residency
• A change in a parent’s behavior
• A change in the child’s school schedule
• A move or distance between the parents

Our Denton modification lawyers will take the time to gather all information pertinent to your modification request. We always strive to settle these matters outside of the courtroom to save our clients’ time and money. If a settlement cannot be reached, your case will be presented to the court, which will make its decision with the best interest of the child in mind.

What Are Some Factors the Court Consider for Modifications?

In determining whether a modification is appropriate, Texas courts will consider various factors, including:

• The Best Interests of the Child: In child custody and visitation cases, the most important factor is always the child’s best interests. Courts will consider the child’s emotional, physical, and educational needs when deciding whether to approve a modification. Factors such as the child’s relationship with each parent, the child’s age, and any changes in the child’s living situation will be taken into account.
• The Ability of the Parents to Co-Parent: The court will also evaluate the ability of both parents to work together and make decisions for the child. If there has been a breakdown in communication or co-parenting, this could impact the court’s decision to modify custody or visitation arrangements.
• Changes in Financial Circumstances: For modifications to child support or spousal support, the court will review the financial circumstances of both parties. If there has been a significant change in income, a job loss, or another financial shift, the court may modify the support obligations accordingly. However, a request for modification must be based on a material change, such as a substantial increase or decrease in income, not just temporary changes.
• Health and Well-Being: The health and well-being of both parties, particularly in child custody cases, will be a factor in the decision-making process. If one parent is experiencing health issues that affect their ability to care for the child or meet support obligations, this may be grounds for modification.
