Texas Divorce Modifications and Enforcement Lawyers
Kingwood | Sugar Land | Houston
Texas courts have continuing jurisdiction over child custody, child support and spousal support orders after a divorce, and have a right to modify or enforce these orders. At the law firm of Martin & Lilly, our lawyers often represent clients who want to enforce custody or support orders, as well as clients who need to modify these orders due to a change in circumstances.
Child custody and support orders can be changed if there is a significant change in financial circumstances after your divorce. Examples of changes include:
- Changing your current child custody and visitation agreement if the current plan is no longer working
- Reducing your child support payments if you lose your job or are forced to take a lower paying job
- Reducing your child support payments if you have additional children from a later marriage that you need to support
- Increasing child support payments if the payer's income increases over time
- Decreasing spousal support payments if the person receiving it becomes self-supporting
If your spouse violates a court order as to child custody or support, the judge can fine and jail your spouse. Your spouse can also be ordered to comply with the order and pay your attorney's fees.
