Modifications

In certain situations, the need to modify the court’s previous orders may be necessary and even advisable. Modification actions occur after a final order has been rendered by a court, and new issues have arisen or changes need to be made to that court order. Modification actions can become necessary when circumstances of the parties and/or children have changed since the rendition of the last court order. Common modification actions include modifying child support (increasing or decreasing), possession and access schedules of the children, and/or custody. There are different legal grounds that must be met depending on what you seek to modify and the timing of the potential modification.

We will help you determine whether a modification action is warranted and possible.
