New Braunfels Child Support Modification Attorney

As your life changes, an original divorce decree or custody order may no longer suit your needs. The re-marriage of one or both spouses, illness, substance abuse, loss of employment and death are all life-changing events that can necessitate the modification of a prior court order. At The Bettersworth Law Firm, we help families in New Braunfels, Texas and the surrounding areas deal with modifications for several types of court orders, including:

1. Divorce Decrees
2. Paternity Orders
3. Custody Orders/Parenting Plans
4. Child Support Agreements

These orders are strictly enforceable by Texas law and they must be modified when life’s circumstances require such action. State law states that all modifications must be filed in the same court and in the same county as the original prior order was entered. If children have been living in another Texas county, however, the court may allow jurisdiction to be transferred to the appropriate local county court.

In either case, our team at The Bettersworth Law Firm is skilled in creating tailored solutions for prior orders and will travel to the correct county court to file your documents. Keep in mind that you can modify custody and child support orders up until the last child reaches the age of 18, graduates from high school or is legally emancipated.
