To modify your parenting plan, you must prove a material change in circumstances. This could be due to living situations, employment, health, or safety concerns. It's important to work with an experienced child custody lawyer who can help you navigate the legal system and present a strong case.
Every three (3) years. Every three years, upon request, the court is required to review and, if appropriate, adjust the child support order.
You must file a SAPCR case in the Texas county where the child lives. Usually, you file in district court, although some Texas counties have courts called “statutory family courts” and “county courts at law” which might be the right venue. If you are not sure, talk to a lawyer who practices law in that county.
Under Tex. Fam. Code §153.009, when a Motion For Judge to Confer With Child is filed for a child over the age of 12 years of age, the judge shall interview a child that is 12 years or older in the judge's chambers to listen to the child's wishes on custody.
It is always a good idea to read the forms prepared by your attorney that detail the case history and your reason for requesting the change in support payments. Knowing the contents of the documents is useful since either the judge or the other party's attorney may ask questions about the paperwork filed.
Work with your lawyer to persuade the court how the change will benefit the child: Prepare to demonstrate to the judge how your proposed modification to child support benefits your child. Usually, a change on its own won't suffice to justify a modification in child support.
In situations where the court has issued a child support order, a mother can't just decide to drop it, even if she desires to. A judge is the sole authority with the power to cancel child support, always putting the child's financial welfare first.
