Child Custody and Child Support Modifications

Terms related to conservatorship, possession and access, and child support can be modified by the courts under certain circumstances. Changes like a new job, a new spouse, a child’s graduation, or a new baby might be welcome. However, other changes may increase conflict, create scheduling challenges, or cause financial strain.

The courts evaluate whether a modification is in the child’s best interest, considering factors like:

A material and substantial change in circumstances for the paying party, receiving party, or child
Proven needs of the child
Respective abilities of each party to support the child

Child-support orders may be eligible for modification every three years if the difference in ordered support is at least 20% or $100. It’s crucial to consult an experienced attorney to present the strongest case for a support increase or reduction.

Mr. Dietrich gave me truthful facts of what he could and could not do for my case. He never led me on or told me what I “wanted to hear.” His honesty is what convinced me I wanted to hire him to represent me. He has done everything he said he could and would do on our case.
