Child Custody Modification

Laughing children, a world of possibilities

Modifying a divorce decree or final order concerning child custody, visitation, or support is governed by the Texas Family Code. When a parent or former spouse seeks a modification, the process differs significantly from the original case, with additional legal hurdles to clear. Engaging a League City Custody Modification Lawyer is crucial to safeguarding your rights and ensuring the procedural rules and statutes are leveraged to your advantage. In League City, Rob Musemeche, Board Certified in Family Law, brings decades of expertise in modifying child custody and support orders. He understands that an existing order can only be altered if specific conditions are met and if the change serves the child’s best interests.

Custody Modification

An experienced League City Custody Modification Lawyer will meticulously analyze your case and develop a strategy in line with Texas Family Code, Section 156.101, et seq. This code restricts modifications to orders on possession and access, allowing changes only if:

• The circumstances of the child, conservator, or another affected party have materially and substantially changed since the order was issued or the relevant settlement agreement was signed.

• The child, now at least 12 years old, has expressed their preference to the court.

• The conservator with the primary residence right has voluntarily given up primary care and possession of the child for at least six months.
