Modification of Family Law Orders in Wise County, TX

Helping Clients Modify Court Orders When Life Changes

Life does not always remain the same after a divorce or family law case is finalized. Changes in employment, income, health, or a child’s needs may require existing court orders to be updated. When circumstances change significantly, seeking a modification of court-ordered terms may be appropriate.

​

With more than 29 years of experience handling family law matters, Marilyn J. Belew provides careful guidance to help clients determine whether modification is available and how to pursue changes that reflect current realities.

​

Our firm provides strategic family law representation tailored to each client’s goals and circumstances.

Experienced Wise County Modification Attorney

Texas law allows modification of certain family law orders when there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances or when modification is otherwise permitted by statute. These cases require careful preparation, clear evidence, and a strong understanding of how Texas courts evaluate modification requests.

 

​Our firm represents clients throughout Wise County providing:

  • Clear explanations of eligibility for modification

  • Strategic case evaluation

  • Thorough preparation and advocacy

  • Guidance tailored to each family’s situation

​

When circumstances change, the firm works to ensure court orders accurately reflect current realities while protecting clients’ rights and long-term interests.

Family Law Orders That May Be Modified

Life changes can make existing court orders no longer workable, and Texas law allows certain family law orders to be modified when appropriate.

​

Depending on the circumstances, the following family law orders may be eligible for modification:​

  • Child custody and conservatorship

  • Parenting plans and possession schedules

  • Child support orders

  • Certain divorce-related provisions

 

Each case is evaluated individually to determine whether modification is legally appropriate and in the client’s best interests.

Modification of Child Custody Orders

Custody orders may need to change as children grow and family circumstances evolve. Courts may approve a custody modification when a significant change affects the child’s welfare.

​

Common reasons for custody modification include:​

  • Changes in a parent’s work schedule or availability

  • Relocation

  • Changes in a child’s educational or medical needs

  • Concerns regarding a child’s safety or well-being

​

When circumstances shift, careful evaluation and proper documentation are essential to seeking a custody modification that aligns with Texas law.

Modification of Child Support Orders

Child support orders may be modified when financial circumstances change substantially. This can include increases or decreases in income or changes in custody arrangements.

​

Our firm assists clients with:​

  • Evaluating whether modification is appropriate

  • Calculating updated child support amounts

  • Preparing and filing modification requests

  • Representing clients during court proceedings

​

A properly handled modification helps ensure child support orders remain accurate, enforceable, and consistent with current circumstances.

When Modification May Not Be Appropriate

Not every change in circumstance justifies a modification. Courts carefully evaluate requests to ensure modifications are supported by evidence and comply with Texas law. When court orders are not being followed, enforcement of family law orders may be necessary to protect legal rights and ensure compliance.

 

Clients receive clear guidance regarding:​​

  • Whether a modification request is likely to succeed

  • Potential risks or consequences

  • Alternative legal options when modification is not appropriate

 

This approach helps clients make informed decisions before pursuing legal action.
