Modification of Orders

Dallas Child Custody Modification Lawyer

Child custody agreements and child support orders are living documents, much like the relationships they describe. As such, the documents that were created at the time of your divorce may need to change as children grow, income changes, and needs change.

At the Dallas Law Office of Steven Wm. Buholz our Dallas child custody modification lawyers help parents modify court orders that no longer work for their children or themselves. In child support cases we can help you take your case back to court for a reduction—or an increase—in support. In child custody cases we can help you draft a new child custody agreement and can facilitate that process using collaborative law or mediation if you want to use those methods in reaching your decision.

At the Law Office of Steven Wm. Buholz we listen and we care. We are here to help.

Child Support Modification

Child support follows state guidelines, but if the financial situation of the parent paying child support has changed substantially, or the child’s financial needs change substantially, either parent may petition the court for a change in support. You will need to prove that the change in circumstances is substantial.

Child Custody Modification

As children grow, they sometimes want more evenly shared parenting time with each parent. In other cases, a parent who previously shared joint custody now finds their co-parent unfit to continue with shared parenting time and they want sole physical custody. In a growing number of cases, one parent may wish to move out of town with the child, and the other parent may want to contest that or reach a new agreement.

Dallas child custody modification lawyer Steven Wm. Buholz works with parents to help them modify orders according to their best interests and the best interests of their children. We work diligently, drawing upon our many years of experience in divorce and family law, to resolve family issues calmly and quickly.

We never let your case drag on. Contact our Dallas family law office to learn how we can help you and your family develop a custody or visitation modification that works for you.
