Relocation can create difficult questions for both parents.

One parent may be considering a move for work, remarriage, or family support. The other may be concerned about losing regular time with their child. In Texas, the answer often depends on the existing custody order, any geographic restrictions, and whether the proposed move serves the child's best interests.

Our latest blog explains what parents should know before relocating, what can happen when the other parent objects, and why a custody modification may be necessary.

When child support payments stop, many parents wonder what they can do next.

Texas law provides several ways to enforce a child support order, including income withholding, contempt proceedings, and other legal remedies. While missed payments can create significant financial stress, it's important to remember that child support and visitation are separate legal issues.

Understanding your rights can help you take the appropriate legal steps while continuing to protect your child's best interests.

What happens when a parent violates a custody order?

Missed exchanges, denied visitation, and repeated violations of parenting schedules can create significant stress for both parents and children. While occasional misunderstandings happen, repeated failures to follow a court order may have serious legal consequences.

Texas courts have several enforcement tools available, including make-up parenting time, enforcement orders, contempt proceedings, and, in some cases, modification of an existing custody arrangement.

If you are dealing with ongoing custody order violations, understanding your rights and the available legal remedies is an important first step.

Read our latest blog to learn more about custody enforcement, denied visitation, and what Texas courts can do when a parent refuses to follow a court order.

Many parents assume that courts automatically divide parenting time equally. In reality, Texas law does not require a 50/50 custody arrangement in every case.

Instead, courts focus on what is in the child's best interests. Factors such as each parent's involvement, the child's needs, the parents' ability to co-parent, and the practical realities of the family's situation can all influence the outcome.

It's also important to understand that joint custody does not necessarily mean equal parenting time. While many families successfully use shared parenting schedules, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to custody.

Our latest blog explains how joint custody works in Texas, what the Standard Possession Order provides, and when courts may approve equal parenting time arrangements.

Can a child custody order be changed after a divorce?

Yes…but not simply because one parent wants a different arrangement.
In Texas, courts generally require a material and substantial change in circumstances before modifying an existing custody order. Common examples may include a parent's relocation, significant changes in a child's needs, concerns involving a child's safety, or ongoing problems with visitation.

The court must also determine that the requested change is in the child's best interests.

As families grow and circumstances change, custody arrangements sometimes need to change as well. Understanding when a modification may be appropriate is an important first step for parents evaluating their options.

Read our latest blog to learn more about custody modifications, relocation disputes, and what qualifies as a material and substantial change under Texas law.
