Practices, tutoring, after-school programs, and transportation can all create friction that did not exist when a possession order was originally written. Sometimes parents can work through these changes informally. When that is not possible, a formal modification may be worth considering.

To modify a possession order in Texas, there generally must be a material and substantial change in circumstances, and the change must serve the child's best interest. If your current schedule is not working, now is a good time to get guidance before the school year starts.

Grandparent rights cases tend to arise during some of the most difficult family circumstances, and they are often more legally complex than people expect.

Grandparents may seek possession, access, or conservatorship of a grandchild, but whether a court will even hear the matter depends on the legal concept of standing. These cases can be emotionally charged on all sides.

Whether you are a grandparent seeking access or a parent navigating a situation involving extended family, Beal Law Firm can help you understand where you stand. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com/grandparent-rights.

August comes faster than it feels like it should, and school decisions often become urgent before parents have reviewed what their custody order actually says.

In Texas, educational rights are part of conservatorship. Depending on your order, one or both parents may have the right to make decisions about school enrollment and type. Understanding what your order says before registration opens is far better than sorting out a dispute after the fact.

If you have questions about your educational rights or whether your order needs updating, Beal Law Firm can help. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com.

Parental alienation refers to a pattern in which one parent's conduct undermines a child's relationship with the other parent. It can take many forms, from negative comments made in front of the child, to interference with communication, to discouraging parenting time.

When this pattern develops, it can affect how a court views custody and possession. If you are noticing signs that your relationship with your child is being affected by the other parent's conduct, speaking with an attorney sooner rather than later is worth considering.

Beal Law Firm has a resource on parental alienation worth reviewing. Visit dfwdivorce.com/parental-alienation-what-is-it or call (800) 811-0380 if you have questions.

It’s a question that comes up more than people expect. A parent moves to Texas from another state. A child has been living with one parent in a different state. A relocation is being considered. Who has jurisdiction, and where does the case get filed?

Jurisdiction in custody cases is governed by the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, and the rules are not always straightforward. Where a case can be heard depends on factors like where the child has lived, for how long, and whether another state already has an existing order.

Getting this wrong at the outset can create serious complications. Beal Law Firm has put together a resource specifically addressing custody jurisdiction questions that is worth reading if your situation involves more than one state.

Finalizing a divorce is a significant milestone, but there are practical steps that often get overlooked in the weeks and months that follow. A few worth addressing:

▪️ Review your decree carefully and make sure you understand every obligation it contains.
▪️ Update beneficiary designations on life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and financial accounts.
▪️ Confirm possession dates and get them on your calendar before conflicts arise.
▪️ Verify that child support and any spousal support obligations are set up correctly.
▪️ Organize key documents, including the decree itself, and keep them somewhere accessible.

If you discover that property was not addressed in your decree, or if support or possession obligations are not being followed, those are matters that may require legal attention.

Beal Law Firm handles post-divorce property suits, enforcement, and modification matters throughout Texas. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com.

Military family law involves a unique set of issues. Deployment and mobilization can affect possession schedules. Military retirement benefits require specific treatment in a divorce. Disability pay, BAH, and other forms of compensation raise unique support questions. Geographic restrictions may need to account for reassignment.

Beal Law Firm founder Eric Beal is a former Marine Corps Legal Officer, and the firm has worked with military members and their families throughout Texas for decades.

If you are an active duty servicemember, veteran, or military spouse with questions about your family law matter, we are glad to talk. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com/military-family-law.

When most people think about custody, they think about which parent the child lives with and when, but a Texas custody case involves much more than a possession schedule.

Conservatorship rights determine which parent can make decisions about a child's education, medical care, and religious upbringing.

Geographic restrictions determine where a child can live. Medical support, child support, and holiday schedules are all part of the picture as well.

Understanding the full scope of your parental rights matters, whether you are going through an initial custody case or revisiting an existing order.

Our attorneys at Beal Law Firm handle all aspects of Texas custody cases and can help you identify what’s at stake in yours. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com.

May is National Moving Month, and if you are a parent subject to a custody or possession order, a move may be more complicated than you expect.

Many court orders include geographic restrictions that limit where a child can reside. Relocating without addressing those restrictions, even within Texas, can put you in violation of a court order.

A move can also affect jurisdiction, possession schedules, and the enforceability of existing agreements.

Before you commit to a new city, talk to a family law attorney. Beal Law Firm can help you understand what your order allows and what steps need to be taken before you move. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com.
