Child Support Modification Lawyer El Paso

What Is a Child Support Modification in Texas?

A child support modification is a court-approved change to an existing child support order. In Texas, you can request a modification if it has been at least three years since the order was established and the amount would change by 20% or $100 per month, or if there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances. Changes that qualify include job loss, significant income changes, changes in the child's needs, or changes in custody arrangements. Laine Law Firm has helped hundreds of El Paso families successfully modify their child support orders.

How Child Support Modification Works in Texas

To modify child support in Texas, you must file a petition with the court showing a material change in circumstances. The court will review both parents' current incomes, the child's needs, and other relevant factors. If both parents agree to the modification, the process can be relatively straightforward. If there is a dispute, a hearing will be scheduled. Our El Paso child support modification attorneys handle all filings and court appearances, making the process as smooth as possible for you and your family.
