Establishing Change in Circumstances

In order for the Family Court to grant a modification of custody or visitation, the parent requesting the change, must prove that a material and substantial change in circumstances or change in parental behavior has occurred since the divorce decree or settlement. Our Texas family lawyer represents parents who wish to modify visitation or custody, or who wish to contest a modification. The following are examples of some substantial circumstances that may call for a modification:

  • Failure to show up for visitation
  • Refusal to honor the other parent's visitation rights
  • Moving out of state with the child (or beyond the geographical restrictions set by the court)
  • Domestic violence or child abuse
  • Child neglect
