Post-divorce modifications are court proceedings that seek to change parts of an existing final order after a divorce has ended. In Texas, they often address conservatorship, possession and access, and child support when circumstances have changed or when the current terms no longer meet a child’s needs. Modifications may also address decision-making provisions, exchange logistics, communication rules, and other terms that affect daily life.
Housewright Law Group represents both the party requesting a change and the party opposing one, with a focus on clear, enforceable outcomes that support stability. We employ disciplined preparation, careful documentation, and practical proposals that reduce future disputes. Our firm remains committed to respectful advocacy that protects children, parental rights, and keeps the case focused on lawful relief.
We help our clients on matters involving relocations, schedule changes, school needs, medical issues, or safety concerns, which requires updated custody or support terms, or when the other party is seeking changes that could limit your role as a parent. Our help is also important when a modification is filed on short notice, when temporary relief is needed quickly, or when the current order is being used in a way that creates repeated conflict rather than stability.
What we do
- Negotiate revised terms and draft modified orders written for clear enforcement.
- Review the current final order and identify the provisions that need to change.
- Evaluate whether the facts support a modification request or a defense.
- Draft and file petitions, responses, and supporting pleadings.
- Gather and organize records showing changed circumstances.
- Develop proposed updates to conservatorship, possession schedules, decision-making terms, and child support.
- Seek temporary relief when immediate stability is needed and prepare for prompt hearings.
