Child Custody & Child Support Modifications

When Circumstances Change

Life involves constant change. Incomes increase and decrease. Parenting capabilities may be altered. In the midst of all this change, it's important that you respond to and accommodate the factors affecting you and your family. Whether you need a modification of an existing child support, child custody or visitation order, an experienced family law attorney can assert your rights.

At Bradshaw & Bradshaw, PLLC, we represent individuals seeking child custody and support modifications. When you visit our second generation law office in Friendswood, Texas, our lawyers will provide a straightforward evaluation of your case and aggressively pursue your rights.

Helping You Obtain Necessary Modifications

In Texas, modifications of existing child custody or child support orders are granted when the circumstances of either parent or the child have changed significantly and the proposed modification is in the child's best interests. Modifications are common in issues including:

  • Relocation — When the parent with primary custody wants to move to a distant location, the other parent faces limited ability to be involved in the child's life. This parent may wish to pursue primary custody or a modification of the court's order for visitation. We represent parents in both situations.
  • Remarriage — When one parent remarries, problems with visitation can occur. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for the new spouse to be intolerant of the other parent's right to make decisions regarding the child.
  • Exposure to harm — If the parent with primary custody exposes the child to physical or emotional harm, the other parent may seek custody.  Sometimes, a modification of a parent's visitation rights may be necessary to protect the child. 
  • Financial or employment changes — A modification may be appropriate if one parent's financial or employment situation has changed. This also applies if the child incurs unexpected medical or educational expenses.

When you retain our services, we will listen to your situation and explain various strategies for seeking your desired modification. Contact our office to meet with our lawyers.
