Most court orders regarding possession of children or child support are rendered on the basis of a set of facts that naturally change over time. Under certain changed circumstances, child custody and/or child support orders can be modified to fit a current or impending situation, such as a new job, the loss of a job, or the reality of one party wanting to move to another town, state, or country. These are only a few examples of circumstances that may merit modification.  There are many ways that current court orders may no longer be in the best interest of the children or the parties and have in fact become inappropriate or unworkable.

    The attorneys at the Austin-based Milner Law Firm work diligently for their clients to assist them in getting child support and/or child custody order modified where possible.  If you want to know if your situation would merit a change in a prior court order, give us a call and we will tell you whether or not it is in your best interest to pursue a change.

    Like other family law-related matters, modifications can be realized without the need for court hearings and trials through mediation, arbitration, and the collaborative law process. These options are often less expensive than going to court.

  Of course, our attorneys also recognize that sometimes going to court and getting in front of a judge is the only way modifications of court orders and other family law-related matters will be resolved. In such situations, our lawyers are ready to assist their clients in being strong courtroom advocates.
