Divorce Decree Modifications in Texas
Circumstances change after a divorce. Incomes rise and fall, and parenting capabilities may change as well. Our laws regulating family relationships provide for the modification of divorce decrees and other child custody orders to reflect changed circumstances.
The Houston, Texas, family law firm of Myres, Dale & Associates, P.C., handles complex litigation relating to modifications of divorce decrees, post-divorce child support and child custody disputes. We represent clients in the Houston area, but our law firm also has the resources and the experience to handle multijurisdictional family law disputes involving multiple states or foreign nationals.
Child Custody Modifications: Calm Guidance in an Emotional Firestorm
Our law firm is frequently called upon to handle divorce decree modifications involving post-divorce disputes over child custody. We represent parents who wish to change custody or visitation arrangements out of fear that the current agreement endangers the child due to the other parent's substance abuse or mental health problems. We also provide compassionate defense and guidance to a parent when the other parent is threatening to take away their visitation rights for the same reasons.
Our roster of attorneys includes seasoned trial lawyers and three lawyers who are certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. We have decades of experience litigating complex family law disputes, including child custody fights.
"It's very easy to be a force of destruction when you have people who are in a fragile emotional situation because of their own or their ex-spouse's untreated or undiagnosed mental health issues. One of the characteristics that sets our firm apart from others is that we are committed to being as constructive as we possibly can in these circumstances." — Firm co-founder Laura D. Dale
Parental Relocation and Move-Away Cases
Another tough issue in the realm of child custody conflicts arises when the parent with primary custody decides to relocate — taking the child out of proximity of the other parent. Parental relocation litigation is almost always highly contentious, and the outcomes are far from certain under the current state of the law.
In parental relocation cases, we can provide guidance based on our extensive experience litigating these issues before courts in Texas. If you are considering relocating, or if you believe your ex-spouse is planning to move away with your child, early legal advice can help you set realistic expectations and make well-thought-out decisions about how best to preserve the parent-child relationship.
