LEWISVILLE DIVORCE MODIFICATIONS & ENFORCEMENTS ATTORNEY
Serving Denton County, Flower Mound, Carrolton & Highland Village
When a divorce is finalized, the decree only reflects your circumstances at the time of the divorce. They do not predict the future. As your life, your former spouse’s life, and the life of your child change, certain terms of your divorce agreement may need to be revisited and changed. At North Texas Family Lawyers, we have helped hundreds of clients modify child custody arrangements, spousal support, child support amounts, visitation rights, and property division terms.
Our team understands that life can bring about unexpected changes requiring adjustments to your original divorce decree. Whether it's a significant change in employment, relocation, or shifts in financial circumstances, we provide comprehensive support tailored to our local community's needs. From crafting new visitation schedules to altering financial obligations, our attorneys work diligently to ensure any agreed modifications serve your best interests while complying with Texas family law requirements.
At North Texas Family Lawyers, enforcement goes beyond paperwork. We assist with filing necessary motions to hold non-compliant parties accountable, ensuring that legal obligations are met. By partnering with our dedicated team, clients in Lewisville benefit from focused advocacy that seeks not only resolution but also peace of mind.
Reasons to Modify or Enforce Your Divorce Agreement
Several reasons may exist for the need to modify or enforce your divorce agreement. These reasons include:
- Your former spouse remarried.
- Your former spouse received a substantial pay increase.
- Your current visitation schedule no longer works as your children have gotten older.
- You need more flexibility in your child custody or visitation arrangement.
- Your former spouse has taken on a demanding job that requires him or her to give up more time with the children.
- Previously undisclosed property issues have come to light that may affect your spousal or child support or alimony payment.
- Your former spouse or your child’s other parent has failed to remain current on child support payments.
Our firm can help you resolve these issues and obtain the support you need either through your agreement being modified or enforced. You don’t have to lose your child visitation rights or financial support, just because you or your ex-spouse’s circumstances change.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does the Modification Process Take?
The duration of the modification process can vary significantly depending on the specifics of the case and the court's schedule. Typically, a straightforward case might take a few months, while more complicated ones involving disputes between the parties can extend longer. At North Texas Family Lawyers, we strive to expedite this process efficiently by preparing comprehensive documentation that supports your case's merits, thereby reducing potential delays. We keep you informed at every stage and handle all procedural requirements to ensure a smooth progression through the legal system.

It's important to note that the court will ultimately decide based on the evidence presented, always prioritizing the child's best interests.
