Once a divorce is finalized, the court issues a binding order. The decree usually sets out conditions and requirements that each individual must follow. These conditions apply to property division, child support obligations, and child custody arrangements. A skilled Round Rock Child Custody Modifications & Enforcement Lawyer can help parents address changes in circumstances or enforce existing court orders to protect their parental rights and their child’s best interests.
However, circumstances can significantly change post-divorce and it may be necessary to modify child custody decisions. Heinrich Christian, PLLC, can help you fight for custody modifications or strongly enforce existing orders.
If you require assistance with your child custody order, call our experienced Texas law firm at 512-645-1821.
With more than 25 years of combined experience, our lawyers provide caring and attentive representation to ease clients’ worries in what is often a difficult process..
Similar to child support modifications, modifying child custody arrangements requires court filings and appearances. You must demonstrate a material and substantial change in circumstances that makes the current arrangement no longer workable such as:
Unfortunately, a divorce decree does not always mean the end of court proceedings. If the other party disobeys the divorce decree or court order, such as failing to comply with the custody arrangement, you may be able to pursue legal action in court. Our experienced attorneys can assertively advocate on your behalf, and defend your rights.
The consequences of failing to comply with court orders can be severe. You can face heavy fines, wage garnishment and even jail time. If you’ve had an enforcement action filed against you, it is critical to seek legal counsel as soon as possible.
Under Texas law, divorcing parents are required to develop a parenting plan and submit it for court approval. A parenting plan thoroughly details each parent’s parental responsibilities and rights in order to prevent future disagreements. We strive to help families create parenting plans that solve common family problems and promote long-term harmony.
Parenting plans outline all aspects of your child care and raising strategy, including:
Once you decide on a parenting plan, it must be submitted to the court for approval. The court will approve the plan, request revisions or provide you with a plan if you are unable to come to a resolution on your own. However, it is preferred for families to develop their own plans to ensure that they are workable and will be followed.
Our attorneys understand that all families are different. We closely partner with you to understand your goals and offer innovative solutions to meet your needs. At Heinrich Christian, PLLC, we provide each client with personalized, responsive care that treats you as an individual.
We are skilled mediators and can negotiate a plan that is in your child’s best interest. Our firm will work closely with the other side so that the plan can be agreed on by all parties and the Texas courts. We will assertively protect your needs and ensure that your well-being is not overlooked in this process.
Texas courts require proof of a material and substantial change in circumstances before approving a custody modification. Qualifying changes can include a shift in either parent’s work schedule or residence, a change in either parent’s criminal record, an arrangement that is no longer appropriate for the child’s age, the child’s own wishes (at a certain age), or a remarriage.
If the other party disobeys the divorce decree or court order — such as failing to comply with the custody arrangement — you may be able to pursue legal action in court. The consequences of failing to comply with court orders can be severe, including heavy fines, wage garnishment, and even jail time. If an enforcement action has been filed against you, seeking legal counsel promptly is critical.
Under Texas law, divorcing parents are required to develop a parenting plan and submit it for court approval. A parenting plan thoroughly details each parent’s parental responsibilities and rights in order to prevent future disagreements. Courts prefer that families develop their own plans to ensure they are workable and will be followed.
Parenting plans outline all aspects of child care and raising strategy, including child support payments, child custody rights, visitation schedules, parenting rules, and resolutions for anticipated parenting conflicts. Once agreed upon, the plan must be submitted to the court, which will either approve it, request revisions, or provide one if the parents cannot reach an agreement on their own.
