Modification and Clarification of Texas Divorce Orders

A prior divorce decree in Texas may be modified for a number of reasons, some of those reasons are listed here:

Modification of Custody

A Final Decree of Divorce may be modified as to custody if more than one year has passed and there has been a material and substantial change affecting the best interest of the child. Custody may also be modified at any time if children are in danger.

Geographic Restriction 

A Final Decree of Divorce may be modified to add a geographic restriction to an area such as a city, county, school district, state, or region.

Injunction for Peace & Protection of Children

A Final Decree may be modified to exclude unrelated overnight guests, to exclude drinking while in possession of children, to exclude drug users from a household, to terminate disparaging comments about a parent, and to keep the peace. 

Modification of Possession and Access

A Final Decree may be modified to provide for longer weekends during the school year, for a custom visitation schedule, and for halfway points and other provisions for long distance visitation.
