Divorce Modifications Lawyer In Richmond, Texas
Can you Modify a Texas Divorce Decree if Circumstances Changed? Let Our Experience Help You Change the Agreements.
It’s easy to get the idea that once a divorce or child custody agreement is final, no changes can be made. However, the terms of these agreements are based on the circumstances at the time they were made. What was fair at that time may not be fair at all now.
If changes in the circumstances can be proven to be substantial by a divorce modifications attorney in Richmond, TX, then the law would favor making changes in the agreements. At the Vendt Law Firm, P.L.L.C, our modifications lawyers are prepared to fight to help you achieve a settlement that suits your evolving needs.
Divorce Agreement Modifications
Making changes to finalized divorce agreements is not frequently done.
Some of the changes in circumstances that might justify a modification include:
- One of the parties has a substantial increase in income
- One of the parties has a substantial decrease in income or financial hardship
- One of the parties has a major change in health
- One of the parties gets remarried
If what you are paying alimony or receiving in alimony or child-support does not reflect your current situation, contact and an experienced divorce modification attorney in Richmond at (832) 276-9474.
Child Custody Modifications
You might have heard the term conservatorship. That is just the legal term used in Texas to describe child custody matters. Child custody agreements are made with the child’s best interests in mind—for that moment in time. But times can change. Are things different now?
A judge may consider your petition to modify your existing agreement for a variety of reasons based on new circumstances, such as:
- Changes in employment status
- Changes in marital status
- Relocations
- Abuse or neglect by a parent
- Health issues of the parents or child
- Incarceration of a parent
- Substance abuse by a parent
- Wishes of the child (if 12 or older)

Frank guided me through a very challenging divorce and I couldn’t be more pleased.
“I cannot recommend Mr. Vendt and his associates more! Frank guided me through a very challenging divorce and I couldn’t be more pleased. Response times on phone and email were exceptional. On the rare occasion my questions were not answered immediately, I would wait only hours at the most, thankfully, I never waited into the next day. Frank also made a surprising effort to fully understand my situation, and negotiate a fair deal. Although it meant less money in his pocket, he managed to avoid a second trial, and negotiated a fair deal I was very pleased with. I always assumed lawyers were in it for all they could get, but Frank truly had my best interest at the forefront of his efforts. The best quality I can mention is that Frank is very honest and strait forward. He reads the situation, and advises in a very clear and accurate manor. I never felt like I was in limbo, and with Frank on my side, I knew what to do and what to expect to reach a satisfying conclusion to a difficult time in my life. I hope and pray I never need his service again, but if I do require a family attorney in the future, The Vendt Law firm will receive my first and only call.”
