It is helpful to keep in mind that you will be dealing with the other parent of your child regarding such matters as education, health care and religion.

A businesslike arrangement means that the parents can be civil to each other in negotiating decisions that need to be made for their mutual children.
Tulsa and Austin Modification and Enforcement Attorneys
Generally, there needs to be a substantial change in circumstances before a court will modify previous court orders regarding family law matters that it has issued. Examples of a substantial change would be a job loss through no fault of your own, a serious health matter, layoff and retirement. Quitting your job so that you do not have to pay child support or alimony is not a substantial change and the court may order you to continue payments at the same level you were previously paying.
If you have encountered circumstances that have a substantial effect on your ability to pay child support or alimony, you need the accurate and unbiased advice of a knowledgeable effective family law attorney who can advise you on whether you have a viable case and how to protect your rights. We know how a court looks at custody and how they decide family law matters. In custody actions the best interests standard is used to decide who should have custody in a divorce. Our lawyers are counselors who appreciate your stress and help you to do the right thing by your children.
