Whether you need to modify child custody, visitation, or child support, Attorney Michael C.

Many parents assume that once a divorce decree or custody order is finalized, the terms are permanent. In reality, family court orders often need to be updated to reflect changing circumstances.
A parenting schedule that worked several years ago may no longer fit a child’s academic, extracurricular, or developmental needs. Likewise, a child support order may become unrealistic if a parent experiences a significant increase or decrease in income.
Texas courts recognize that families change over time. Under certain circumstances, existing court orders may be modified when a substantial change has occurred and the requested modification is appropriate under the law.
At Wurtz Law Firm, PLLC, we help clients evaluate their options and determine whether pursuing a modification is in their best interests.
Whether you are seeking a modification or responding to one, we can help you understand your options and protect your parental rights.
Our firm works to ensure support obligations remain fair and consistent with Texas law.
Not every request for modification will be approved by the court. Texas law generally requires evidence of a material and substantial change in circumstances before an existing order can be modified.
Whether you are seeking a modification or defending against one, preparation is critical. Our firm carefully evaluates the facts, gathers supporting evidence, and develops a strategy designed to achieve the best possible outcome.
We guide clients through every stage of the process, including:
Whenever possible, we work to resolve disputes efficiently and amicably. When necessary, we are prepared to aggressively advocate for our clients in court.
Family law modifications can significantly impact your relationship with your child and your financial future. Choosing the right attorney matters.
Clients choose Wurtz Law Firm, PLLC because we provide:
As a boutique family law firm, we take the time to understand your goals and help you make informed decisions throughout the process.

Do not navigate divorce, child custody, or child support disputes alone. The decisions made today can affect your family for years to come. Call today for a free consultation.
If your current custody or support order no longer reflects your family’s needs, do not wait to explore your legal options.
