Austin, Texas Child Custody, Spousal Support, and
Child Support Modification Lawyer

Divorced people often seek post-decree modifications to adjust the amounts they are required to pay for child support or spousal support or to read just child custody agreements. Reasons for post-decree modifications may include any major change in either person’s situation, including:

• decrease in income of the payor spouse, perhaps due to loss of a job
• increase in income of either spouse
• remarriage of the spouse who receives spousal support or child support
• adoption of a child by a step-parent.

Is it Worth It to Pursue a Post-Divorce Modification?

Contact Austin, Texas post-divorce modification attorney David Todd to request a consultation if you are in need of a change in your divorce decree for any reason. At your initial consultation, he will help you determine whether your desired post-decree modification is cost effective. In other words, will it cost more to obtain it than what you will save?

Modifications through Mediation

If you and attorney David Todd decide that your post-divorce modification is worth pursuing, he can advise you regarding how you and your ex-spouse may be able to use mediation to achieve your goals, rather than arguing the case in court. He can help communicate to your ex-spouse the benefits of such an approach. If mediation is an option in your case, any money saved on court costs and attorney’s fees will be available for the family to use for other goals.
