Round Rock Attorneys Modifying Divorce Decrees

Last updated on September 2, 2025

If you already have a divorce decree in place, circumstances may arise that require changes. Life doesn’t stand still, and when your situation shifts, your court order may need to reflect those changes. At Izzo & Associates, PLLC, in Round Rock, we help clients pursue or defend modifications to existing divorce agreements.

In addition to divorce decrees, we handle modifications to final orders in Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship (SAPCR) cases as well as custody, visitation and child support orders issued through the office of the attorney general’s process. We understand the challenges these situations bring, and we take the time to learn about each client’s unique needs before creating a personalized plan to guide them forward.

When Custody, Support Or Visitation Orders Need To Change

Sometimes, the court orders that once made sense no longer fit your family’s needs. When that happens, you may be able to request a modification.

Child Custody

A custody modification involves changing which parent has primary decision-making authority or adjusting the terms of a parenting plan. Courts require proof of a material and substantial change in circumstances before granting these requests.

Common reasons for a custody modification include:

• A parent relocating to another city or state
• A child’s educational, medical or emotional needs changing over time
• A parent’s declining health or a significant change in employment
• Concerns about a parent’s living environment or ability to provide safe care

Child Support

Child support orders can be increased or decreased when circumstances change. Courts may approve a modification if:

• A parent’s income significantly increases or decreases due to job loss, promotion or career change
• A child develops new needs, such as ongoing medical care or special educational expenses
• The amount of support differs by either 20% or $100 per month from the existing order

Visitation

When schedules shift, visitation orders often need updating. Modifications may adjust how often or when a parent sees their child. Examples include:

• A parent’s new work schedule that conflicts with the current visitation plan
• A child’s changing school, sports or extracurricular schedule
• A parent moving a long distance away

Spousal Support

Spousal support may also be modified if circumstances change in a significant way. A court may reduce or end support if the paying spouse loses income, or if the receiving spouse remarries or becomes financially independent.

How We Help Families In Round Rock, Texas

We have tried cases and interacted with Title IV-D courts and county and district courts in more than a dozen different counties within Texas for decades. We are well-versed in this area, having successfully handled hundreds of modifications for our clients. The key for our family law attorneys is to consult with new clients as to the specific facts of their cases.

It is very important that each new client has manageable expectations regarding what can and cannot potentially be accomplished in court. We always give our clients our fair estimate of success ahead of time for each of their issues. We know that different or changing case facts can affect each case uniquely.

Enforcing Decrees In Texas

All our clients have the right, and some would say the duty, to see that Texas court orders are upheld. If you are currently impacted adversely by a previous court order, give us a call for a free assessment of your chances and the potential costs involved in trying to set things straight through an enforcement action. We are always disturbed and saddened when someone calls and explains what is happening to them or their children at the hands of a past opponent who refuses to follow court orders.

These difficulties can include a party not paying child support, a party denying the other visitation with the children and a party failing to provide insurance coverage as ordered. Interestingly, our attorneys also often hear about promises concerning property decisions being ignored or avoided. Many helpless new clients tell us how they have had themselves taken advantage of by a former spouse who has failed to reimburse them for their portion of a home sale or who will not follow through with transferring a phone or goods that were divided by the court.
