Can a custodial agreement be modified if the non-custodial parent is consistently violating the terms?
Child Custody
Custodial Agreement
Texas
I am the custodial parent of my child, and the non-custodial parent has been consistently violating the terms of our custodial agreement by failing to show up for scheduled visitations, not providing financial support, and disregarding important decisions regarding our child's education and healthcare. I want to know if it is possible to modify the custodial agreement to ensure that the non-custodial parent is held accountable for their actions and to protect the best interests of our child.

If the agreement is an out of court agreement, a petition can be filed to obtain a custody order. Once an order is obtained, if a party violates the order, an enforcement action can be filed against them. If the agreement is a court order, it should contain language that would allow for enforcement. Typically, there must be a change in circumstances to request a court order be modified.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
