Child custody is determined based on the best interests of the child. A lot can change as children grow up. The three primary reasons for the modification of custody in Texas are:

• Voluntary relinquishment by the parent with primary custody.
• A child 12 years of age or older expressing their preference to a court where a child wants to live.
• A material or substantial change in a child or parent’s circumstances has occurred. This is the most common of the three to occur. This may include a parent remarries and has another child so child support will need to be changed or a parent change or loses their job which will affect child support as well. Maybe one or both parents moving will be another reason for a material or substantial change.

Modifying an existing child custody or child support order can be complicated and time consuming.
