Sometimes factors have changed since your divorce or suit affecting parent child relationship was finalized, and it is in the best interest of the children to have prior custody and/or visitation orders modified.  In order to accomplish this, you need to hire a Custody Lawyer to file a Petition for Modification.  If the children are being exposed to a dangerous environment, you may also file a Temporary Restraining Order and request a Temporary Orders Hearing before the Court makes a final decision regarding modification.

• Petition for Modification of Custody and/or Visitation
• Temporary Restraining Order in emergency situations
• Child of a certain age can tell the Judge which parent they prefer
• Court may order a Social Worker to advise the Court on Custody
