How to get help
Review standing and modification grounds, confirm the court with continuing jurisdiction, complete and file the petition and case information, serve every respondent or obtain a valid waiver, notify the Attorney General when required, prepare the correct agreed or default final documents, and attend the required hearing or submission process.
Who this service helps
Either parent may file, and certain nonparents may qualify under stated standing rules. TexasLawHelp's forms are limited to agreed cases or defaults after proper service; a contested modification requires legal advice and a different hearing process.
Where this service is available
