General Information About When You Use an Order Like This

In Texas, an Order to Modify Parent-Child Relationship (OPCR) is a legal document issued by a court that modifies or changes the terms of a prior court order related to child custody, visitation, child support, or other parental rights and responsibilities. This order is used when one party seeks changes to an existing court order due to a significant change in circumstances or other compelling reasons.

Here are some common reasons why a person might seek an Order to Modify Parent-Child Relationship in Texas:

1. Change in Custody or Visitation Schedule: One parent may request a modification to the custody or visitation arrangement if they believe it is in the best interest of the child. This could be due to a change in the parent’s work schedule, relocation, or concerns about the child’s safety or well-being.
2. Child Support Modification: If there has been a substantial change in the financial circumstances of either parent, such as a change in income or medical needs of the child, a modification of child support may be sought.
3. Relocation of a Parent: If one parent wishes to move a significant distance away, it can impact the existing custody and visitation arrangement. In such cases, a modification may be necessary to address the new living arrangements.
4. Child’s Preferences: In certain situations, especially as the child gets older, their preferences regarding custody or visitation may be considered by the court.
5. Safety Concerns: If there are concerns about the child’s safety, such as abuse or neglect, a modification may be sought to protect the child.

To obtain an Order to Modify Parent-Child Relationship in Texas, the party seeking the modification must file a motion with the court that issued the original order. They need to provide evidence and arguments supporting the requested changes. The other party will have an opportunity to respond to the motion, and in some cases, a court hearing may be scheduled to allow both parties to present their case.

It’s important to note that modifying a court order is not always guaranteed, and the court will always consider the best interests of the child when making decisions regarding custody and visitation matters.

As family law can be complex, it is highly recommended to seek the assistance of an experienced family law attorney in Texas to navigate the legal process and ensure that your rights and the best interests of the child are protected.
