Collin County Modifications And Enforcements Attorney For Post-Divorce Issues
Even after a divorce is final, life continues to change. Children grow, jobs shift and parenting arrangements may no longer fit a family’s needs. When those changes affect court orders for custody, support or visitation, legal action may be required. The Law Office of Holly E. Fuller helps clients in Allen, Dallas, Denton, Frisco, McKinney, Plano, Rockwall and nearby communities with modification and enforcement requests tied to divorce, custody and support.
With over 30 years of experience, managing attorney Holly E. Hunter handles a wide range of post-judgment cases. Whether a parent needs to modify a child plan or enforce a support order, she builds clear, focused strategies to meet each family’s goals.
When A Court Order Needs To Change
Texas law allows changes to custody, support and spousal maintenance when there has been a substantial change in circumstances. This could include:
- A parent losing a job or receiving a promotion
- A change in a child’s needs, school or health
- One parent relocating or violating the parenting plan
- A new schedule that disrupts the current plan
- Drug or alcohol addiction
- Child abuse
A modification petition asks the court to update the original order. The court will look at the facts, review any changes and decide what outcome best supports the child or parties involved.
When A Court Order Is Not Being Followed
When one party does not follow a court order, such as failing to pay support or refusing visitation, enforcement may be necessary. The court can issue penalties, including contempt of court, fines or even jail time in serious cases. The firm handles all types of enforcement proceedings, including:
- Child custody enforcement
- Child support enforcement
- Spousal support enforcement
- Visitation interference
Attorney Fuller works to resolve these issues quickly and protect clients from ongoing harm.

What You Should Know About Court Order Changes And Enforcement
Changes in family life are common. When those changes impact legal agreements, it’s important to know your options. Below are some common questions clients ask.
How does child support enforcement work in Texas?
Child support orders are legally binding. If a parent fails to pay, the receiving parent may file a motion for enforcement. This can lead to wage garnishment, license suspension or even jail in extreme cases. Courts take these violations seriously, especially when they impact a child’s basic needs.
How soon after the entry of an order can a person request a modification?
Under Texas law, modifications involving child custody or support generally require that at least one year to have passed since the last order. However, exceptions may apply if there is an immediate risk to the child’s health or safety. A modification attorney can explain if a case qualifies.
The custodial parent wants to move away. What can I do?
In most cases, court approval is needed for relocation. If the move impacts your visitation or custody rights, you can file to stop the relocation, enforce a geographic restriction, or request a change in custody. The court will review whether the move is in the child’s best interest.
What if my child wants to live with me full-time?
If your child is 12 or older, the court may consider their preference. This does not guarantee a change but can influence the outcome. A custody modification lawyer can help you file the right documents and prepare your case.
