Changing Child Support We're In This Together

Changing Child Support in Texas

Let Our Austin Lawyers Help Modify Your Court Order

Once a court has issued a child support order, it governs unless a parent proves there has been a significant change in circumstance that directly impacts the children in question.

This is typically done through proving that the circumstances of the parent or child have materially and substantially changed, as well as that the requested modification is in the child’s best interest.

The Austin child support attorneys at Andrae Law have over three decades of experience helping families like yours.

Shape the future you want, and contact us today at (512) 668-7133.

Changes in Financial Support

There is another category of child support modification that doesn’t impact visitation or primary custody agreements but instead reevaluates child support payments. A judge can review the child support amount to ensure it is still in compliance with the Texas child support guidelines three years after the last order date.

This review can be requested by the receiving parent hoping to raise child support or the paying parent attempting to lower child support or the Attorney General’s Office.

  • "Amanda is the one to call!"

    I cannot recommend Amanda Andrae highly enough! From the very beginning, she demonstrated an incredible depth of experience in my child custody matters, guiding me through every step with professionalism and care. They truly took the time to understand my situation with my ex, offering thoughtful advice while always keeping my children’s best interests at heart.

    What stood out most was their balance of compassion and strength—providing the support I needed while being firm and strategic when it mattered most. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, I felt confident and well-represented throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for an attorney who genuinely cares but will also fight for you, Amanda is the one to call!

  • "This firm has my highest recommendation."
    Amanda Andrae is one of my preferred mediators. She WILL settle the case! J. Riggs is one of my preferred attorneys. I know when I recommend him to people that he will do a great job representing them. This firm has my highest recommendation.

  • "Deeply moved by your incredible generosity"

    Amanda, "Thank you" is insufficient, as I am deeply moved by your incredible generosity. Your support, along with Joan and Alex, has been beyond remarkable. I don't know how I would've gotten through this experience without all of you. You and Joan are just as much therapists as you are lawyers. You both fought for me and didn't let me back down when I was emotionally exhausted but you did so with respect and integrity. You provided me with the validation I needed when I doubted myself. I now carry this forward with me and the value of such is priceless. You turned one of the worst experiences of my life into one of my proudest. As a result of the dedication and unwavering support I received from you both, my family will forever be shaped for the better. In sincere gratitude, I wish you all the best.

  • "They were great with communication"
    I am very pleased with Andrae Law. I got divorced and had a child custody matter I needed help with and they handled it. They were very direct with what my options were. If I was confused about something they were very good about explaining the process and what had to be done. They were great with communication, via email and phone. I've had attorneys in the past that wouldn't return my call for up to a week, I was very happy that didn't happen with this firm. I feel I definitely got my money's worth. I highly recommend Amanda Andrae & Sally Pretorius with Andrae Law.

  • "Great family lawyer"
    I hired Amanda Andrae to help me with a child conservator issue. I had orders in place already regarding custody and child support but I needed to change them to sole conservatorship in order to take care of everything for my daughter in the complete absence of her father. I knew that changing orders was very difficult and would be even more so without being able to locate the father to serve him. I had also had a terrible experience with the lawyer who wrote the original orders and felt very uncomfortable undergoing the process again. I researched and chose Amanda and her firm carefully and I am so glad I did. Amanda figured out exactly what needed to be done, inspired confidence and calm in me, and took me through the long process with the exact end result I needed for my daughter's safety and best interests. The new orders are perfect, thoughtfully written to reflect our situation rather than boilerplate, and have already worked wonders. With them, I was able to get my daughter a passport and give her school authority to turn away her father if he tried to come pick her up. I feel immense peace of mind knowing my daughter is safe.
