What if I dont like the visitation schedule that the court ordered, can I get it changed?
You can certainly request the court to modify its previous order. As with most things regarding children in the Texas Family Code, the possession order may be modified so long as such modification is in the best interest of the children. One of the more common areas of modification that a parent seeks to modify is the place of exchange for the children. Oftentimes, a parent will want to have the exchange place be some where midway between each parents home in order to lessen the amount of travelling and maximize the time each parent has with the child. This may seem like a small matter but with the fluctuating prices in gasoline, it could have a significant impact one way or another. In some cases, a parent becomes tired of getting ready for visits that never happen. Excuses are made, but the harm to the child is done. In that instance, the custodial parent seeks to reduce the non-custodial parents periods of visitation. In other cases, a non-custodial parent is being denied visitation
