Does she have a chance for a modification only 1 1/2 years into an order?

Orders been in place for 1 1/2 years. I am suppose to carry health insurance but new job has no coverage. Been shopping around but everythings an arm and a leg.

Current with payments. Right now paying 547.00 per month. Was making $52K per year, now making $75K per year. No unemployment. Just changed jobs in July. I think my ex is going to try for a modification.

What step are required to have child support modified in the state of Texas. Is it something that can be orchestrated by an individual. If there is a substantial change in NCP income, how long do I have to wait to modify. (I'm talking $20K per year)

Today I received my final decree in the mail to sign. I gave my almost exhusband a courtesy call to let him know I was signing the paper and that contrary to our gentlemens agreement, child support would be withheld from him pay check. (He had been sporatically giving me $50 every week.) He...

Also, yes his ignorance is my bliss but actually it is just a matter of where he would rather spend his money. I may not be able to access any of his funds but through his ignorance, I can monitor his spending. In the last 30 days he has spent over $2000.00 (not an exxageration) in a casino...

I knew that he would eventually have to know. He is well aware of where I am and so far has made no attempt to change the situation nor has he in anyway financially supported either one of us in the past 4 months. I am hoping that will help in giving jurisdiction to Texas. Earlier this year I...

I moved to Texas 4 months ago from another state. I have heard that after 6 months I can file for a divorce without informing my spouse. Is that true? I also have a minor child with this spouse. After 6 months and I file for divorce which state has jurisdiction over my minor child?

Can you really spend the night in jail in lieu of paying a fine?

Over the past 6 years, I have managed to get 4 traffic tickets in the state of Texas, none of which did I pay. I have bench warrants in 4 different counties. I am trying to straighten my life up and become an unwanted person. I do not have the money to pay the fines in full. What are my options...
