Nelson Law Roundup: 5 useful blog posts about modification suits – Life is fluid, but that doesn’t mean the court order that resolved your divorce is, too. In reality, court orders are meant to be permanent.

Modification suits are a big piece of what we do here at Nelson Law Group, PC in Flower Mound, TX, and we are proud to say our library of blog posts on this topic and more is as comprehensive as it gets.

This blog dives deeper into modification suits and how a court’s jurisdiction factors into any decisions that are made.
