Here is an example of a Suit Affecting Parent Child Relationship that Divorce Lawyers has filed in the past:

Child’s Property

There has been no change of consequence in the status of the child’s property since the prior order was rendered.

Modification of Conservatorship, Possession and Access

The order to be modified is not based on a mediated or collaborative law settlement agreement. The circumstances of the child, a conservator, or other party affected by the order to be modified have materially and substantially changed since the date of rendition of the order to be modified.

Counterpetitioner requests that she be appointed as the person who has the right to designate the primary residency of the child.

Counterrespondent has a history or pattern of committing family violence during the two-year period preceding the date of filing of this suit. Counterpetitioner requests the Court to deny Counterrespondent access to the child. Alternatively, if the Court finds that awarding Counterrespondent access to the child would not endanger the child’s physical health or emotional welfare and would be in the best interest of the child, Counterpetitioner requests that the Court render a possession order that is designed to protect the well-being of the child and any other person who has been a victim of family violence committed by Counterrespondent, including but not limited to ordering that the periods of access be continuously supervised by an entity or person chosen by the Court, ordering that the exchange of possession of the child occur in a protective setting, ordering Counterrespondent to refrain from the consumption of alcohol or a controlled substance within the twenty-four hours before or during the period of access to the child, and ordering Counterrespondent to attend and complete a battering intervention and prevention program or, if such a program is not available, to complete a course of treatment with a mental health professional in accordance with section 153.010 of the Texas Family Code.

The requested modification is in the best interest of the child.

Support

The order to be modified is not based on a mediated or collaborative law settlement agreement. The circumstances of the children or a person affected by the orders have materially and substantially changed since the date of the rendition of the orders to be modified, and the support payments previously ordered should be changed to order Counterrespondent to pay child support, and health insurance premiums for coverage. The support payments previously ordered are not in substantial compliance with the guidelines in chapter 154 of the Texas Family Code, and the requested change would be in the best interest of the child. Counterpetitioner requests that any change be made retroactive to the earlier of the time of service of citation on Counterrespondent or the appearance of Counterrespondent in this modification action.

In the alternative, the circumstances of the child or a person affected by the order have materially and substantially changed since the date of the rendition of the order to be modified, and the support payments previously ordered should be decreased. The support payments previously ordered are not in substantial compliance with the guidelines in chapter 154 of the Texas Family Code, and the requested decrease would be in the best interest of the child. Counterpetitioner requests that any decrease be made retroactive to the earlier of the time of service of citation on Counterrespondent or the appearance of Counterrespondent in this modification action.

The requested modification is in the best interest of the child.

Request for Temporary Orders

Counterpetitioner requests the Court, after notice and hearing, to make temporary orders for the safety and welfare of the child, including but not limited to the following:

Appointing Counterpetitioner and Counterrespondent temporary joint managing conservators and designating Counterpetitioner as the conservator who has the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the child.

Ordering Counterrespondent to pay child support while this case is pending.

Ordering the preparation of a social study into the circumstances and condition of the child who is the subject of the suit or a party to the suit and the home of any person requesting conservatorship of, possession of, or access to the child.

Ordering the psychological evaluation of the child.

With regard to the requested temporary order for managing conservatorship, Counterpetitioner would show the Court the following:

These temporary orders are necessary because the child’s present circumstances would significantly impair the child’s physical health or emotional development.
