Motion Modification Process Steps
Summary
After filing a motion to modify and serving the other party in Texas, wait for their response, typically due within 20 days. You can begin preparing written discovery requests, such as interrogatories, requests for production, and requests for admissions, even before the other party files an answer. The discovery response time is usually 30 days. The court will notify you about the hearing date. If the other party does not respond within the expected timeframe, consider seeking legal advice for further action.Full Conversation
