I was served to reduce child support in Tx for the 3rd time within a 4 year period. The last time I did not have counsel.

It's hard to tell from your question exactly what you think the other attorney did wrong, but it sounds like you very much need legal counsel.

You might want to consider making your own motion to modify child support and seek to have it increased. I practice family law in Harris County and nearby counties.

Specifically, if a modification is requested within 3 years the requesting party must show "materially and substantial" change in circumstnaces of any party involved in the case.
