How long does an uncontested child custody modification take in dallas county?

Even if the modification is agreed, you must file a Petition to Modify before an order can be presented to the Court.. Then present the filed Petition to your ex and ask your ex sign a waiver of service including waiver of notification of all proceedings and both of you sign the new order. Once everything is filed and signed, you may appear before your judge on a prove-up docket to have the modification order signed. Optimally, it could be done in a few days. CAVEAT: The Court could find your agreement is not in the best interest of the child and not sign the order. Any deviations from the best case scenario will add time to the process. You really should have an attorney draft the agreed order so that it is done properly. It may "look" easy but proper drafting is critical to an enforceable order.
