A: I would suggest you read through your current court order because in most Texas standard orders, there are already provisions in place for parents to begin residing over 100 miles apart.

The range of modifications that can be made are all case specific, so I would suggest that you consult with a family law attorney to discuss your specific situation and what your options are.

Good luck to you.
