Comprehensive Family Law Services in Texas

Family law can be complex and intricate, requiring knowledge and insight into the laws and how Texas family courts operate and view various issues. 

These issues can include: 

• Divorce Proceedings and Asset Division in Texas

  The dissolution of marriage involves many considerations, including the division of assets and debts, alimony, and in some cases, child custody and support. Each divorce case is unique and may involve complex legal negotiations or court proceedings.

• Child Custody: Advocating for Your Child's Best Interests

  Arguably one of the most emotional aspects of family law, child custody involves making decisions in the child’s best interests. This can include determining physical and legal custody, visitation rights, and even relocation issues.

• Spousal Support: Understanding Alimony in Texas

  Also known as alimony, this involves financial support from one spouse to another after a divorce. Various factors, such as the length of the marriage, earning capacity, standard of living, and more, are considered when determining spousal support.

• Equitable Property Division During Texas Divorces

  In the event of a divorce, assets acquired during the marriage must be divided. This can include homes, vehicles, retirement accounts, businesses, and more. The property division process can be complex, especially when dealing with substantial assets or debts.

• Child Support: Ensuring Your Child's Financial Stability

  Child support is a financial obligation paid by a noncustodial parent to the custodial parent to provide for the needs of their child (or children). This includes covering food, clothing, healthcare, and education costs. The amount is typically determined by the court and is based on factors like the income of both parents, the number of children, and the child’s specific needs per the Texas Attorney General’s Office).

• Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements: Securing Your Financial Future

  These agreements are legal contracts entered into by a couple before or after marriage. They outline how assets and debts will be divided in the event of a divorce, separation, or death. They can also specify financial responsibilities during the marriage. They are especially pertinent when one or both parties have significant assets, children from previous relationships, or own a business.

• Modifications of Court Orders: Adapting to Life Changes

  Circumstances change, and when they do, existing court orders may no longer be suitable or fair. In these cases, requesting a modification to an existing court order, such as child custody, visitation, or support, is possible. This usually requires showing a significant change in circumstances since the original order was made.

• Enforcement of Court Orders: Upholding Your Legal Rights

  If a party fails to comply with a court order related to family law, such as not paying child support or breaching custody arrangements, enforcement action may be necessary. This could involve wage garnishment, property liens, or even jail time for non-compliant parties. Enforcement ensures that court orders are followed and that the rights and needs of the involved parties are protected.

• Adoption Services: Growing Your Family in Texas

  Expanding your family can be done through private placement agencies, Child Protective Services (CPS), or direct placement between adoptive parents and birth parents. Adoptions must comply with all state laws and regulations, and the process can be lengthy and often stressful.
