Our firm represents clients across the spectrum of family law, including the following:
- Divorce: skillfully conducted direct negotiations settle most disputes in divorce, but if the other party refuses a reasonable settlement, our skilled trial lawyers are prepared to take your case to court in order to protect your interests.
- Child custody: we strive to protect your parental rights as we work to safeguard the best interests of your child. In Texas, if one spouse is granted custody under a temporary order, it is likely that person will get permanent custody when the divorce decree is issued. Standard visitation schedules can be modified with appropriate special circumstances.
- Child support: this is determined by statutory formula, however exceptions to the formula can be made. A skilled attorney understands how to present facts about income and expenses in order to obtain favorable results.
- Property division: Texas is a community property state. Division of community property can be complicated, especially when business interests, real estate and agricultural interests, retirement accounts and 401(k) accounts are involved.
- Alimony: clients in certain circumstances will be able to get temporary alimony, especially if they have abandoned or delayed a career for the sake of the marriage or family.
- Mediation: an important step in the divorce process. Your attorney's role is to advocate your position to the mediator.
- Modifications: post-divorce modifications to child support, child custody and other aspects of the court's orders. Consult an attorney earlier rather than later in order to avoid contempt or enforcement actions.
