Texas Family Law encompasses divorce, custody, community and separate property, child support, paternity, and prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.

DIVORCE

If you are contemplating a divorce, you will best serve your interests and those of any children by consulting with a divorce attorney as early as possible in the process. Divorce impacts many aspects of your life and proper prior planning is essential to ensure the best outcome.

While a quick and amicable resolution is preferred and can sometimes be achieved, it is not always possible. Usually one or both parties are hurt or angry. It can be difficult for someone to think as clearly as they normally would. This will impact your financial situation, relationship with your children and the division of community property.  Besides helping you understand the legal intricacies of divorce, I will counsel you as to realistic expectations during the process. Experienced legal counsel is one of your best strategies to help you get on with your life.

CHILD CUSTODY

There are few areas of life that evoke stronger feelings than those involving the safety and wellbeing of children. The best interests of the children are of paramount importance before, during and after a divorce. Unfortunately, there are many situations where one or both parents disregard this for the sake of personal gain or “punishment” of the other parent. This is unfortunate, as the ones really hurt are the children.

As a diligent and experienced divorce attorney, I will urge you to keep your focus on the best interests of the children. I have found it helps to insulate your children, as well as possible, from the details of the conflict and strong emotions of the parents. Children also need frequent contact and good relations with both parents, whenever feasible.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to change a custody agreement, visitation agreement, or increase or decrease child support. The desired end result is to have a functional agreement in place with as little time and expense as possible.
