FAMILY AND
DIVORCE LAWYERS

Whether you're facing a contested or uncontested divorce, our attorneys guide you through every stage of the process. We handle property division, spousal support, debt allocation, and all related matters. In contested cases where agreements cannot be reached, we prepare thoroughly for trial and advocate aggressively for your interests in court.

For high-net-worth divorces involving complex assets, business interests, or substantial retirement accounts, we work with forensic accountants and valuation experts to ensure accurate asset identification and equitable distribution.

Texas courts determine custody based on the best interests of the child, considering factors including each parent's ability to provide stability, any history of family violence, and the preferences of children aged 12 and older. We represent parents in custody disputes, helping negotiate parenting plans or litigating when necessary to protect your parental rights.

The non-custodial parent typically receives visitation time on a court-approved schedule. We ensure visitation arrangements are fair and enforceable, and we can seek modifications when circumstances change significantly.

Texas is a community property state. Assets acquired during marriage are generally considered community property subject to division, regardless of whose name appears on title documents. Separate property—acquired before marriage or received as a gift or inheritance—typically remains with the original owner.

We handle complex property division cases involving allegedly commingled assets, business valuations, real estate holdings, retirement benefits, and more. Our goal is to ensure you receive your fair share of marital property while protecting assets that rightfully belong to you alone.

Child support obligations in Texas are calculated based on the paying parent's income and the number of children. We represent parents seeking to establish, enforce, or modify child support orders. If you've experienced a substantial change in income, employment status, or your child's needs, you may be eligible for a modification.

We also handle enforcement actions when a parent fails to pay court-ordered support, pursuing remedies including wage garnishment, contempt proceedings, and other legal measures to ensure compliance.

Spousal maintenance may be awarded in Texas divorces when one spouse lacks sufficient property or earning ability to meet basic needs. The court considers the length of the marriage, each spouse's financial resources, education, employment history, and contributions to the marriage.

We advocate for fair spousal support arrangements, whether you're seeking maintenance or defending against excessive support claims. We can also pursue modifications when circumstances change substantially after the divorce is finalized.

Prenuptial agreements allow couples to define property rights and financial arrangements before marriage, protecting separate assets and clarifying expectations. These agreements can address property division, spousal support, estate planning considerations, and business interests.

Postnuptial agreements serve similar purposes but are executed after marriage. We draft enforceable marital agreements that reflect your wishes and protect your financial interests, ensuring compliance with Texas law requirements.

Establishing paternity is essential for determining parental rights and child support obligations. We represent clients in paternity actions using DNA testing, acknowledgment of paternity forms, and court proceedings to legally establish parent-child relationships.

We also handle cases where paternity has been wrongly attributed, helping clients challenge incorrect determinations and seek relief from unwarranted child support obligations.

If you or your children face threats of family violence, a protective order can provide legal protection by prohibiting contact and establishing safety boundaries. We help victims of domestic violence obtain emergency and permanent protective orders.

We also defend clients wrongly accused in protective order proceedings, protecting their rights and reputations when false allegations are made.

When a former spouse violates court orders—whether failing to pay support, denying visitation, or ignoring property division terms—enforcement action may be necessary. We file motions to enforce divorce decrees and pursue contempt proceedings when appropriate.

Courts have significant enforcement powers including wage garnishment, property liens, and even jail time for willful violations. We ensure court orders are respected and enforced.

Many Texas family courts require mediation before trial. This process involves negotiating with a neutral third-party mediator to reach agreements on custody, support, and property division in a less adversarial setting.

We represent clients in mediation sessions, working toward favorable compromises when possible. If mediation proves unproductive, we're fully prepared to litigate your case in court.
