Family Law 

Family law is complex due to its intricate nature. The high stakes involved, and the weight of decisions made in these cases can significantly affect the overall well-being of family members, potentially leading to long-lasting repercussions that extend beyond the immediate situation.

How do I know if I need a Family Law Attorney? 

There are various situations in which hiring a family law attorney can benefit you. Texas family law statutes can be very confusing when trying to figure out your next move. Speaking to our attorney will allow him to interpret the law that applies to your particular situation. Anything as simple as an uncontested divorce may include complicated paperwork or complicated filing requirements. 

A family lawyer can provide invaluable assistance in ensuring your paperwork is thorough and submitted on time for your case. Their expertise becomes even more crucial, particularly in contested legal matters such as custody modifications or divorces. While trials are not always necessary, engaging in negotiations with the other party or their legal representation is common to seek a prompt resolution. By having an attorney by your side, you can navigate these discussions and any settlement proposals confidently, averting potential pitfalls that might arise if you were unrepresented.

Child Support 

In Texas, you are legally obligated to provide financial support for your child.
