Here are some frequently asked questions about family law in Texas.

  • What types of family law cases do you handle?

    We handle divorce, child custody, adoption, spousal support, and more. Our approach focuses on creating practical solutions tailored to your family’s unique needs. From amicable agreements to contested issues, we provide experienced representation for every step of the legal process.

  • How does child custody work in Texas?

    In Texas, custody arrangements focus on the best interests of the child. Courts consider factors like each parent’s ability to provide a stable environment, the child’s relationship with each parent, and their educational or medical needs. We work to develop custody solutions that meet your child’s needs while protecting your parental rights.

  • Do I need an attorney for a divorce?

    Yes, an attorney ensures your rights are protected and helps you navigate complex issues like property division, spousal support, and child custody. We work to create fair agreements and represent your interests throughout the divorce process, minimizing stress and ensuring your future is secure.

  • How is spousal support determined in Texas?

    Spousal support, or alimony, is based on factors like the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial resources, and the ability to become self-supporting. Our attorneys analyze your situation and advocate for fair spousal support arrangements that reflect your circumstances and goals.

  • What is the process for adoption in Texas?

    Adoption involves several steps, including background checks, home studies, and court approvals. We guide you through the process, ensuring legal requirements are met while providing support to make your adoption experience as smooth as possible. Our goal is to help you grow your family with confidence.

  • What if my spouse and I agree on everything?

    If you and your spouse agree on all terms, we can help you create a legally binding agreement that reflects your mutual decisions. This approach often saves time and reduces stress, allowing you to move forward quickly and amicably.

  • Can grandparents seek custody in Texas?

    In certain circumstances, grandparents can seek custody or visitation rights. Courts typically consider situations where grandparents have acted as primary caregivers or when parental custody would harm the child. We help grandparents navigate these sensitive cases with care and diligence.

  • How long does a family law case take?

    Timelines vary depending on case complexity. For example, uncontested divorces can be resolved in a few months, while contested cases may take longer. During your consultation, we’ll provide a clear timeline tailored to your case.
