Divorce: Helping You Move Toward a Stronger Future

Ending a marriage can reshape nearly every part of your life—your relationships, your finances, your stability, and your sense of direction. We work closely with you to help manage the legal side of divorce so you can focus on rebuilding and healing.


Our goal is to minimize conflict whenever possible while ensuring you walk away with the security and structure you need for the next chapter. Whether your divorce is amicable or contested, we ensure every issue is addressed with care and precision:


  • Property division
  • Spousal support
  • Child custody
  • Parenting agreements
  • Financial planning for life after divorce

We bring calm, confidence, and practical guidance to every stage of the process.

Property Division: Protecting What You’ve Built

Texas follows community property laws, which can make property division a point of stress and disagreement. We help you understand what is considered marital property, what may be separate property, and how to protect your financial future.


Whether your case involves a home, business interests, retirement accounts, investments, or personal belongings, we ensure your assets are properly identified, valued, and divided fairly. When hidden assets or complex finances are involved, we know how to uncover the information needed to protect your rights.

Spousal Support: Ensuring Financial Stability

Spousal support (also called spousal maintenance) can be a lifeline for individuals who need financial assistance as they transition after divorce. We help clients pursue or contest spousal support based on Texas law and your unique circumstances.


We advocate for support arrangements that are fair, reasonable, and reflective of your long-term needs and resources.

Custody, Rights & Duties of Parents, and Possession & Access

Nothing matters more than the well-being of your children. Whether you're negotiating an agreement or litigating a dispute, we always center your child's best interests.


We help you understand your parental rights and responsibilities so you can make informed decisions about:

  • Custody (conservatorship)
  • Possession & access schedules
  • Decision-making authority
  • Co-parenting communication
  • Relocation issues

Our goal is to create stability, predictability, and a plan that truly works for your family.

Child Support, Medical Support & Dental Support

Child support ensures your child has the financial resources they need to thrive. We help establish, modify, and enforce child support obligations that align with Texas guidelines and your family’s needs.


This includes:

  • Monthly child support
  • Medical support
  • Dental support

We also handle cases where support needs to be adjusted due to changes in income, job loss, new financial obligations, or evolving needs of the child.

Enforcement: When Court Orders Are Not Being Followed

If your former partner fails to follow an existing court order—whether it involves custody, child support, or property division—you deserve effective and timely enforcement.


We assist with:

  • Child support enforcement
  • Custody and visitation enforcement
  • Property division enforcement

When cooperation fails, we take steps to ensure court orders are respected and that your rights are protected.

Adoption and Termination of Parental Rights

Growing your family through adoption is a joyful experience, but the legal process can be complex. We guide you through every step, whether you're pursuing:


  • Stepparent adoption
  • Relative adoption
  • Private adoption

When a termination of parental rights is necessary for safety or stability, we handle these cases with sensitivity and precision.

Establishing Paternity: Giving Families Clarity and Security

Paternity establishes legal rights and responsibilities for both parents. We help mothers, fathers, and families navigate paternity issues to ensure children receive the support, access, and stability they deserve.

Interstate Orders: When Families Live Across State Linesy

Family situations don’t always stay confined to one state. When parents or children move out of Texas, questions can arise about jurisdiction, enforcement, and modification. We help you understand and navigate interstate issues under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) and related laws.

Modifications: When Life Changes, Court Orders May Need to Change Too

Over time, your needs and your children’s needs may shift. Custody schedules, child support, and possession arrangements may need to be updated.


We help modify existing orders when:


  • Income significantly changes
  • Children’s needs evolve
  • A parent relocates
  • Safety concerns arise

A court order shouldn’t trap you in a plan that no longer fits your life.

CALL TODAY

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Premarital and postmarital agreements help couples protect their assets and expectations before or during marriage. We draft, review, and negotiate agreements that promote transparency, fairness, and peace of mind—especially in blended families or situations involving significant assets.
