Practice Areas
Family Law
The practice of family law in Texas involves a multitude of different issues and my practice is mostly related to matters pertaining to family law. I am here to help you in what may be the most difficult of times.
Divorce
As an AV rated Texas family law attorney, I represent men and women throughout the divorce process, from the initial filing through final judgment and requests for modification or enforcement of final orders.
Child Custody
I will help you establish and implement custody and access agreements that are in the best interests of everyone involved, with the focus on the needs of your children.
Child Support
The calculation of child support does not always fall within the Child Support Guidelines either because of unusual circumstances or because the amount of Net Resource Income exceeds the amount to which the percentage is usually applied. I will discuss your circumstances with you to assist you in determining which amount of child support is likely to be applied in your case.
Modifications
As circumstances change in the lives of ex-spouses, modifications of child custody, visition, child support or spousal support are often needed. This may happen if jobs are lost, jobs change or opportunities exist in other states.
Interstate Family Law
Family law cases involving parents living in different states are becoming more and more common and I have the expertise to assist you in yoru interstate custody dispute.
Pre Marital Agreements
A premarital agreement is a contract between persons about to marry which may serve a variety of purposes including not only preserving a person’s separate property but also recharacterizing the income from separate property to community property or entirely eliminating the accumulation of community property during a marriage. Each agreement is tailored to fit the needs of the persons to be married. There are many factors to consider in preparing a premarital agreement and I have prepared many such agreements throughout the years of my practice.
Post Marital Agreements
A post marital agreement is intended to effect an exchange of existing community property between spouses such that the exchanged property becomes the separate property of the spouse. It differs from a premarital agreement in several important respects.
