Guiding You Through Your Melissa Family Law Issues

Some people believe that family law attorneys only handle divorces, but family law is a broad term that covers a wide variety of issues. Our focused knowledge and significant experience handling these matters skillfully mean we can handle even the most complex cases for you, including:

• Divorce: Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, you need skilled legal representation to ensure that your rights and best interests are protected. We will guide you through every step, helping you make tough choices with confidence.
• Child custody and parenting plans: Whether part of a divorce or an unmarried separation, parents need to make detailed arrangements that outline how their children will be raised. We handle a wide variety of issues related to custody, including legal and physical custody, visitation, and parental rights to children with special needs, we will help you create comprehensive plans that serve your children's best interests.
• Property division: The debts and assets you acquire while married are usually considered community property in Texas, although some exceptions apply. Dividing them equitably is often the source of bitter conflicts during divorce. We will fight to see you get your fair share.
• Spousal and child support: Spousal support is sometimes awarded in a divorce. The amount and duration are determined using case-specific factors. Whether you are being asked to pay or are seeking alimony, we are effective advocates. Child support is a mandatory part of a parental separation or divorce. The amounts are calculated using a standard formula, although you may need a variation.
• Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: We can help you draft a comprehensive, binding prenuptial or postnuptial agreement, or we can review one you are being asked to sign to be sure that it does not infringe on your rights or best interests. We can also help you uphold or dispute these marital contracts during a divorce.
• Establishing or disputing legal paternity: Unwed mothers seeking child support must first establish the biological father's paternity. Sometimes, a mother might ask you to pay child support for a child you think does not belong to you. In other cases, you may be a father wanting parental rights for your child. Whatever your issue, we are prepared to assist.
• Grandparent or stepparent adoptions: Sometimes, adoptions are needed to serve a child's best interests. This may require the severing of a parent's rights. We can help you navigate the challenges associated with adoption.
• Modifications and enforcement: Orders created during a divorce or child-related matter are enforceable. You may need to request a modification if you are no longer able to fulfill your obligations, or you might need help enforcing your existing orders. Let us help you accomplish your goals through the proper channels.
