Consultation

When family changes,your futureneeds a plan.

Most people arrive at family court exhausted and short on information. The first job is to slow the situation down and separate what is urgent from what is merely loud.

From there we build a plan: what you need to protect, what you can trade, and what is worth litigating.

Calm is a strategy. Judges notice which parent is organized, consistent and focused on the child rather than the conflict.

01

Children first

Texas courts decide conservatorship, possession and access by the best interest of the child. We build the record that supports your role.

02

Financial clarity

Property characterization, support, and disclosure disputes decide the practical outcome as much as the courtroom argument does.

03

Safety matters

Where family violence is involved, protective orders and immediate safety planning come before anything else.

Questions

Answers first.

Texas requires a waiting period of at least 60 days in most divorces. Contested matters involving children or property commonly take longer.

No. Texas law directs courts to decide conservatorship and possession by the best interest of the child, without a presumption based on gender.

Orders can be modified when circumstances have materially and substantially changed. The standard is specific, so bring documentation.

Many family matters resolve through negotiation or mediation. Preparing as though a case will be tried is what makes settlement terms reasonable.
