Family law issues can affect your children, finances, property, and future. Whether you’re considering divorce, dealing with a custody dispute, seeking support modifications, or planning an adoption, having the right legal guidance can make all the difference.

Our firm handles a wide range of family law matters throughout Houston and the surrounding communities. Explore the practice areas below to learn more about how we can help.

Divorce

Contested and uncontested divorce throughout Greater Houston. Whether you’re filing first, you’ve just been served, or your spouse has been threatening for years, we’ll walk you through your real options – including paths that don’t involve a contested trial. Texas is a community property state, a no-fault state with fault grounds, and a state with a mandatory 60-day waiting period. Strategy starts before the petition is filed.

Child Custody

Conservatorship, possession schedules, geographic restrictions, and trial advocacy. Texas calls it “conservatorship and possession” – but you call it custody, and the decisions made here shape the next 18 years of your relationship with your child. We handle both the negotiation table and the trial when negotiation fails.

Complex Property Division

High-asset divorces involving businesses, professional practices, executive compensation, real estate portfolios, retirement plans, and separate-property tracing. The lawyer who treats a $50,000 estate and a $5 million estate the same way will cost you real money.

Modifications

Updating custody, support, or visitation orders when life changes. Texas has a strict “material and substantial change” standard. The right time to file isn’t always obvious – and waiting too long can hurt your case as much as filing too early.

Visitation Rights

Enforcing and expanding your court-ordered time with your children. Texas calls it “possession and access,” and the Standard Possession Order is just the starting point – many parents qualify for the Expanded SPO without realizing it.

Child Support

Establishing, calculating, and modifying support under Texas guidelines. Most clients are surprised by how much income counts as “net resources” – and by the statutory cap that limits guideline support for high earners.

Enforcements

Holding the other party accountable when court orders are violated. Texas family courts can order make-up time, money judgments, license suspensions, and jail time for contempt – but only when the enforcement motion is pled correctly.

Paternity

Establishing legal fatherhood and the rights that follow – custody, support, decision-making. In Texas, a biological father has *no* legal rights to his child until paternity is formally established by AOP or court order.

Adoptions

Stepparent, relative, and adult adoptions. Most adoptions require terminating one or both prior parents’ rights first – and getting that piece wrong unravels everything later.

Stepparent Adoption & Termination

The combined termination-and-adoption process. We handle voluntary relinquishments, contested terminations, and every step of the stepparent adoption.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements

Premarital and marital property agreements that actually hold up under Texas law. We draft, negotiate, review, and (when necessary) challenge them.

Spousal Maintenance

Texas has some of the most restrictive spousal maintenance laws in the country. Eligibility, amount, and duration are all capped by statute. Most clients are surprised by what Texas does – and doesn’t – allow.

Collaborative Divorce

A structured, out-of-court process under the Texas Collaborative Family Law Act. For couples who want privacy, dignity, and control over their own outcome – and the discipline of a no-litigation commitment.

Mediation

Most Texas family law cases settle in mediation. Preparation determines the outcome. We know the Houston-area mediators, what they’re good at, and how to assemble the case that produces the right settlement zone before the day starts.
