- You've been served divorce papers: Even if you knew that your marriage was in trouble, it can be an overwhelming experience when you are finally served the papers. An experienced attorney can help you understand the process and your options.
- Divorce in Texas: Divorce can be an emotional experience. However, millions of people have made it through the divorce process, and you will make it through yours as well.
- Community property division: I work with my clients to come up with property division agreements that work for every one involved.
- Child custody: I represent mothers, fathers, grandparents, and other interested parties in child custody matters.
- Visitation: I help my clients develop creative visitation schedules that enable them to preserve their relationships with their children.
- Fathers' rights: In Texas, there is no longer a presumption under the law that children will live with their mother after divorce.
- Texas child support guidelines: Determining the amount of support can be a difficult process. Working with an experienced attorney can ensure that you are paying or receiving the appropriate amount of support.
- Child custody modifications: Child custody and possession orders can change after divorce, just as your family can change.
- Child support modifications: I represent clients in the Richardson-Plano area who seek both increases and reductions in child support.
- Grandparent rights: A grandparent who plays a significant role in the lives of their grandchild is providing a tremendous gift to their grandchild that will be treasured for a lifetime.
- Domestic violence: Are you staying in a relationship because you are afraid? In Texas, no one has to live this way.
- Stepparent adoptions in Texas: Helping a family adoption a child is one of the few times when everyone who walks into the courtroom can come out happy.
