The Following Services

Divorce

Compassionate strategy with a focus on practical results.

  • Uncontested & contested divorces; mediation-first approach where appropriate
  • Temporary orders for parenting time, exclusive use of the home/vehicles, and support during the case
  • Property division: identify community vs. separate property, business interests, retirement accounts, and real estate
  • Spousal maintenance (when applicable) and creative settlement options
  • QDRO coordination for retirement division, deed transfers, and title/financial account changes
  • Trial-ready preparation if settlement isn’t possible

Goal: Reduce conflict, protect children, and reach a settlement that is enforceable and sustainable.

Child Custody (Conservatorship & Possession)

A parenting plan built around your child’s best interests.

  • Establish or modify legal decision-making rights and duties (education, medical, extracurriculars)
  • Possession schedules: Standard Possession Order (SPO) or customized plans for work travel, infants, or long-distance parents
  • Primary residence designations, geographic restrictions, and relocation issues
  • Modifications when circumstances materially and substantially change
  • Enforcement of existing orders when a parent won’t comply

Goal: Clear, workable orders that reduce day-to-day friction and support your child’s stability.

Child Support

Right-sized support that your family can rely on.

  • Calculate guideline support and evaluate deviations for special circumstances
  • Allocate medical/dental insurance and uninsured expense sharing
  • Withholding orders and payment accounting setup
  • Modifications after income or parenting-time changes
  • Enforcement of arrears, liens, and remedies available under Texas law

Goal: Predictable support that meets children’s needs and is straightforward to administer.

Adoptions

Bringing families together—securely and smoothly.

  • Stepparent and relative/kinship adoptions
  • Termination of parental rights when required and coordination with necessary consents
  • Guidance on home studies, background checks, and court hearings
  • Name changes, new birth certificates, and post-adoption documentation

Goal: A complete, court-approved adoption with every detail handled from start to finish.

Guardianships

Protection for loved ones who need help with personal or financial decisions.

  • Guardianship of the person (care, housing, medical) and guardianship of the estate (money and property) for minors or incapacitated adults
  • Exploration of alternatives when appropriate (powers of attorney, supported decision-making, representative payee)
  • Court filings, bonds, and annual reporting/accountings
  • Coordination with physicians, schools, and financial institutions

Goal: The least-restrictive, legally sound solution that keeps your loved one safe and supported.

How we work

  • Listen first. We clarify goals, timelines, and budget—then map a strategy.
  • Plan the path. We prepare documents, gather evidence, and negotiate from a position of readiness.
  • Resolve smart. We aim for settlement where possible and litigate when necessary.
