Divorce, Custody and Family Issues
Divorce
Our attorneys have a tremendous amount of experience handling complex marital dissolution cases. While we generally try to resolve any differences with an agreement, when that is not appropriate, our seasoned trial attorneys will seek the necessary relief from the court. Our client's issues often involve contested custody of the children, complex property characterization, valuation, and division, possession schedules for the children, substance abuse and family violence.
Allow us to use our experience with these difficult issues by discussing your case with you at our Uptown Dallas location.
Custody
When a divorcing couple has children, it adds another dimension to a divorce case. Specifically, conservatorship (awarding rights and duties with regard to the children) and possession (amount of time with the children) are often at issue. In Texas, there are two distinct types of conservatorship-Joint Managing and Sole Managing. While Joint Managing conservatorship is generally presumed by the law to be appropriate, some times the facts of a specific case necessitate that Sole Managing Conservatorship be sought by a client. Our clients are given the necessary information to make informed decisions about these rights and duties. Further, our attorneys will plan a strategy to regain or keep custody if that is the desire of the individual client.
In Texas, the Standard Possession Order is presumed appropriate for children over the age of 3 years old. However, many of our clients elect to have a customized possession schedule to better fit their children and the work schedule of the parents. Our firm is dedicated to working toward a possession schedule that meets your goals.
