Addressing Divorce and Related Issues

Divorce is one of the key issues addressed in family court. The legal dissolution of a marriage will involve several complex concerns that need to be delicately handled. Factors to address during a divorce may include:

• Property division: In Texas, marital property is distributed between divorcing spouses based on community property laws. A couple will need to address all of the assets and debts they have accumulated during their marriage. The Ramage Law Group has extensive experience in these matters, and we can help determine which assets are considered community property versus separate property. Our legal team skillfully handles negotiations to ensure an equitable distribution of marital property. We can address issues related to high-value assets, real estate, business interests, financial investments, or retirement accounts.
• Spousal support: Determining whether financial support should be paid by one spouse to the other can be a contentious issue. The Ramage Law Group assists clients in navigating the complexities of spousal support, advocating for fair arrangements based on the duration of the marriage, each spouse's financial needs, their respective earning capacities, and other relevant factors.
• Prenuptial agreements: Legal agreements made by spouses before getting married can protect each party's financial interests and help avoid conflict during a divorce. The Ramage Law Group can help determine how an existing prenup may affect the divorce process, and we can ensure that terms related to property division or spousal support are carried out correctly.

Child-Related Legal Matters

Issues involving children are treated with the highest priority and sensitivity in family court, focusing on the best interests of the child. We can help families understand the best ways to address matters such as:

• Child custody and child support: The Ramage Law Group helps parents establish appropriate arrangements for conservatorship and visitation, and we work to ensure that our clients can reach agreements that will protect their parental rights and preserve important family relationships. We can also help establish support payments that will ensure that parents share the costs of raising their children.
• Parental relocation: If a parent wishes to move with their child, they may need to receive approval from the court, and in some cases, the other parent may object to these relocation plans. Our attorneys provide counsel on how child custody and visitation may be affected in these cases, and we help ensure that the solutions put in place will protect children's best interests.
• Paternity: Establishing legal relationships between parents and children is a foundational step in securing parental rights for unmarried parents. It also ensures that the child can receive child support and other benefits. The Ramage Law Group helps clients establish paternity and resolve any disputes that may arise during this process.
• Fathers' rights and grandparents' rights: The Ramage Law Group advocates for fathers who are seeking to establish or maintain significant roles in their children's lives. We also assist grandparents in taking steps to maintain relationships with their grandchildren after a divorce or separation.
• Adoption: Our firm handles various types of adoptions, including private, agency, and step-parent adoptions. We can ensure that all legal requirements are met, and we will work to complete the process smoothly while addressing any issues that may arise.
