Family Law Issues Our Denton County Law Firm Can Help With

We are experienced in working with all types of families going through all types of family law proceedings. Family law issues we can help you with include:

• Divorce - Divorce is an incredibly common legal proceeding. Ending a nonviable marriage is considered a perfectly normal and proper thing to do in modern times. We will start by helping you decide whether to use collaborative divorce or divorce litigation.
• Marital asset division - In Texas, both spouses own half of all marital assets. Virtually anything you acquired after getting married will be considered a marital asset, with some limited exceptions. A 50/50 division is considered the standard. For older spouses, dividing the retirement savings may be a very high priority.
• Child custody - Child custody can be decided during a divorce or in an independent case brought by unmarried parents. Denton County courts use a list of factors to determine what arrangement would be best for the child. Those factors include things like the child's needs and wishes, and how well each parent can provide a stable home and meet the child's particular needs.
• Paternity - Fathers who wish to pursue custody and mothers who wish to pursue child support must begin by proving paternity. While paternity for unmarried parents is usually established by signing a Voluntary Acknowledgment of Paternity, it can also be established through court proceedings.
• Child support - Children have a legal right to be supported financially by both their parents. When one parent has exclusive or primary custody, the parent with less custody time or no custody rights may be ordered to pay child support. If your child is entitled to child support they are not receiving, there are a number of legal strategies for forcing payment.
• Grandparents' Rights - We can help grandparents who need to pursue custody or guardianship of their grandchildren in order to protect them from harmful or absent parents.
• Adoption - Adopting a child can be a beautiful way to become a parent for the first time or to expand your family. People choose adoption for many reasons. We are experienced in guiding families through the approval and adoption process. Whether you are seeking to adopt a child who is already related to you but does not have present and interested parents, or are seeking to become parents through agency or open adoption, we can help you along your journey.

We can help with almost any type of family law issue your family may be met with.
