League City Family Law Attorney

Handling a Wide Range of
Family Law Matters

Family law covers a wide variety of legal issues beyond divorce and child custody. Divorce brings up issues of alimony and property division. Child custody raises issues of father’s rights, child support, visitation schedules, and legal decision-making (which is called conservatorship under Texas law). Divorce and child custody cases can have a serious impact on your relationship with your child for years to come. Unlike civil cases, in which a person can be compensated, no amount of money will make up for the detrimental impact an unfair custody order can have on the parent-child relationship. This is why it is so important to work with an attorney to protect your legal rights as a parent.

Family law cases can also affect your personal finances for years to come. Many clients must file for bankruptcy or debt relief in order to get a fresh financial start after a divorce. Some suffer for years under the terms of a burdensome alimony or child support order. These can be modified based upon a change in your circumstances, and it is important to consult with an experienced family law attorney about your right to get relief from an overly burdensome support obligation.
