How Can an Experienced Divorce Attorney Help Me Through the Divorce Process?
Going through a divorce is one of the most difficult things a person and a family can face. Emotions are often running high, with spousal conflict and concern for children combining to raise stress levels to overwhelming levels. A skilled divorce attorney like those at the law firm of South TX Family Law can take on some of the burdens of dividing assets, working out child custody agreements, and ensuring that you and your children have the support you need, both during and after the divorce. We will handle communicating with your spouse, if necessary, and will work to find a positive outcome for you and your children involved. Our attorneys have years of experience in handling divorce cases like yours, and we are skilled at minimizing conflict and maximizing positive results.


Can Your Attorneys Help Us Work Out Child Custody Arrangements?
The attorneys at the South TX Family Law Firm have the knowledge and the skill to help your family find the best answers to your child custody and child support questions. We keep the best interests of the child in mind at all times, of course, but we also strive to ensure that your child custody arrangement works for both parents, as well. We can help with parenting time arrangements, supervised visitation (if necessary), modifications to previous child custody arrangements, and any other issues that come up as you work out the best plan for your family’s current needs. We care about father’s rights, mother’s rights and co-parenting whenever possible, although we realize that sometimes for the safety of the children, one parent or the other requires more boundaries so we can also help with restraining orders. Even when there is disagreement about the details, we find that most often both parents want what is best for their children. Our attorneys have the tools to help you come to a child custody agreement that meets that goal and considers your needs, too. In mediation, we excel at crafting creative, customized solutions for families facing the difficult hurdles of addiction, personality disorders, or mental illness–ensuring the safety and stability your children need while protecting your rights and looking out for your economic welfare.

Are Trusts Just for the Wealthy?
While trusts are certainly a stellar vehicle for wealth management for high-net-worth individuals, trusts can also provide excellent financial security for individuals and families of more modest means, particularly military families. Whether your goal is to transfer wealth with as little tax penalty and potential for loss as possible, to provide for a loved one with special needs, or to protect your assets when you or your spouse need long-term nursing home care, a trust can work to your advantage. Our knowledgeable and experienced estate planning attorneys can guide you into the kinds of trusts or alternatives that best suit your specific needs. We do not use a cookie-cutter approach; instead, we identify the right tool for your family’s unique situation, whether that may be one of the many different kinds of trusts, or a standalone Will, or a family partnership or LLC arrangement or a combination. We customize your estate plan to transfer wealth seamlessly from one generation to the next.
