Family Attorney Boerne TX

Navigate Life’s Turning Points with a Trusted Family Attorney by Your Side

Family law involves more than state statutes and courtrooms. It is about people: families who are navigating some of the most complex and emotionally charged issues they will ever face. Whether navigating a divorce, working out a child custody arrangement, establishing paternity, or seeking to protect yourself and your children from harm, your decisions now will have long-lasting consequences.

Our Boerne, TX, family law attorneys believe legal representation should be personal, strategic, and grounded in compassion and strength. We work closely with our clients to understand the reality of their lives, not just the legal frameworks that apply. When you work with us, you have an advocate who listens, advises, and fights for your future.

Helping Boerne Families Navigate Complex Legal Matters

Our firm provides representation in a wide range of family law matters. We take the time to understand your goals, explain your options clearly, and craft a strategy tailored to your situation. We commonly assist with areas that include the following:

Texas Divorce: Supportive, Strategic Representation

Divorce is never easy, no matter how amicable. The legal process touches every aspect of your life, including your finances, your home, your children, and your emotional well-being. Divorce in Texas can be contested or uncontested. The path you take will depend on whether you and your spouse can agree on the central issues, such as child custody, child support, property division, and spousal maintenance.

We help clients work through cooperative and high-conflict divorces. Our approach is practical and customized. While some clients need a fierce courtroom advocate, others seek a more collaborative route. In either case, we aim to provide clarity, protect your rights, and help you reach a resolution that allows you to move forward with confidence.

Child Custody and Parenting Plans: Prioritizing Your Children

Child custody disputes are among the most emotionally charged legal issues. Under Texas law, there are many ways in which courts may structure custody arrangements, depending on the best interests of the child.

We help clients develop parenting plans that work for their families, whether that involves joint custody, sole custody, or a tailored visitation schedule. Our firm can also assist with the enforcement of existing orders or modifications when significant changes in circumstances occur. Our goal is to minimize conflict and keep the focus on the child’s well-being.

Property Division: Protecting Your Financial Future

Texas is a community property state. Most property acquired during the marriage is jointly owned by both spouses. Property division during a divorce is not only about fairness. It is about securing your future.

We work with financial professionals when necessary to ensure complex estates are handled with accuracy and care. Our experienced family attorneys help clients identify, characterize, value, and divide property, including the following:

Real estate
Retirement accounts and pensions
Business interests
Investments
Debts and liabilities

Alimony (Spousal Maintenance): Know Your Rights and Obligations

Texas courts may award spousal maintenance in limited circumstances, depending on the needs of one spouse, the ability to pay off the other spouse, and other factors. Whether you are seeking alimony or defending against an unreasonable demand, we can evaluate the facts of your case, help you understand the law, and advocate for a result that aligns with your financial reality.

In determining spousal maintenance, Texas courts consider factors that include the following:

Duration of the marriage
Each spouse’s ability to provide for their needs
Education and employment skills of each spouse
Age and physical and emotional condition of each spouse
Effect of child support payments on the payor’s finances
Property brought into the marriage by either spouse
Contributions as a homemaker
Abnormal expenditures, destruction, concealment, or fraudulent disposition of community property
Marital misconduct during the marriage, including cruel treatment or adultery
History of family violence

Modification and Enforcement of Court Orders

Nothing in life stays the same. When significant changes occur, existing court orders may need to be modified. Examples of such changes include the loss of a job, relocation, or the changing needs of children regarding health and education. Our family attorneys help clients file a petition for modification of custody, visitation, and support orders. If the other party is not complying, we also help enforce existing orders. Modification and enforcement issues can arise months or years after the original orders were entered. Our firm is here to guide you through new developments with the same level of dedication.

Establishing Paternity in Texas

In some cases, it may be necessary to establish paternity to obtain child support or to protect paternal rights. Whether you are a mother seeking financial support or a father seeking custody or visitation, we handle paternity actions with discretion and care. We help clients understand their parental rights and responsibilities while building a path forward that reflects the needs of the child.

Adoption and Termination of Parental Rights

Adoption is a complex, although joyful, legal process. Whether you are pursuing a private adoption or adopting a stepchild or grandchild, we can handle the legal details so you can focus on the emotional journey. Our firm also handles termination of parental rights, which may be necessary in adoption, abuse, or abandonment cases. We approach these matters with the utmost dedication and care, knowing the legal and emotional stakes are high.

Marital Agreements: Planning with Confidence

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are powerful tools for protecting assets and clarifying expectations within a marriage. These legally binding agreements can outline how property, debts, and financial obligations will be handled in the event of divorce or death to help couples avoid future conflict. While often associated with high-net-worth individuals, marital agreements can be beneficial for couples who want clarity and security in their relationships.

Well-drafted agreements can protect your business interests, family inheritances, or the financial well-being of your children from a prior relationship. To be enforceable in Texas, marital agreements must meet specific legal standards. We work closely with clients to ensure prenups and postnuptial agreements are fair, customized, and fully compliant with state law. Whether you are seeking to define financial terms in an ongoing relationship or planning for marriage, we can provide discreet, thoughtful guidance and help you make informed decisions that reflect your goals.
