How a Skilled Child Custody Attorney Can Help You Win Your Case
Whether you are a parent facing a divorce or are involved in a custody dispute with a former partner, you want the best outcome for your children. Working with an experienced child custody lawyer may help you to reach a resolution. Our Fort Worth family lawyers have the skills and knowledge to help you achieve what is best for your child, while protecting your parental rights.
When it comes to children, a custody decision is the most important issue that can arise during a divorce or separation. A court makes the decision based on what is in the best interest of the child, taking many factors into consideration including the parents’ relationship, the nature of the child’s home environment, school, and extracurricular activities, health of the child, any history of domestic violence, the ability of each parent to provide a safe and healthy home, and other relevant matters.
Our child custody attorneys understand that a child custody dispute can be highly emotional. We will work hard to minimize your stress and anxiety throughout the process. We will explain the legal issues and answer any questions you may have regarding your case. We will also carefully listen to your wishes and concerns. We will work with you to reach a solution that works for everyone involved, including your children.
We can help you establish legal custody, which includes the right to make decisions about your child’s upbringing, and physical custody, which refers to the actual arrangement where the child lives. We can also help you with issues involving visitation rights. If necessary, we can assist you with resolving disputes involving grandparents who wish to see their grandchildren. We can also help you with any child support issues that might arise. Child support is an obligatory obligation under Texas law and is calculated based on the net monthly income of the noncustodial parent. Our attorneys will help you to establish the correct amount of child support to be paid.
Modifications to a child custody or visitation order can be requested at any time. However, the change should be significant enough to affect the child’s welfare and/or one or both of the parents’ ability to care for the child or meet their previous obligations. A loss of job, unexpected move to another city, or a military deployment are some examples that would warrant a modification request. We will help you to file the proper paperwork and argue your case before a judge.
