Lawyer for Property Agreements, Child-Related Issues, and Adoption in Little Elm

Relationships between family members can be complicated, and unfortunately, disputes or other issues can become difficult to resolve when the legal system becomes involved. People who need to go to family court to address these matters will often feel overwhelmed, since they are most likely unfamiliar with the laws that apply to them and the legal procedures that will be followed. Anyone who needs to resolve legal issues related to spouses, parents, children, or other family members will need a strong advocate on their side who can help them make sure they are approaching their case correctly.

Legal Help With Family Law Issues in Little Elm, TX

Legal issues related to divorce are regularly addressed in family courts. We work with divorcing spouses to address and resolve disputes and other concerns, including helping parties complete an uncontested divorce with minimal court appearances. We also assist with high asset divorce cases, including working with spouses to resolve complex financial concerns such as property division or spousal support (alimony), as well as ensuring that they understand the tax consequences of the decisions made during the divorce process.

Many family law cases also involve child custody and visitation. We work with divorcing parents to help them address issues related to their children, and we also help unmarried parents establish paternity and resolve disputes related to parental relocation. In cases involving Child Protective Services (CPS) where officials look into a family's situation to determine whether child abuse or neglect has occurred, we work with parents and family members to ensure that they take the right steps when responding to an investigation, doing everything we can to help them avoid consequences that could affect their custody of their children.

We also assist with many other family law issues, including:

• Property agreements - We help couples create prenuptial or postnuptial agreements that will protect their assets and address how financial issues will be addressed if their marriage ends. We also assist couples who are unmarried and living together with the creation of cohabitation agreements that establish legal rights to ownership of the property they own together, while also addressing other issues related to their relationship.
• Adoption - We help families follow the correct procedures during a step-parent adoption, including meeting the requirements for parental custody termination.
• Domestic violence or abuse - We can help abuse victims petition for orders of protection and address legal issues related to a subsequent divorce or breakup.
• Military family law - Addressing divorce or child custody issues can be complex when a spouse is a member of the military. We can ensure that the correct procedures are followed during a military divorce, and we can also help spouses understand how to address military retirement benefits.
• Same-sex divorce and family law - Even though same-sex spouses have the same rights as heterosexual spouses, they may need to address some unique issues in divorce or child custody cases.
