Supporting You Through Divorce Proceedings
Divorce proceedings in Texas require careful attention to numerous legal requirements and deadlines that can significantly impact your future. Our Kempner family lawyers guide you through each step of the process, ensuring your rights are protected while working toward a resolution that serves your best interests. We handle all aspects of your divorce, from initial filing through final decree, with the skill and dedication your case deserves.
Navigating Child Custody Matters
Child custody determinations in Texas focus on what arrangement will serve the best interest of the child, as outlined in the Texas Family Code (Sec. 153.002). Courts consider several factors when making custody decisions, including each parent's ability to provide a stable environment and maintain the child's physical and emotional well-being. We present compelling evidence supporting your position while always keeping your children's welfare at the forefront.
Establishing Visitation And Parenting Plans
Comprehensive parenting plans set clear expectations for visitation, holidays, and communication between parents and children. By addressing potential issues in advance, these agreements reduce future conflict and promote stability for the entire family. Our firm helps you develop parenting plans tailored to your family’s circumstances.
Protecting Your Legal Right To Child Support
Child support obligations are calculated according to guidelines established in the Texas Family Code (Chapter 154), which considers factors including income, number of children, and special needs. Parents have a legal obligation to support their children financially, and we work to ensure fair support arrangements that meet your children's needs:
- Calculation of monthly support based on net resources.
- Healthcare coverage and medical support requirements.
- Educational expenses and extracurricular activities.
Our Kempner family attorneys advocate strongly for appropriate child support orders that reflect current financial circumstances and provide adequate support for your children's needs. We understand the economic impact these orders have on both parents and work to achieve balanced arrangements that serve everyone's best interests.
Advocating For Spousal Support
Spousal maintenance (alimony) may be awarded in divorces when one spouse lacks sufficient property or earning ability to meet minimum reasonable needs. Eligibility requirements and duration limits apply. We analyze your financial situation thoroughly to build strong arguments regarding spousal maintenance.
Assisting You With Support Modifications
Financial situations and family requirements evolve, potentially justifying alterations to current child and spousal maintenance arrangements. Whether you aim to raise, reduce, or end support duties, we assist you in proving the significant change in conditions mandated by Texas courts. Our lawyers draft thorough modification requests that definitively establish the necessity for adjustment.
Enforcing Court Orders
When former spouses fail to comply with court-ordered obligations, enforcement actions become necessary to protect your rights and your children's welfare. The Law Office of Brett H. Pritchard pursues aggressive enforcement strategies to ensure compliance with support orders, custody arrangements, and property division decrees:
- Contempt of court proceedings for willful violations.
- Wage garnishment and asset seizure.
- License suspension and credit reporting.
- Criminal prosecution for persistent non-compliance.
We understand the frustration and financial hardship that result from non-compliance with court orders and work diligently to obtain the relief you deserve. Our enforcement actions are designed to secure compliance quickly while protecting your legal rights throughout the process.
Defending Fathers' Rights in Paternity Cases
Fathers have equal rights to seek custody and maintain relationships with their children. We advocate strongly for fathers seeking to establish paternity, obtain custody or visitation rights, and maintain meaningful relationships with their children. Our firm ensures that fathers receive fair treatment in all family law proceedings.
