Each matter obtains the dedicated concentration of our seasoned lawyers, who understand that every family case demands a meticulously personalized plan.

Our Firm Represents Divorce Proceedings 

Texas recognizes both no-fault and fault-based grounds for divorce, with insupportability serving as the most common reason cited in divorce petitions. The Texas Family Code (Sec. 6.001) defines insupportability as a situation where discord or conflict destroys the legitimate ends of the matrimonial union, with no reasonable expectation of reconciliation. Our Moody family lawyer team guides clients through every aspect of divorce proceedings while ensuring compliance with all statutory requirements:

  • Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements: We draft and review marital agreements that protect your assets and establish clear expectations for property division. These agreements provide security and peace of mind for both parties entering or currently in a marriage.
  • Alternate Dispute Resolution: Mediation and collaborative divorce options often provide less adversarial paths to resolution. Alternative dispute resolution reduces costs and emotional strain. We facilitate productive negotiations that help families reach mutually beneficial agreements outside of court.
  • Asset Protection and Property and Debt Division: Texas follows community property principles requiring equitable distribution of marital assets and debts. Our legal team works to ensure you receive your fair share while protecting separate property from improper classification.

Texas law mandates a sixty-day waiting period from the date of filing before your divorce can be finalized. During this time, we work zealously to prepare your case and negotiate favorable terms on your behalf. Our Moody family attorneys provide steady guidance throughout this process. We focus on achieving resolutions that allow you to move forward with confidence and stability.

Our Firm Handles All Aspects of Family Law

Beyond divorce proceedings, family law involves several matters affecting parents, children, and extended family members. Our Moody family lawyer team has years of experience managing these cases. We handle each matter with compassion while fighting aggressively for your priorities.

Child Custody and Support

We help parents customize custody arrangements that serve their children's best interests while ensuring fair support calculations. Our attorneys are proficient in understanding Texas custody laws and work to obtain arrangements that provide stability for your children.

Visitation Schedules

Standard possession orders may not suit every family's needs, making customized parenting time schedules imperative. Our family attorneys aggressively negotiate and draft tailored agreements that preserve strong parent-child relationships while accommodating work commitments and other responsibilities.

Spousal Support

Spousal maintenance, or alimony considerations in Texas, involve specific eligibility requirements and duration limitations. We help clients understand their rights regarding spousal maintenance while advocating for fair support arrangements.

Paternity and Father's Rights

Establishing paternity creates legal rights and responsibilities that affect custody, visitation, and support matters. We assist fathers in asserting their parental rights while helping mothers obtain necessary support for their children.

Child Protective Service (CPS) Issues

Child Protective Services investigations require immediate legal intervention to protect parental rights. Our legal team is committed to providing aggressive representation to parents facing CPS involvement while ensuring child safety remains paramount.

Modifications and Enforcement

Post-judgment modifications become necessary when circumstances change significantly after court orders are entered. The Law Office of Brett H. Pritchard assists clients in modifying custody, support, and visitation orders when warranted by substantial changes. We also pursue enforcement actions when former spouses fail to comply with court-ordered obligations, protecting your rights and your children's welfare.
