Mansfield Family Law Attorneys

Losing custody of a child is a nightmare that can become real if you are not well-represented legally. This can lead to immeasurable harm to both you and your child. In Texas, judges determine child custody based on what is in the best interest of the child. If we cannot come to a mutually agreed-upon custody arrangement with your ex-partner, it is incredibly important to have attorneys on your side who can demonstrate to a judge that you retaining custody of your child is the right decision. 

Custody agreements sometimes need to be changed to better serve both parents and children. We can seek modifications to existing custody arrangements. This can become necessary if one of the child's parents enters a new marriage or relocates for a job. Another reason many in Mansfield come to us is because they never received a fair custody agreement to begin with. If another attorney failed you, we can fight to have your child custody restored. 

A divorce may be long-brewing or a sudden shock. Regardless, the initiation of a divorce can lead to both overwhelming emotions and legal issues. Our team is trained in collaborative law and mediation, which gives us a better ability to resolve divorces peacefully out of court. Sometimes your ex-partner may make this impossible. Our specialist-led team is confident in taking divorce cases the distance to protect your rights. 

We have handled both straightforward divorces and complex, high-asset divorce cases that involve considerable estates, foreign assets, and complex property law. Property division frequently becomes the most fought about aspect in a divorce. Our attorneys know how to accurately evaluate property value and ownership to make sure the division of property is fair to you.

Child support arrangements should be robust and very clear. Our team is able to deliver on both of these requirements for a variety of clients in need. These include single parents who need child support, non-custodial parents who are forced to pay child support, couples undergoing divorce, and people who are suffering from poorly created existing agreements. 

A divorce can lead to sudden and severe financial loss. A partner's missing income can make simple day-to-day life hard to lead. You may be tempted to handle this issue on your own by getting a second job or avenue of income. Instead of making your life harder, you can talk to our attorneys so we can fight for the spousal support you may be entitled to.
