Child Custody & Support

Protecting Your Child’s Well-Being and Your Parental Rights

I believe the best outcomes in custody cases happen when both parents focus on what’s truly in the best interests of their children. My goal is to help you create a clear, thorough parenting plan that minimizes future conflict. When negotiation isn’t possible, I’ll assertively advocate for your position in court.

Custody and Support Services

Custody and Support Modifications Life changes. When there’s a substantial change in income, marital status, or your child’s needs, I can help you modify existing custody or support agreements. I’ll advise you on your options and negotiate or litigate for an outcome that serves your child’s best interests.

Paternity Actions DNA tests may establish paternity, but they don’t resolve custody, support, or parenting time issues. I work with clients on all aspects of paternity disputes, including child support, visitation rights, potential adoption, and when appropriate, inheritance and estate rights.

Parental Relocation Many custody orders include geographic restrictions that prevent relocation. Even job-related moves can violate court orders if not properly handled. I’ll help you navigate the approval process through negotiation, mediation, or litigation to protect your rights while complying with the law.

Multiple Jurisdiction Cases Multi-state or international custody matters require specialized knowledge. I handle complex jurisdictional issues and work with legal contacts in Europe and South America when cases cross international borders. Whether you’re in Texas dealing with out-of-state issues or living abroad facing family law challenges, I can help.

Grandparents’ Rights In certain circumstances, grandparents have legal rights to visitation or conservatorship. If you’re a grandparent concerned about your grandchild’s well-being, I’ll help you understand your rights and take action when there’s a legal basis to do so.

Your Child’s Advocate

I approach every case with your child’s best interests at the forefront. Whether through collaboration or courtroom advocacy, I’m committed to protecting what matters most—your relationship with your child and their well-being.
