Child Custody and Child Support
At the Edmondson Law, PLLC we encourage parents to always to put the needs of children first when involved in a divorce, paternity proceeding or other family law matters.
Any parent’s worst nightmare during a divorce is losing the ability to see their children during this process of when the divorce is finalized. In the state of Texas, most divorced parents get possession of their children during designated days, such as first, third, and fifth weekends; every other major holiday; and during the summer. However, it is possible for some parents to work out an evenly more split-time schedule.
Every parent wishes to craft an ideal possession schedule when it comes to child custody, but this doesn’t always happen. You need an attorney with the capability to advise you of your options.
Determining the child’s living arrangements and possession schedule can often be the cause of tremendous dispute. Another important issue includes the amount of child support paid to support the child’s development. After a child support order is determined, there may be a need for assistance in enforcing that order or in seeking a modification. If circumstances put you in a position where you find yourself unable to pay child support such as job loss, illness, accident or unexpected financial expense, you may be able to obtain a modification to your original child support order. If you are seeking to collect child support payments, our staff at Edmondson Law will aggressively assert your rights and the best interests of the child or children.
Paternity, Adoptions, and Premarital Agreements
As a parent determining the paternity of a child, it is important to work with a family law attorney who is experienced in DNA testing and other paternity issues. We want to provide an open line of communication with all parties to ensure you understand your legal rights while making important decisions that will affect your family’s future.
Adding a child to your family through adoption is a cause for joy, but the Texas laws regulating adoption can be complex. A skilled attorney can guide you efficiently through the adoption process and avoid legal pitfalls that could result in expensive delays potentially an adoption denial. We are here to create new families in Texas through adoption and are here to help you through the entire process.
Drafting premarital agreements can be a practical first step in a marriage. Premarital agreements are a way for people to establish a written contract pertaining to property rights during marriage. These agreements can be used to protect property designated for children of a previous relationship, protect one spouse from the debts of the other, and distinguish separate property from community property, just to name a few purposes. Our experienced family law team at Edmondson Law can draft your Texas premarital agreement that will give you peace of mind knowing you have a legally sound contract to protect your future.
