- DivorceIn an uncontested divorce, the parties have an agreement on every issue, and generally have a meeting of the minds in most respects. The matters agreed to will include the cause for the divorce; usually that the divorce is no one’s fault, simply irreconcilable differences.
- Child SupportThe court has also established the amount of child support and the provision of medical insurance for the child.
- Child Custody and VisitationDid you know that over 2 million children in the United States have no contact with their mothers because of various child custody arrangements? Sadly, this often happens when mothers don’t know their rights.
- AdoptionAfter remarriage, a stepparent may become the parent to a child from a previous marriage. Stepparent adoptions are available where the biological parent is estranged or agrees to the voluntary termination of rights. An adoption will give the stepparent the right to make important decisions regarding the child’s health, education and welfare. If you are a stepparent or seeking a stepparent adoption for your child, our Houston TX adoption attorney  is here to help you.
- PaternityThe laws surrounding the rights of unmarried mothers are slightly less complicated than the rights of married mothers. Under Texas law, with a legal paternity finding, an unwed mother functions as a sole conservator having sole custody of her child. She solely has the authority to make legal, medical, and educational decisions for her child. The mother has the right to determine where her child lives. The father has no legal right to visitation without establishing paternity.
- Premarital AgreementSometimes, spouses entered a nuptial agreement before or during their marriage. You sign a prenuptial agreement before you marry, while you enter into a postnuptial agreement during the marriage. These nuptial agreements outline which assets and debts are separate property — and cannot be divided during a divorce.
- Spousal SupportWhether you’re filing for divorce or receive divorce papers, ending a marriage is an emotional and complicated process. In most cases, you need to sort through years of marital assets, divide them fairly, negotiate child support and alimony payments, and craft a child support plan that is in your child’s best interests. Due to the importance of these issues, disputes can quickly arise, leading to a contested divorce.
- Annulment
- Child AbuseAnother reason a judge may grant sole custody is child neglect. This can be a parent failing to take care of the child’s basic needs, such as child safety when having possession time, or just being absent from the child’s life for an extended period.
- Criminal DefenseChild custody cases often require an array of knowledge in family law. This type of law addresses the needs of parents, children, spouses, grandparents, and other family members. They often integrate other types of law as well, such as criminal law in domestic violence cases, or tax law for child support and alimony cases. The Alsandor Law Firm has worked with hundreds of clients who have dynamic legal needs related to their child custody cases.
