When you retain our services, we inform you of the long-term implications of your divorce-related decisions and advocate for your interests in settlement negotiations and trial proceedings.

• Adoptions

An adoption can be the happiest moment of a family's life. A child gets to feel a sense of belonging that might otherwise be absent from their scope of experience. Our attorneys are happy to secure loving homes for children and provide legal services associated with the various types of adoption proceedings—

Mediation is an alternative dispute resolution technique allows the litigants to decide how to resolve family problems—without letting a judge make an arbitrary but binding decision.

• Child Support and Child Custody (Conservatorships)

Many parents worry that they put their relationships with their children at risk when they file for divorce. Our divorce law firm works hard to preserve the parent-child relationship. Parenting plans allow us to propose equitable resolutions to child-related disputes. In negotiation and trial settings, we provide knowledgeable counsel about the following legal issues associated with child-sharing agreements:

. Child support. Raising a child is a lifetime commitment and parents are legally accountable for costs associated with childcare, at least until the child reaches the age of 18. Texas takes action against parents in arrears of their child support, and may even garnish wages when a noncustodial parent defaults on their child support obligations.

. Joint physical custody / conservatorship. When parents share joint physical custody, the child takes turns living with each parent. The closer in proximity each parent lives, the easier it is to accommodate joint physical custody.

. Sole physical custody / conservatorship. In Texas, family courts rarely grant sole physical custody to one parent unless the other parent was deemed unfit or waived their right to joint custody.

. Legal custody / conservatorship. The parent who receives legal custody is authorized to make decisions about the health, education, and welfare of the children involved. Texas family law states that legal custody may be shared jointly between the parents, requiring on-going cooperation between former spouses.

• Division of Personal Property

As attorneys with business and accounting backgrounds, our divorce attorneys are qualified to assess complex financial issues in a way that many firms would be hard pressed to replicate. We offer unique insights into complex financial decisions involving—

. Distribution of debt;
. Separation of commingled assets;
. Property sales and business buyouts;
. Division of retirement accounts;
. Alimony or spousal support;
. Domestic abuse and orders of protection.

• Post-Divorce Modifications

At the Kemp Law Firm, our divorce attorneys have helped divorced couples resolve conflicts arising out of remarriage, parental relocation or job loss. Our attorneys are creative problem-solvers who offer unique litigation insight into post-decree modifications to divorce agreement.

• Spousal Support or Maintenance

After a divorce, a spouse who gave up a career to care for children may be entitled to alimony, also known as spousal support or maintenance. In general, courts grant spousal support on a temporary basis until the recipient spouse becomes self supporting. However, depending on the age of the couple and the current stage of their life, the degree and amount of spousal support may vary. An attorney at the Kemp Law Firm can provide you with a detailed analysis of your chances for receiving spousal support.

• Medical Malpractice

Doctors, nurses and hospitals must provide an adequate standard of care to patients who entrust their health and safety to these medical care professionals. When a patient's injuries resulted from conduct unbefitting a medical care professional or facility, you may have a claim for medical malpractice. Contact an attorney at the Kemp Law Firm to discuss your legal options.

• Medical Negligence

People trust their doctors to identify the illnesses that afflict them. Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose are examples of medical negligence that may be compensable through legal action. At the Kemp Law Firm, our attorneys are ready to talk to you about your case and how your physician's negligence has resulted in worsening symptoms or a terminal diagnosis that could have been prevented if the doctor had performed his job correctly.

• Medication Injuries

The Kemp Law Firm is uniquely equipped to handle cases involving medication errors. Gerise Kemp is a licensed attorney and pharmacist who can help you find out whether an error with a prescription was preventable with due diligence on the part of the doctor, hospital or pharmacists. Adverse drug interactions, fatal reactions to known allergies and pharmaceutical errors may be responsible for the death or injury to a loved one, and our attorneys can help you pursue legal remedy for preventable medication errors.

• Nursing Home Negligence

When you make the decision to place a loved one in a nursing home, you expect your family member will receive the care and attention you yourself cannot provide. When you observe signs or symptoms of nursing home abuse or neglect, it is important to report the injuries to the nursing home administrators and contact an attorney at the Kemp Law Firm. If abuse or neglect is allowed to continue unchecked, severe injuries and fatalities may result. Signs of nursing home negligence include—

. Bed sores or decubitus ulcers;
. Sepsis or infection;
. Urinary tract infection or urosepsis;
. Falls;
. Dehydration and malnutrition;
. Elopement;
. Medication errors;
. Physical abuse;

• Catastrophic Injuries

At the Kemp Law Firm, our attorneys fight for the legal rights of people who are severely injured or disabled as a result of someone else's negligence. Our firm works with lifecare planners and rehabilitation experts to determine the extent and duration for catastrophic injuries. We then pursue maximum recovery for victims of any of the following types of harm—

. Serious head trauma;
. Optic injuries;
. Shoulder injuries;
. Foot injuries;
. Neurological disorders;
. Brain trauma;
. Spinal cord injuries;
. Paraplegia or quadriplegia;
. Severe burns;
. Accidental amputation;
. Multiple bone fractures.

• Wrongful Death

There is nothing more tragic than knowing that the death of a loved one could have been prevented. At the Kemp Law Firm, our attorneys can investigate the possibility that your loved one died as a result of someone else's negligence or wrongful conduct. We gather the evidence necessary to pursue your legal claim before a judge. We also advocate for your rights in settlement negotiations and trial proceedings.

• Letters of Protection

Attorneys at the Kemp Law Firm are authorized to issue letters of protection. A letter of protection is a legal document created by your lawyer and presented to your medical health provider, in which your lawyer promises to pay a medical bill from the proceeds of a legal settlement. If the healthcare provider accepts the letter of protection, it becomes a binding contract that places a lien on your settlement offer. When you win your claim, the healthcare provider gets paid first. However, if the personal injury settlement falls through and the healthcare provider accepted the letter of protection, you and your attorney can both be held legally liable for any outstanding medical bills.
