The issue of relocation with a Child is one common source of friction amongst spouses or former spouses. When a mother or father moves to a new state, new county or new school district, it affects the ability of the other parent to have parental access and visitation with minor children.

Whatever situation may occur in your case, we have the experience necessary to effectively protect your parental rights.

- Spousal Support

Texas judges do not award permanent spousal support lightly. In a divorce where one of the spouses contests a spousal support award, a Texas court will award spousal support in very limited circumstances. Spousal support may be available in your Texas divorce as follows: Awards of temporary spousal support while a divorce is ongoing; Spousal support awards resulting from an agreement between spouses; and Spousal support based on financial need and special circumstances. Our firm can walk you through the complexities of spousal support matters. Let our experience protect your rights.
