Do you simply want someone to walk you through the process of getting your name changed? No matter what family law issue you are faced with, the attorneys at the law firm of Patel Warren & Ervin can help.


- Divorce

There is no question that divorce is one of the most stressful situations a person may face in their lifetime. The emotions involved, the bitter feelings that often arise between two people at the end of a marriage, can create an environment in which decision are rarely easy to make.

- Child Custody and Visitation

Raising a child is expensive. Both parents are expected to contribute. During a divorce, or as part of a paternity dispute, the question of child support payments needs to be addressed to ensure that the non-custodial parent is contributing a fair amount.

Stepparents have limited rights in the eyes of the law. Even if the stepparent has essentially been a parent to their stepson or stepdaughter, the law requires that a stepparent adoption be completed in order to make it official and to get the same rights as a biological parent.


- Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements can accomplish a wide variety of goals. While it is common knowledge that they are effective in addressing how property will be divided in the case of a divorce, they can also be designed to outline how household expenses are dealt with during a marriage. Even though these documents are often used in the event of a second marriage, they can benefit any couple that wants to take care to prevent conflict during their marriage or at the end of their marriage.

A significant number of families in the Houston area, as well as in the rest of Texas, rent their homes instead of owning. The reasons are numerous.
