We know how deeply family law issues can affect you and your children for years to come. These are issues that are uniquely challenging, personally sensitive, and can evoke emotional insecurity and reactions that make decision-making difficult. That is why you need the legal understanding and backup of a law firm that will do everything possible to secure your best interests throughout the legal process.
These are all issues that can cause contention between parties. They require the services of a family law attorney who can help you negotiate terms with the other side to avoid the stress and expense of litigation. However, where necessary or appropriate, our firm knows how to fight for your best interests before a judge or jury.
We know every family law case is unique with its own set of family dynamics, needs, concerns, and objectives. Whittenburg Law Firm is here to help you achieve results that will best position you to move forward in life with confidence and security.
Whittenburg Law Firm handles all types of family law matters. These include but are not limited to:
- Divorce. These cases can involve both contested and uncontested cases, including high net-worth and same-sex couples.
- Child custody and visitation. Whether as part of an ongoing divorce or in a post-divorce situation, we fight for your parental rights as well as your child’s best interests.
- Child support. While subject to state guidelines, we can help you seek support payments that are fair and just as well as adhering to what is in the best interests of the child.
- Division of marital property and debt. In Texas, the marital estate is considered community property and is divided in a fair and just manner. We work to ensure your estate is distributed with your best interests in mind.
- Alimony/spousal maintenance. This type of financial support may or may not be awarded depending on the circumstances of your case.
- Paternity. Unmarried parents may need to establish paternity to secure child support or custody rights.
- Prenuptial and post-marital agreements. These set forth arrangements for how property and financial matters will be handled in the event of divorce.
- Protective orders. Where family violence has occurred, these orders may be sought through the courts to protect alleged victims and their children.
- Modifications of family court orders. You may need to have child custody and support or alimony payments modified through the courts when life circumstances change.
- Enforcement of family court orders. Enforcement may be necessary when parties to custody and support orders fail to comply with them.
