May is National Moving Month, and if you are a parent subject to a custody or possession order, a move may be more complicated than you expect.

Many court orders include geographic restrictions that limit where a child can reside. Relocating without addressing those restrictions, even within Texas, can put you in violation of a court order.

A move can also affect jurisdiction, possession schedules, and the enforceability of existing agreements.

Before you commit to a new city, talk to a family law attorney. Beal Law Firm can help you understand what your order allows and what steps need to be taken before you move. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com.

Ma*****na is legal in a growing number of states, but that does not mean it is a non-issue in a Texas custody case.

Texas family courts apply a best interest of the child standard. A parent's conduct, including substance use, can be considered by a court regardless of whether that conduct was legal where it occurred. If use raises questions about a parent's judgment or a child's safety, it may come up in the proceedings.

Parents navigating custody matters in Texas should be aware that their choices can have legal implications here, even when those choices were made elsewhere.

If you have questions about how specific circumstances may affect your case, Beal Law Firm is available for a confidential consultation. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com.

Summer wedding season is here! If you are planning to get married, it’s worth taking the time to consider whether a premarital agreement makes sense for your situation.

A premarital agreement can address property rights, spousal support, debt, and financial expectations before the marriage begins. It is not about planning for the worst. It is about starting the marriage with clarity and transparency on both sides.

Under Texas law, these agreements have specific requirements to be enforceable, so waiting until the last minute is not recommended. If you have questions, the attorneys at Beal Law Firm are glad to help. Visit dfwdivorce.com/premarital-agreements or call (800) 811-0380.

Fall schedules fill up faster than most people expect. If your current possession order no longer fits your child's school schedule, extracurriculars, or changing routine, now is the time to look at making a change before the season starts and conflicts arise.

Modifying a possession order requires showing a material and substantial change in circumstances and that the modification serves the best interest of the child. Starting the process early gives you the best chance of having something in place before fall begins.

If you have questions about whether your situation may support a modification, the Beal Law Firm is here to help. Reach us at dfwdivorce.com or call (800) 811-0380.

As the midpoint of the year approaches, it is a good time to pause and consider whether recent life changes may affect your current family law arrangements.

Many people experience significant transitions without realizing their agreements, court orders, or legal plans may need updating.

Here are common life events that may warrant a legal check-in:

✅ New legal partnerships or marriages - Entering a new legal partnership or marriage can affect custody dynamics, financial obligations, and more.
✅ Changes in income or employment - Significant income increases or decreases, changes in benefits, or self-employment income can affect child or spousal support calculations and disclosure requirements.
✅ Relocation or travel changes - Moving across city, county, or state lines can trigger notice requirements, jurisdictional issues, or court approval depending on existing agreements.
✅ Health issues or caregiving responsibilities - Serious illness, injury, disability, or new caregiving duties for a child or family member can affect availability, financial stability, and decision-making responsibilities.

Taking proactive steps now can help reduce stress, avoid disputes, and ensure your legal documents remain aligned with your goals. That is where we come in. We are here to help ensure you’re legally protected and that your arrangements continue to reflect your current situation.

Give Beal Law Firm a call today, and we can get started.

Summer is around the corner, and if you are co-parenting, now is the time to get ahead of seasonal schedule changes. A little early planning can go a long way in preventing stress and setting your child up for success.

Here are a few legal reminders to keep in mind:

✅Review your custody agreement - Look for summer-specific guidelines like vacation request deadlines or travel restrictions.
✅Communicate early and in writing - Whether you are discussing trips, camps, or child care, written communication helps avoid misunderstandings.
✅Check notice requirements - Many agreements require advance notice for schedule changes or travel.
✅Plan transitions - Talk about transportation, medical needs, and how you will stay in contact with your co-parent.
✅Confirm travel rules - Traveling out of state or abroad? You might need written consent or court approval.
✅Document all changes - If you adjust the schedule, make sure it is in writing.

An uncontested divorce in Texas generally means that both spouses are able to agree on the key issues without ongoing fights in court.

That usually includes agreement on property division, debts, child custody, child support, and any spousal support.

Even in an uncontested case, there are still legal steps, deadlines, and required documents, but the process is often faster and less costly than a highly disputed case. It can also feel more private and less stressful for everyone involved.

Beal Law Firm helps clients confirm whether their case is truly uncontested, prepare the necessary paperwork, and move through the process in a careful and efficient way.
