One of the most common questions we hear from Texas parents is whether their child can just decide who they want to live with. The answer is more nuanced than most people expect, and it depends heavily on your child's age.

If your child is 12 or older, Texas law allows them to share their preference with a judge in a private meeting. But that preference does not automatically determine the outcome. The court still makes the final call based on the best interest of the child.

Our latest blog breaks down exactly how this works in Texas and what it means for your custody case. Read it now: https://nfamilylaw.com/texas-child-custody-age-preference

Divorcing someone with narcissistic tendencies is not like a typical divorce. The tactics are different. The emotional toll is different. And the legal strategy needs to be different, too.

If you are dealing with a spouse who refuses to cooperate, twists the truth, or uses your children as leverage, you are not imagining it, and you are not powerless.

Our latest blog covers exactly what to document, what to expect, and how an experienced attorney can help you build a case that actually holds up.

Most people picture divorce as a courtroom battle. But for many Texas families, there is a path that is faster, more private, and far less damaging than litigation.

Mediation allows both spouses to reach agreements on property, custody, and support outside of a courtroom. The process puts you in control of the outcome instead of leaving it up to a judge.

Our team brings the same level of preparation to mediation that we bring to every case. Because reaching a fair agreement should never mean settling for less.

The financial side of divorce can feel overwhelming, especially when you are not sure what you are walking away with.

In Texas, spousal support is one of the areas where people leave the most on the table simply because they did not know their options.

Our team handles these conversations every day. We will give you a clear, honest picture of where you stand and what your options are under Texas law.

In Texas, child support does not automatically stop at graduation. Payments typically end when a child turns 18 and graduates from high school, whichever comes later. But if your court order has different terms, those terms control. And if your child has special needs, support may continue even longer.

Knowing exactly where you stand protects you either way. Whether you are paying or receiving child support, this is not something to leave to assumption.
