Child Support
Child Support is about sharing the costs of raising a child. Texas has promulgated Section 154.125 of the Texas Family Code to set forth guidelines of varying percentages of net resources to be paid as child support depending upon the number of children. It is a rebuttable presumption that child support based upon the guidelines is in the child's best interest.
Child Custody and Visitation
Child Custody cases are some of most delicate legal matters. The future lives of individuals and families will be affected by the manner in which the issues are resolved. The impact that these difficult times will have on your life and the lives of your children makes it that much more important that you secure the counsel of an experienced and effective family law attorney.
Paternity
Legal Separation
"Texas does not have a "legal separation" as other states do. Earl Jackson's "record" were parties who separated in 1961 and divorced in 2002. The client had been married to his "second wife" for over 30 years. All property accumulated or earned during the marriage is community property and subject to division by the court in what the court deems to be, in its discretion, fair and equitable. In the "61 case" the court awarded to each spouse that property which was held by each of them in their own name. So it worked out okay. In another case of long separation, the court ordered 50/50 each. Means the court "tagged" a spouse's community property on a 50% basis. Actually, the guy who was being sued for divorce in that case with substantial assets was ultimately a "jerk" and "pissed" off the court. The judge blinked her eyes, smiled and said "have a nice day" as she awarded 50% of the man's retirement to his long separated spouse. If you have been separated for some time without hope of reconciliation - get a divorce. We get this call all the time.
Annulment
Annulment's in Texas: Annulment's are about setting a marriage aside as if it had not occurred. Usually, an annulment is based in fraud. The following link discussed the annulment process. We have been very successful in obtaining annulments for our clients.

Restraining Order
The divorce process starts by filing a document entitled "Original Petition For Divorce." A petition, called a complaint in other jurisdictions, is nothing more than a "letter" to the court asking the court to grant a divorce and any other relief requested. It will identify the parties and the children. Furthermore, it will apprise the court of those reasons why divorce is sought, i.e., "discord and conflict that destroys the legitimate ends of the marital relationship, adultery, abandonment, etc...." The person who files for divorce is called the "Petitioner." The person who answers the divorce petition is called the "Respondent." The original Petition is served upon the Respondent. Concurrently with the filling of the Original Petition, a party may ask for "Temporary Orders", "Temporary Restraining Orders", "A Protective Order", and/or a "Writ of Habeas Corpus". Almost all divorced are granted on "irreconcilable differences." Most petitions will contain "boiler plate" language asking for attorney's fees, and why a spouse deserves more than 50% of the community estate. Don't worry about the language. Contact an attorney who specializes in divorce work.

Social Security Disability
Sought to avoid the establishment of the child support obligation (Dad hid out - they will find you). App lication of Guidelines to Children of Disabled Obligors If an obligor has a disability and is receiving social security disability income and is required to pay child support, the child support calculation shall be calculated by applying the guideline child support to the disability income of the obligor and subtracting the amount of benefits or the value of benefits paid to or for the child as a result of the obligors disability.
