Houston Family Law Attorney – Compassionate Legal Support for Life’s Hardest Moments

Family Law Help That Puts Houston Families First

When your family is going through a major change, emotions run high—and the legal process can quickly become overwhelming. Whether you're filing for divorce, seeking custody, or facing a post-judgment modification, our Houston family law attorney provides the clarity and strength you need to move forward. We serve clients across Midtown, The Heights, Westchase, and surrounding areas, with deep familiarity in Harris County courts and a strong commitment to protecting what matters most.

What a Houston Family Law Attorney Can Do for You

Family law involves more than court filings—it’s about protecting your future, your children, and your peace of mind. We provide comprehensive legal services, including:



  • Divorce (contested and uncontested)
  • Child custody and visitation agreements
  • Child support and spousal maintenance
  • Division of marital property and debt
  • Custody or support modifications
  • Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
  • Protective orders in domestic violence cases

We’ll help you understand your options, make informed decisions, and pursue a strategy that aligns with your goals.

 Family law isn’t one-size-fits-all—especially in a city as complex as Houston. We appear regularly at the Harris County Family Law Center at 201 Caroline Street and know the court personnel, processes, and timelines well. That matters when filing paperwork, requesting emergency relief, or navigating mediation. We’re accessible for in-person meetings and responsive when your case needs action fast.

Texas Family Law Basics You Should Know

If you’re new to the legal system, here are a few things to keep in mind:



  • Texas is a community property state, meaning most assets acquired during marriage are divided in a “just and right” manner
  • Custody is called conservatorship in Texas, and decisions are based on the best interest of the child
  • Courts often issue Temporary Orders early in the process to guide co-parenting, housing, or financial support while a case is pending
  • Evidence of abuse, neglect, or substance use can impact both custody and support rulings

We’ll walk you through every detail and make sure you’re not left guessing.

  • Can I file for divorce in Houston if I just moved?

    You need to have lived in Texas for six months and in Harris County for at least 90 days before filing.

  • Will I have to go to court for child custody?

    Maybe not. Many cases resolve in mediation. But if court becomes necessary, we’re prepared.

  • How long does a divorce take in Houston?

    At least 60 days if uncontested, but contested divorces may take several months depending on complexity.

  • Can my child choose who to live with?

    Children 12 and older can express a preference, but the judge makes the final decision based on their best interest.
