Galveston County Child Custody Lawyers
At Kerr, Hendershot & Cannon, our divorce attorneys are prepared to work for your best interests and help you achieve your goals. Whether you are looking at an uncontested divorce with no children involved, or need aggressive legal representation in a custody dispute with a high net worth estate, we have the knowledge and skill to secure the best possible outcome for you and your family. Contact us for a private consultation with one of our family law attorneys.
When you come to our office, we can discuss your concerns and explain your rights and options in regards to any family law matter, including:
- Divorce: We work hard to settle custody, financial and property matters as easily as possible, so you can move forward with a sense of stability and closure. However, every divorce is different. If your case requires litigation, rest assured that we have successfully represented clients in family law courts throughout most of Texas.
- Child custody and support: When it comes to arrangements for child support and custody, your children's best interests are at the heart of our practice.
- Temporary orders/spousal support: If one spouse is working while the other is raising the children, the non-moneyed spouse may wish to request a temporary order or spousal support order. This requires the money-making spouse to continue paying certain bills and expenses, or to provide financial support to the non-moneyed spouse for a period of time.
- Modifications: Sometimes the original custody, support, or financial arrangements agreed upon in the divorce decree don't work out as expected. We can assist with modifications of any kind.
- Property division: Marital property is generally considered to be community property, unless it is proven to be separate, belonging to you alone. We evaluate your property and financial situation thoroughly in order to present the evidence that will protect your interests and achieve a fair property agreement.
- Paternity: Are you a mother seeking child support from your child's father? A father seeking parenting time with your child? A man seeking to prove that you are NOT the father of a particular child? We represent parents on both sides of the paternity issue.
- Enforcement: It is illegal to break court ordered child support payments or visitation rights. We handle enforcement issues of all types including child support, custody and property division.
If you need experienced representation, or have concerns about a challenging family law issue, we can help. Contact a qualified Texas family law attorney today to schedule a consultation.
