Divorce
Currently, my probate estate law and divorce law practice has offices in Houston and San Antonio, but we are able to help clients across Texas. For those seeking an lawyer for Probate, Estate or Divorce cases in either contested or uncontested divorces, contact us for a free initial consultation.
Child Support
Child support, in most instances, is based on the Texas Child Support Guidelines. Usually, child support ends up being 20% of the obligor's net pay for 1 child, 25% for two children, 30% for 3 children, and so on up to a maximum of 40%.
Child Custody and Visitation
Adoption
Guardianship
Spousal Support
In the State of Texas, a divorce cannot be granted without settling what is in the best interest of children involved and the division of the community property which is not necessarily an equal split. Alimony is limited in scope and duration.

Restraining Order
At the time of filing, the Petitioner can request that a standard Temporary Restraining Order (or an extraordinary order if circumstances warrant) be issued, which basically freezes the status quo of the parties and requires that no assets start to disappear before they can be divided by the court, requires that the parties act civilly toward each other and do not threaten or harass each other, steal each other's cars or mail, cut off each other's utilities, credit cards or insurance, or hide the children from each other.
Forgery
The testator lacked mental capacity; i.e., was senile, delusional, or of unsound mind at the time the documents were created the testator was subjected to fraud, coercion or undue influence during its creation and implementation there are ambiguities in the document, or the Will is a forgery or does not conform to legal requirements as to the number and nature of the witnesses.

Personal Injury
Houston Attorney Nick Abaza launches new and improved website. Mr. Abaza practices in Houston, Texas and specializes in Probate as well as Personal Injury Law.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Trusts are estate-planning tools that can replace or supplement Wills, as well as help manage property during life. A trust manages the distribution of a person's property by transferring its benefits and obligations to different people. By maintaining assets in a Trust, it is often easier to minimize taxes and leave a larger inheritance. A Trust is also a way to provide a steady income to the Beneficiary over the course of time, rather than distribution in a lump sum. This strategy can reduce the Beneficiary's tax and allow the Trust to grow through investment, and keep assets free from creditors of the Trust beneficiary. Trusts can also be established for the benefit of charitable organizations.
Wills
Under the Texas Probate Code, a valid handwritten will must be wholly in the handwriting of the testator and signed by him or her. It does not need to be witnessed and can be written on anything, including stationery. Typewritten words may not be incorporated into the will. The wording must reflect a present intent to dispose of property at death. The words, "This is my last will and testament," generally are sufficient to show testamentary intent.
Trusts
Power of Attorney
Durable powers of attorney. Powers of attorney allow someone to designate another person to make medical and financial decisions for them in the event that they are incapacitated. These documents are relevant only when someone is still alive and incapable of making decisions for themselves. In most cases, people designate a spouse and/or trusted family member or friend as trustee.
Probate
HOUSTON PROBATE LAWYER UPDATES Several Trust, Estate, and Probate changes recently took place in Texas, affecting the probate process in Houston probate courts impacting estate attorneys and lawyers in the areas of Will administration and Estate administration. All Texas probate courts and Houston Probate Courts now require notification to heirs by executors or estate administrators. Regardless of whether an executor or administrator needs a probate lawyer, Houston attorney, Dallas attorney, San Antonio attorney, or Austin attorney, a probate lawyer must guide an executor or estate administrator through potential fiduciary litigation issues in probate estates and probate litigation which requires a probate lawyer to stay focused on Texas probate changes. Estate lawyers need to stay updated on probate law for Will contests, Will challenges, Trust challenges and fiduciary litigation cases which requires attorneys to stay focused in Texas probate law.

Tax Law
Wills and Trusts. It also includes areas such as the creation of durable powers of attorney, living trust, living Will, and other tax planning vehicles such as
