Renken Law Firm

Divorce
Even in the best scenarios, getting a divorce can be difficult. These days, many couples are choosing divorce mediation instead of going to court for a traditional divorce. Mediation can be a good option because it has a lot of benefits. It keeps things private, doesn’t cost as much money, and gives you a chance to have a say in how things happen. If you’re thinking about doing divorce mediation, it’s helpful to work with someone who knows what they’re doing, like Dawn Renken, who is a mediator and divorce lawyer.

Divorce

Child Support
Renken Law Firm, PLLC represent clients seeking to enforce the terms of a divorce decree or custody order. You may need to seek to enforce an order when the other parent has failed to pay their court ordered child support or if you have been denied visitation with your child. We have extensive experience with both seeking relief for these types of issues and also defending against these types of cases. Having an experienced lawyer who has handled both sides of the issue provides you a unique attorney who can reasonably anticipate what the other side may attempt to do. If the non-custodial parent refuses to pay court ordered child support or you have been denied visitation, contact us. If you have been accused of nonpayment or denying the opposing party visitation, a possible contempt outcome is jail time. Do not go to court alone, contact Renken Law Firm, PLLC.
Child Custody and Visitation
In Texas, the minimum time for a finalized divorce is 61 days. If child custody, complex finances, or shared property are involved, the process can take months or even more than a year. Texas law requires a mandatory 60-day waiting period before finalizing a divorce, starting from the day the Original Petition for Divorce is filed.

Spousal Support
While the terms alimony and spousal maintenance are often used interchangeably, they are very different things under Texas law. They both achieve the same goal during a divorce, however. They both allow one spouse to receive financial support from the other.
Legal Separation
Texas does not recognize legal separation. This means that even when you are living apart from your spouse, all of the property you or your spouse acquire is community property—regardless of the way it is titled—and all debt you or your spouse acquire is community debt. Simply put, you are married until you are legally divorced. Make sure you take that into consideration during the divorce process so that there are no surprises.
Annulment
Child Abuse
J has over fourteen years of experience in family and criminal law. He works closely with the staff to provide support to the entire firm. J is a member of the State Bar of Texas Paralegal Division, State Bar College as well as a member of Texas Defense Lawyers Association. J attended the University of Houston as well Houston Community College and has intensive training in family violence, child abuse investigation, interview techniques, crisis intervention, S.F.S.T. techniques and has a multitude of investigative skills.

Criminal Defense
She earned almost every academic accolade awarded in law school, including being invited to become a member of the prestigious Order of Barristers and Willis Society. After earning the A+ Book Award in Criminal Law, Dawn was asked to work as the Criminal Law teaching assistant to the incoming class. Dawn’s grade point average was high enough to earn her a position as an Associate Editor of the Ohio Northern Law Review, later graduating sixth in her class.
Restraining Order
At the time of filing, the Petitioner can request that the court issue a standard Temporary Restraining Order. If a Temporary Restraining Order was issued, the court is supposed to schedule a hearing within 14 days of issuance. At that time, the court may make the Temporary Restraining Order into a temporary injunction against both parties.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Update insurance documents. Most if not all states don’t allow divorcing spouses to modify estate planning documents and insurance plans until after the judge finalizes the divorce. You should update your documents as soon as allowed, though. Additionally, if you have powers of attorney that grant your spouse the right to make medical or financial decisions for you if you’re incapacitated, but you no longer want your spouse to have that authority, you will need to update your paperwork. Speak with an attorney if you’re unsure how to change these important legal documents.
Wills
Agreements. Find copies of any prenuptial or postnuptial agreements and all estate planning documents. For example, locate copies of wills, living wills, trust documents, powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives.
