Divorce
Child Support
In Texas, child support is available for any child that is under the age of 18. If the child is enrolled in school which leads to a high-school diploma, and are attending classes, then child support will continue until the month of graduation (provided the child does not marry or otherwise become emancipated). If the child is disabled, then the payment of child support could be required indefinitely. The parties can agree to pay child support for longer periods (e.g. – for college expenses, etc); however, these are typically agreed contractual support, rather than Court Ordered child support.
Child Custody and Visitation
Once the Divorce Petition has been delivered, the time starts ticking for the Respondent or their lawyer to file an “Answer.” An answer must be filed at or before “10:00 a.m. on the Monday next following the expiration of twenty days” from the date of service. If you do not file an Answer, then a “default Divorce Decree” can be taken against you, which means that the Petitioner essentially gets what he or she wants, by default. The Answer may include special pleadings or defenses, or even a “Counter-Petition for Divorce.” The Counter-Petition is basically the Respondent joining in the Petitioner’s request to be divorced, but may seek a different outcome on issues of child custody, child support or division of property.

Restraining Order
Before entry of a Texas Divorce Decree, the parties may need “Temporary Orders.” Temporary Orders are requests for interim orders such as child support, measures to allocate the payment of certain debts and obligations, orders permitting the temporary use and possession of personal property and/or real property, attorney’s fees, injunctions (such as Temporary Restraining Orders) and other orders that prevent the parties from doing certain things. Temporary Orders are generally used to preserve the status quo, take care of the parties’ or children’s interim needs, or pay for anticipated expenses until the Texas Divorce Decree is entered.

Business and Corporate Law

Business Formation
The first step in starting a business is to determine the basic legal structure of the business, and to properly record the business name with the Secretary of State and other appropriate agencies. We help our clients choose the proper form of business entity to match their needs related to limitation of liability, taxation (working with a client's tax professional), management, and profit-sharing. We also assist in ensuring that the business name is registered, such as through "dba" registrations with the State and appropriate counties, and we assist in retrieving Employer Identification Numbers (EINs or tax payer IDs).

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Wills
A Last Will and Testament allows you to decide how your possessions will be distributed after your death. In Texas, if you do not have a Last Will and Testament, state law will decide who inherits your estate and how your possessions and things are distributed.
Power of Attorney
What property can be taken to satisfy a debt depends on the management rights of that property. With the exception of homestead property, each spouse has the sole management, control, and disposition of: 1) his or her separate property; and 2) the community property that he or she would have owned if single (personal earnings; revenue from separate property; recoveries from personal injuries; etc.). All other community property is subject to the joint management, control, and disposition of the husband and wife, unless the spouses provide otherwise by power of attorney in writing or other agreement. Generally, the only property that is subject to seizure for a spouse's liabilities is property over which that spouse has some right of management or control. Injuries or damage to property by one spouse committed during marriage, however, are treated differently. Consult an attorney for more information.
