Lewisville Texas Child Custody and Relocation Attorneys
We Are Here for You, Representing Your Best Interests and Those of Your Child
Child custody is one of the most contentious, emotional and disputed issues that divorcing parents must face to finalize their divorce and parenting plan. Managing the pursuit of your child custody rights is essential because the final plans that the court orders either by agreement or trial can dramatically affect the relationships of everyone involved until the last child is emancipated.
The divorce process is additionally important because it is the first and last time that parents face each other on a level playing field. Also, emotions can cloud a normally rational parent's judgment, making child custody legal matters even more challenging.
With the right attorney, you can help ensure that your child custody outcome is indeed in the best interest of the child and meets your goals for that best interest. At Neal, Ashmore, Evans & Stuntebeck, we have assisted hundreds of parents in resolving child custodial and visitation issues. We work both with divorcing spouses and with parents who never married.
Contact Neal, Ashmore, Evans & Stuntebeck for caring, creative, family-oriented solutions that strive to minimize family disruption. Call 972-436-8000 or contact us online.
Experience Translates Into Results That Work for Your Children and You
All of our attorneys are passionate about family law and have practiced family law since leaving law school — some for more than 35 years. During that time, we have handled almost every conceivable child custody matter. Additionally, we continue to educate ourselves so that we can stay abreast of emerging issues and laws in Texas child custody and family law. One way we do this is to be part of the legislative process as reviews of bills affecting families occur when legislative sessions convene.
Our experience and knowledge make us effective family law attorneys when helping clients in:
- Determining legal custody (who makes the major decisions for your child) and physical custody (where your child lives) and in establishing joint or sole child custody
- Drafting parenting plans and determining visitation/possession rights
- Matters regarding child relocation to other cities, states, and countries due to a host of factors not the least of which are re-marriage and employment changes
- Dealing with issues of parental alienation and loss of both quality and actual time with a child during his or her growing-up years
- Drafting and reviewing child support agreements that protect your interests and are in the best interests of your child
- Parents' rights issues relating to lifestyle or differences in raising children in today's world
- Modifying or enforcing divorce decrees
- Establishing joint or sole child custody
- Determining visitation/possession rights
- Establishing grandparents' rights
Is your divorce uncontested? Consider a collaborative divorce or a mediated divorce to reduce the negative impact on your children.
How Our Texas Child Custody Lawyers Are Different
Our attorneys do not just accept the standard procedure in child custody cases. We find ways to cut costs for our clients without cutting corners. We use informal methods to settle disputes outside of the courtroom within the first weeks of the case being filed when possible, and eliminate unnecessary costs by avoiding unnecessary and costly social studies and psychological exams when possible.
Our law firm utilizes a total team approach to your family law case, beginning with the initial consultation. The attorney you initially see will always manage your case. Our team approach and review, however, allow us, with your consent, to proactively move the necessary tasks in your case to the staff member or attorney who can most economically achieve your goal, which results in tremendous savings for you.
We also work with counselors to gather information and solve emotional problems that may prevent finalization of a case. In more complicated, highly contested custody cases, we enlist for your benefit well-trained courtroom professionals to prepare you for testifying in depositions and trials, prepare discovery and assist your attorney in document organization, saving you thousands of dollars in attorneys fees.
In addition, our experience and effectiveness in handling child custody and relocation issues is matched by our child support law experience. We work with a certified divorce financial expert to ensure your and your child's best-possible child support outcome, whether you are the payer or payee.
