Client Testimonials

What Austin Parents Say

Verified client testimonials

I was terrified of losing time with my kids. My attorney built a parenting plan that kept me in their daily lives and secured a 50/50 schedule. They explained every step in plain English and never made me feel rushed. My children come first, and so did my lawyer.

Jessica M.

Austin, TX · Child Custody

As a dad, I worried the system was stacked against me. This team fought for equal possession and joint conservatorship and won. They cared about my relationship with my son, not just the paperwork. Calm, prepared, and genuinely on my side.

Marcus T.

Round Rock, TX · Co-Parenting Plan

Hablan espanol y me explicaron cada paso del proceso de custodia en Texas. Protegieron mi tiempo con mis hijos y consiguieron un plan de crianza claro. Me senti acompanada y respetada en el momento mas dificil. Gracias de todo corazon.

Sofia R.

Pflugerville, TX · Child Custody

We agreed on most things, so we wanted an uncontested divorce done right, especially the parenting plan. They drafted everything, caught two issues I never would have seen about holidays and school decisions, and had it through the court quickly. Affordable and kind.

Amanda K.

Cedar Park, TX · Uncontested Divorce

My ex stopped following our custody order and kept withholding the kids on my weekends. My lawyer filed an enforcement action, documented every missed exchange, and got me make-up time. They moved fast when it mattered most. Cannot thank them enough.

David L.

Georgetown, TX · Custody Enforcement

After a job change I needed to modify our possession schedule. They documented the change, filed the modification, and presented a clear case for what my daughter needed now. Professional, organized, and always focused on my child's best interest.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is child custody decided in Austin, Texas?
Texas frames custody as conservatorship (your decision-making rights) and possession (your parenting schedule), and the court decides based on the best interest of the child. Most cases end in joint managing conservatorship, but the possession schedule and specific rights vary widely. We build a parenting plan supported by evidence of your involvement and your child's routines, school, and emotional needs, then advocate for the schedule that keeps you in your kids' daily lives. Call us at (512) 877-1389 for a free, confidential case review.
Can a father get 50/50 custody in Texas?
Yes. Texas law does not favor mothers or fathers, and courts increasingly grant equal or near-equal possession when it serves the child's best interest and both parents are fit and involved. We help fathers document their involvement in school, medical care, and daily routines, and we advocate for joint managing conservatorship and a 50/50 or expanded standard possession schedule.
How much does a divorce or custody lawyer in Austin cost?
It depends on whether your matter is contested or uncontested and how complex the custody and property issues are. We offer a free, confidential case review to explain your options, including flat-fee arrangements for uncontested divorces and parenting plans, and hourly representation for contested custody and divorce. We are transparent about fees from day one, so there are no surprises. Call (512) 877-1389 to discuss your situation at no cost.
When can I modify a custody or child support order in Texas?
You can ask the court to modify conservatorship, possession, or child support when there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances since the last order, and the change is in your child's best interest. Common reasons include a parent moving, a new job or income change, a change in your child's needs, or a co-parent who is no longer following the plan. We document the change and present a clear case for the new arrangement.
What happens if my co-parent won't follow our custody order?
A custody order only protects your children if it is followed. If a co-parent withholds your kids, ignores the possession schedule, or refuses to pay support, we file an enforcement action. We document every violation and ask the court for make-up possession time, contempt findings, and the relief your family is owed. When your time with your children is being denied, we move quickly.
How long does a divorce take in Texas?
Texas requires a minimum 60-day waiting period from the date the petition is filed before a divorce can be finalized. Uncontested divorces often finalize shortly after that window. Contested cases involving disputed custody, support, or property can take six months to over a year. We work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while keeping your children's stability and your parental rights protected.
