Lawyers usually specialize in certain areas of practice, and at James & Newberry, PLLC, we’ve chosen to specialize in family law to provide you with the knowledge and tools you need during life’s transitions, whether planned or unexpected. Here’s a quick overview of things we are able to help with as a New Braunfels family law attorney.
Family law is generally focused on transitions that affect the structure of a family, such as a marriage, birth, adoption, divorce, or death. Over the course of time, every family will encounter one or more of these transitions. We offer eight areas of service to assist families with the legal aspects of transitions:
These agreements help couples addresses differences between separate property and community property in the event of divorce, or death.
Deciding to add a child to a family via adoption is a big step, and legal representation helps protect all parties involved.
Both an emotional and financial issue, divorce should not be undertaken lightly, and both partners should have legal representation.
Parental rights and the best interest of children affected can be complex, and Texas has established strong guidelines for decisions that family law attorneys can help navigate.
As children age, situations change – and decisions made under original child custody agreements may need to be revisited with legal help to modify arrangements.
Most people are familiar with a last will and testament, which specifies how assets are to be distributed after death.
In Texas, the probate process is extremely streamlined assuming a valid, enforceable will is in place, and legal filings are handled promptly and accurately.
When one dies without a valid will (referred to as intestate) and there are claims of heirs, an administration proceeding can help determine how assets are distributed.
When it’s time to call a New Braunfels family law attorney for one of these eight areas, we are here to help.
