Texas Family Law Attorneys

Complex Divorces and Family Law Disputes

Be prepared. The truth contained in that old saying cannot be overestimated when it comes to family disputes. Early consultation with a strategic-minded Texas family law attorney can save months of heartaches and headaches — as well as family resources on unnecessary legal fees.

The Houston, Texas, law firm of Myres & Associates, PLLC, focuses its practice on solution-based advocacy for clients in complex divorce cases and other family law disputes. Our Houston divorce attorneys have decades of experience representing clients in intricate family law conflicts and providing strategic advice to minimize conflict and maximize the chance for a positive outcome.

Houston and Galveston Divorce Lawyers

Our practice is focused exclusively on helping individuals and families in complex matters in divorce, child custody disputes and related matters, and other family law services.

Divorce:

Considering divorce ? Make a plan before you file the lawsuit. Has your spouse threatened a divorce? Know your options before you are caught off guard.
If you have significant assets that you may have owned before marriage of acquired after marriage, including multiple homes, vacation properties or significant retirement benefits, you need a high net worth divorce lawyer at our firm who is equipped to handle the complexities of your divorce.
Has your marital union accumulated significant assets or debt? Get advice about the laws of property valuation and division or bankruptcy to help you plan for the future. Our law firm also provides valuable advice to those who are divorcing with debt and need to understand their options.
Are you concerned about maintaining your standard of living following a long-term marriage? Are you worried about supporting yourself after a long period out of the workforce? We can explain Texas spousal support and help you negotiate a fair resolution of support disputes when support is warranted.

Child Custody and Related Issues:

Worried about your time with your children or the parenting ability of your spouse? Child custody and visitation conflicts can be the most emotionally and financially costly of all family law battles. Is your worry created by concern over mental stability or substance abuse problems of the other parent? Our attorneys have exceptional experience addressing those concerns.
Do any of your children have special needs?
Do you want to know how to best financially provide for your children? Plan for their futures by understanding Texas child support and medical support guidelines.
Are you an unmarried parent? Unmarried parents have legal rights and obligations that are substantially equal to the rights of married parents. A paternity action is the formal legal method of creating and enforcing those rights and obligations.
Are you a grandparent, same-sex parent or close family friend who wants rights to child custody? A consultation to discuss non-parent custodial rights may be the best way to answer your custody questions.

Post-Judgment Custody and Support Issues:

Do you see trouble on the horizon with regard to following the terms of an existing divorce decree? Does the other parent refuse to honor the visitation schedule? Are child support payments notoriously late or has the paying parent refused to pay child support obligations? Learn about enforcement and contempt actions.
Life plans change after a divorce, and the terms of your original agreement may no longer apply. How difficult will it be to negotiate a formal modification to the terms of child support, child custody or visitation arrangements? Is a court action really necessary? What should you do if you or the other parent wish to relocate with the children ? We can explain Texas parental relocation issues.

Other Family Law Services:

Same-sex couples, whether legally married or not, have significant rights to custody, visitation, and property.
Are you planning to marry? Do you have significant personal or business assets or children from a previous marriage? A prenuptial agreement may be appropriate.
Are you a foreign national with property or children with ties to Texas? International family law matters are legally complex and deserve early attention from attorneys with multijurisdictional experience and resources. Foreign nationals whose children establish residency in the United States are subject to the Hague Conventions for the prevention of international child abduction. Parents who do not understand the restrictions on their actions under the Hague Conventions run serious risks with regard to custody of their children.
Mental health issues often are present in the fabric of family law problems. The ability to identify and address mental health issues or addictions can help families resolve complex issues.
Changes in the structure of a family often require modifications to wills, trusts and other estate planning documents. Forgetting to alter a will or other testamentary documents or your employee benefits after a divorce may complicate the distribution of your estate.

Adversarial litigation is not always advisable or necessary to resolve a family dispute. Mediation, collaborative law and arbitration are three forms of alternative dispute resolution that may be more attractive than publicly airing a private family problem in divorce litigation. Our attorneys offer diverse experience representing clients through all forums.
