Southlake, TX Divorce Attorney
Southlake, TX Child Custody Lawyer for Child Support, Alimony, Paternity, and Adoption
For many people, nothing is more important than family. Strong bonds between parents, children, and other family members can last a lifetime, and by maintaining these relationships, families can ensure that they will be able to support their loved ones and be there for them in times of need. However, there are some situations where disputes between spouses or parents may affect family relationships, and matters related to the end of a couple's marriage, the custody of children, or other issues that affect family members may need to be settled through the legal system. Those who are involved in these proceedings may not know what to expect, and they may be unsure about how to protect their rights and resolve disputes effectively. Fortunately, with the help of a family law attorney, these cases can be addressed correctly, and spouses, parents, or other family members can rest assured that they will have an experienced legal advocate on their side.
The law office of Daniel R. Bacalis, P.C. helps address multiple types of family-related concerns. We have the experience needed to handle complex legal matters that affect families, and we work to help our clients resolve their legal disputes and ensure that they can maintain important relationships with their loved ones. We work with divorcing spouses to complete the process of marriage dissolution, and we help parents take steps to protect their parental rights while advocating for their children's best interests. We can provide legal help with multiple other types of family law matters, and we also provide guidance to families during the estate planning process.
Compassionate Guidance in Different Types of Family Law Cases
While some family law cases may need to be settled in the courtroom, families can often benefit by working together to resolve disputes and negotiate settlements whenever possible. In many cases, divorce mediation is a good solution for spouses who are willing to cooperate with each other, and family mediation may be used to address other types of legal issues. We provide our clients with representation during the mediation process to help them resolve disputes effectively, but if necessary, we are prepared to pursue litigation and advocate on their behalf in court hearings or trials.
We can provide legal help with issues such as:
- Divorce - Whether a couple will be working together to complete an uncontested divorce or will pursue litigation in a contested divorce, we can help our clients take the correct steps to protect their rights and interests as they end their marriages.
- Child Custody - As part of a divorce case or a situation where unmarried parents have ended their relationship, we can help establish agreements that address conservatorship for children while including visitation schedules.
- Child Support - We work with parents to make sure financial support for their children will be based on an accurate determination of parents' financial resources, as well as children's needs.
- Alimony/Spousal Support - A person who relies on their spouse to provide for their ongoing needs may ask for financial support during and after their divorce. We can provide assistance for those who are requesting alimony or those who are asked to pay support.
- Property and Asset Division - Divorcing spouses will need to divide their community property. We can help address multiple types of complex assets and ensure that property and debts will be divided fairly.
- Post-Divorce Matters - We can provide representation for ex-spouses who wish to make modifications to child support, spousal maintenance, or child custody. We can also help a person take legal action to address cases where the other party has violated a court order.
- Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements - We work with couples who plan to get married or spouses who are currently married to draft and negotiate agreements that will make decisions about property or other financial issues in the event of a divorce.
- Adoption - We help families meet their legal requirements when adopting a child, ensuring that legal parent/child relationships will be established correctly.
- Paternity - In cases where a child's parents are unmarried or when a person other than the mother's spouse is a child's father, we can help establish legal parentage, which will protect parental rights to child custody, ensure that a child can receive child support, and provide other benefits for the child.
- Family Violence - We can help victims of abuse file petitions to receive orders of protection. We can also provide representation for family members who have been accused of committing domestic abuse.
