Representing Parents in Child Custody Disputes — Negotiating Child Support
Texas courts attempt to determine and prioritize the best interests of children in any child custody dispute — whether the situation involves part of a divorce case or is between unmarried parents. As an experienced attorney, Raul A. Guajardo can counsel you on your child custody case's likelihood of success and offer strategies for strengthening that case.
In almost every divorce case involving children, the parent who does not receive physical custody is ordered to pay child support. Basic legal guidelines are in place, but many special circumstances may result in the court increasing or decreasing a child support order. Whether you want to minimize what you are obligated to pay or maximize what you are to receive, presenting your financial situation and other factors accurately can be critical to your financial future.
Postdivorce Modifications — Paternity Actions — SAPCRs — Adoption
