Uncontested Divorces An “uncontested” divorce is where both parties agree on all issues involved in the divorce, including property division, child support, custody, visitation, and alimony. In many instances, as a San Antonio attorney, I may even be able to obtain a final divorce for you without requiring you to step into a courtroom. I offer flat rate fees for parties who agree on all issues and are prepared to finalize the matters in a settlement agreement.
Divorce
A new study done by scientists at Harvard University, Brown University and UC San Diego finds that divorce is a contagion that can spread through social groups like a virus, weakening the marriages closest to it. In fact, the breakup of a close friend’s marriage can increase the likelihood of your own marriage ending by a whopping 75 percent!
Custody
Make no mistake about it, when a custody dispute goes to court it is always a dirty business. Your chances of winning depend entirely upon your ability to convince the judge that you are a fit and capable parent, while your former partner is as incompetant and unloving as a care-giver as you are competant and compassionate.
Child Support Modification
Child custody issues do not end with the divorce decree. Circumstances change. For instance, one of the parents might move out of the county, the state, or even the country and take the child. As a San Antonio child custody attorney, I have extensive experience with interstate and international custody cases. There may be abuse issues or other legal problems that need to be addressed by the court. One parent could remarry, changing the family structure. A child could express a preference to change where he or she wants to live.
Child Custody Disputes
Texas law assumes that most divorcing parents will be made joint managing conservators of their children. This does not mean that the child will live half of the time with Dad and half with Mom. Conservatorship involves the rights, powers, duties, and responsibilities of parents, not how much time they have the kids. In the typical joint managing conservator (JMC) order, both parents share most rights, such as the power to consult with school officials and doctors about the child. Some rights belong to a parent only when they have the child (such as the power to discipline).
"Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?" - Mary Manin Morrissey

Couples living in modern society are faced with new and daunting challenges their parents didn't have to consider. Impending wars in foreign countries, the importance of finding a full-time career and producing stable children in a very unstable world are some of the pressures most often leading to divorce. read more...
