Divorce

The end of a marriage can often be an extremely frustrating and lengthy process.

 Custody and Support

When discussing child custody and support, often people immediately think of divorce, but there are numerous situations in which the legal interests of children need to be decided. Brooks Harrison – Attorneys at Law, PLLC and its partners have handled cases involving:

• Third-party rights and grandparent rights

• Fathers’ and mothers’ rights

• Unmarried partners

• Same-sex partners

• Child custody and visitation

• Paying for college

• Child and spousal support

• Remarriage

• Temporary custody motions

• Parenting plans

• Special-needs children

 Third-Party Rights

In Texas, there are not any explicit rights given to grandparents or close relatives of a child when it comes to custody and visitation, unless it is seen to be in the best interest of the child. Speaking with a family law attorney can help you determine if it is possible to seek visitation rights or if custody is an option.

Unmarried Partners with Children

Situations involving unmarried parents can be particularly complex and it is of the utmost importance to secure the legal counsel of an attorney specializing in family law.

Support Obligations

Although Texas has stringent legal guidelines regarding child and spousal support, not all aspects of financial planning are covered by statute. If you have a child with special needs, he or she may need child support well beyond turning 18. In these situations, a petition needs to be filed before the child reaches that age to ensure that both parents provide for the child’s needs in the future.

Marijuana

A conviction for a marijuana offense in Texas can result in serious penalties and negative repercussions. Although this substance is widely used throughout our state and nation as a recreational drug, marijuana can and often does result in a jail or prison sentence, ridiculous fines, driver’s license suspension, and a criminal record.

If you have been charged with a marijuana offense in Texas, it is vitally important to remember that you will not necessarily be ultimately convicted of an offense. The government’s prosecution is required to prove you committed every element of the marijuana offense beyond a reasonable doubt. This is not an easy burden to prove and any doubt in the mind of the jury or judge may possibly result in a dismissal or reduction of the charges against you. Contact Brooks Harrison – Attorneys at Law, PLLC to help you create your best legal defense.
