Representation in Family Law Cases in Fredericksburg, Texas

We assist with a wide variety of legal matters involving family members and family courts, including:

• Divorce - When dissolving their marriage, spouses will need to address multiple types of issues related to their finances and the property they own. We work to help spouses resolve disputes related to the division of community property, including addressing business ownership and retirement accounts and pensions. We also help spouses address issues related to spousal support. We can work to negotiate a divorce settlement when possible or help our clients resolve disputes through divorce litigation.
• Child custody - Parents who get divorced will need to create a parenting agreement that details how they will share legal custody and how they will divide physical custody or possession of their children. In addition to helping address these issues during the divorce process, we also work with unmarried parents to establish child custody orders. We can also ensure that child support obligations are established based on the decisions made about child custody.
• Paternity - If a mother is not married to the father of her child, paternity will need to be established to ensure that the child will have the right to receive child support. Establishing paternity will also allow child custody orders to be created, and it provides other benefits for the child and the father.
• Prenuptial agreements - A couple can establish a legal agreement that will detail how certain issues will be handled if they get divorced. We work with couples to create agreements that eliminate uncertainty and address issues such as property division or spousal support.
• Child Protective Services - When CPS performs an investigation or takes action to remove a child from their parent's home, we provide representation to ensure that parents will be able to protect their rights and maintain good relationships with their children. We can also help grandparents who are involved in these cases determine how to provide for their grandchildren's best interests.
• Alternative dispute resolution - Attorney Baker is a certified advanced mediator, and he also provides certified advanced arbitration services. We work to help the parties in family law cases resolve disputes outside of court.
