FAMILY LAW
Many times you see Attorneys advertising about how hard they will fight on your behalf, however, when it comes to divorce matters most of the time people do not wish to fight. Often by the time the marital relationship has deteriorated to the point of contemplating divorce people are tired of fighting and no longer wish to fight with one another, but would rather settle the matter in an equitable manner, yet as quickly and painlessly as possible. At Alison Grant, Attorney at Law we are cognizant of this fact and will do our best to honor our client’s wishes and facilitate a fair settlement on their behalf. In many instances we offer reduced rates for divorces where both sides are in agreement as to all issues involved in a divorce action. At Alison Grant, Attorney at Law our goal is to obtain a favorable settlement for our client through means conducive to an amicable separation. However, we at Alison Grant, Attorney at Law recognize that certain situations require aggressive litigation for which we are prepared.
Family law covers a wide and varied range of issues from a legal proceeding establishing who the biological parents are of a particular child to the termination of a marital relationship. Paternity Actions are legal proceedings in which the biological parents of a particular child are determined. Texas protects the rights of a biological father and offers an avenue for him to exercise those rights. By establishing paternity, a biological father exercises his right to create a relationship with his child through regular visitation. If you are the biological mother or biological father of a particular child and wish to protect your rights click on the Paternity Worksheet listed below to fill it out. You may bring this form to your initial consultation.
If you are contemplating getting married and have some concerns regarding your assets, then perhaps you may need a Premarital Agreement. Texas is a “community property” state. Many people use Premarital Agreements to make arrangements for the characterization and disposition of their assets in the event of death or divorce. If you are contemplating marriage and wish to address your concerns regarding your assets click on the Premarital Questionnaire listed below to fill it out. You may bring this form to your initial consultation.
In Texas we have what is normally referred to as “no fault” divorce. Basically this means that when one party to a marriage decides they no longer want to be married they can petition the court to terminate the marriage. Under “no fault” divorce the law attempts to divide the marital assets and liabilities in a “just and right” manner having due regard for each party. If you are contemplating divorce and wish to address your concerns regarding the division of the marital assets and liabilities click on the Schedule of Marital Property listed below to fill it out. You may bring this form to your initial consultation. The form may be lengthy and many portions of it may not apply to your specific case, however, it is necessary to obtain a complete picture of all your marital assets and liabilities.
If you are going through a divorce or have an existing order in which custody, child support, and or visitation is a concern then click on the Modification Worksheet listed below to fill it out. You may bring this form to your initial consultation. Circumstances change and therefore your orders relating to child support, visitation, and custody may need to change with those circumstances. Alison Grant, Attorney at Law may be able to help you modify an existing court order relating to this subject matter.
Did you know that in Texas you can adopt an adult? Alison Grant, Attorney at Law we are prepared to help you with most adoption issues whether they may be agency adoptions, step-parent adoptions, or individual adoptions.
