Grapevine, TX Divorce and Child Custody Lawyer for Property Division, Child Support, Visitation, and Paternity

Legal issues that affect families can sometimes be difficult to fully understand, and family members may be uncertain of the best ways to address these matters. In cases where a couple has chosen to end their marriage, spouses will need to understand the steps they will need to take during the divorce process. Divorcing parents will need to make decisions about issues related to their children, and parents who are unmarried may also need to take steps to protect their parental rights, establish custody arrangements, and address issues related to financial support. These are just a few of the situations where a family law attorney can provide invaluable assistance.

Bacalis, P.C., we have multiple decades of experience representing clients in family law cases, helping them resolve disputes, and fighting to protect their rights throughout the legal process. Attorney Bacalis has extensive knowledge of the laws that affect families and the steps that can be taken to resolve multiple types of complex legal concerns. We can provide guidance and representation to ensure that all legal concerns that affect family members will be handled the right way.

Child Custody and Divorce

Family law cases will typically involve issues related to the relationships between married spouses or between parents and children. When parents or other family members need to address matters involving children, family court judges will focus on finding solutions that will protect children's best interests. In cases involving child custody, parents will often be encouraged to share legal custody or conservatorship, and even if children will live with one parent the majority of the time, they will usually be able to have visitation time with the other parent. Our firm can help parents address situations involving both joint custody and sole custody arrangements. We can also make sure child support orders will be based on the correct determination of parents' financial resources so that children's financial needs will be met, and we can address other issues related to child custody, such as grandparents' rights and parental relocation.

While child custody may be a key consideration for parents who choose to divorce, there are multiple other issues that spouses will need to address as they work to end their marriage. Depending on the level of conflict between spouses and the complexity of the issues that will need to be addressed, a couple may pursue either a contested or uncontested divorce. Property division is one of the most important issues that a couple will need to address, and some cases may involve complex property issues such as business valuation or ownership of real estate. If one spouse will be at a financial disadvantage, they may seek spousal maintenance. We can help our clients determine the best approach to matters related to their property and finances, and we will work to negotiate agreements wherever possible to ensure that they can move forward successfully after completing the divorce process. If necessary, we can also help pursue post-judgment modifications or enforcement of divorce orders.
