I am an Arlington Divorce Attorney who has helped numerous clients through the divorce process. I strive to see that you maintain dignity through the divorce process and develope co-parenting skills without conflict. My goal is to understand your needs and ensure that we develop a strategy that will protect you and your children’s rights. I will work to expedite your divorce case and resolve all issues to your satisfaction without lengthy court battles, high legal fees and unnecessary paperwork.

Unfortunately, today over half of all marriages end in divorce. Divorce law will vary by state and if you are considering divorce and live in Tarrant county, I would appreciate the opportunity to help you during this divorce process. 

Divorce can be a painful experience, and I am sensitive to the affects it can have on all parties. I understand the responsibility that I have and will work closely with you to develop creative solutions for your family. There are three types of divorce:  Non-contested, Contested and Collaborative.  Non-contested divorces are when you and your spouse agree on all property and child issues in the divorce. You basically have an agreement incident to the divorce.

Unfortunately, in some highly contentious divorce proceedings, opposing counsel may become adversarial and at that point the divorce becomes a contested process. My firm can work aggressively with you to provide the legal knowledge required to protect your future.

Collaborative law is a process in which the parties work closely with their individual attonreys to develop long term plans that address the concerns of the family. It’s a team approach that is handled out of court. In a Collaborative case, coersion is not part of the process.  As a Collaborative Law trained attorney, I recognize that although the marriage may be ending, the relationship and obligations of the parties, continue. This process keeps the divorce process in the hands of the parties.

If you are filing for divorce there are a variety of issues we will need to discuss including:

  • Child Support
  • Custody and Visitation Rights
  • Division of Property and Assets
  • Post Divorce Spousal Maintenance
  • Temporary Spousal Support
  • Parental Rights and Duties
  • Restraining Orders
  • Permanent Injunctions
  • Divorce Options
  • Paternity Issues
  • Community and Seperate Liabilities

If you live in Tarant county and need a divorce attorney, I am only a phone call away. My staff and I are here to help you. I understand that divorce is emotional and I can help resolve your family issues in a caring and compassionate manner with the invaluable knowledge and insight I have gained practicing family law and working with families in crisis.

The main goal is to resolve all cases as amicably as possible, while maintaining the ability to aggressively protect your interests if necessary. Divorce can be a difficult experience with uncertainty and anger. If you do not have a strong lawyer looking out for your interests, you could end up coerced into settling for less than you are entitled. Please don’t make that mistake. Contact my office today to set up a consultation so I can develop a plan of action to insure that you and your childrens’ future is secure while making the divorce transition as smooth as possible.
