Divorces usually include many issues and can be quite confusing. Divorces are difficult and emotional for all parties, but especially for any children who may be involved. At the Knight & Franz Law Firm, PLLC, our attorneys will take the time to explain the divorce process and listen to your concerns.
Spousal Maintenance
While court ordered alimony is prohibited in Texas (however, contractual alimony is permitted), spousal maintenance can be ordered in some limited circumstances. Our lawyers will analyze your individual case to determine whether you owe spousal maintenance or if you are owed spousal maintenance.
Pre and Post-Marital Agreements
Marital agreements allow spouses (or future spouses) to exchange or recharacterize property and to affect other aspects of the marital relationship.
Pre-marital agreements are executed prior to marriage, whereas post-marital agreements are executed after two people are married. Particular rules govern the provisions of these documents and sometimes limit what can be accomplished through them. The attorneys at the Knight & Franz Law Firm, PLLC, will draft and negotiate these documents for you.
Child Support
Parents have a duty to support their children while the children are minors and sometimes even longer. Many factors are taken into account when determining the amount of child support, and this amount is sometimes modified by the court. Our lawyers will help resolve these issues to ensure your child is cared for and that the amount of child support is equitable and just.
Child Custody and Visitation
Child custody and visitation are among the most important issues in family law. The best interest of the child is the paramount issue in these matters. Each parent or conservator has particular rights and duties that are owed to the child. We understand that you are concerned about your child and we will work to resolve these conflicts for you.
Paternity
Paternity suits may be brought by a number of different individuals and may involve genetic testing. At times certain men are presumed to be a child’s father. At the Knight & Franz Law Firm, PLLC, we will work to protect your rights.
