Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Child Custody Work in Galveston?

In Galveston, child custody cases prioritize the welfare and best interests of the child. Courts consider several factors, including each parent's ability to provide a stable environment, the child's physical and emotional needs, and any history of family violence or substance abuse. Joint managing conservatorship is common in Texas, allowing both parents to make significant decisions about the child's upbringing. However, sole managing conservatorship may be awarded if it best serves the child's needs. As your family attorney in Galveston, I guide you through this intricate process, crafting tailored legal strategies that uphold family integrity while advocating for parental rights within Texas guidelines.

What Should I Expect During a Divorce Proceeding?

Divorce in Galveston involves various stages, including filing a petition, serving papers, and negotiating settlements on asset division and support. The process can be amicable or contentious, depending on the circumstances. Factors such as community property laws, which dictate equitable division of marital assets, play a crucial role. As a family law lawyer in Galveston, I commit to helping clients understand these complexities, offering clear guidance through every phase, and striving for resolutions that reflect fair outcomes for all parties involved.

How Is Child Support Determined in Texas?

Child support in Texas is calculated using statutory guidelines, primarily based on the non-custodial parent's income and the number of children requiring support. The courts may adjust amounts to cover special medical needs or educational expenses. It is vital to keep accurate records of income and any changes in circumstances, as these can influence support obligations. At The Karenko Law Firm PLLC, I work with clients to ensure the child support orders are just and reflective of their financial standing, always aiming for arrangements that best serve the children's needs.
