Child Custody

Click Here to give us more information

If you and your partner have a child and you are separating, then you may have fears and doubts about what will happen to your relationship with your child or children! You may be wondering: “How do I get through this?” What is this going to cost? How can I protect my interests? What are my rights? How do I protect myself from someone who is mean or vindictive or greedy? Can I do this on my own?

Shannon Family Law can help you answer all of these questions. We offer a Initial 30 minute consultation. We want to learn about your situation and help you plan your next steps. Call 512-733-8259 to schedule your initial consult. Before you hire anyone, call us to feel how you like working with our team. We place high value on frequent communication so you know how your case is being handled.

Unmarried parents need a “parenting plan” for their child or children. A “parenting plan” is usually in a court order from a custody lawsuit (in legalese “A Suit Affecting a Parent-Child Relationship” or “SAPCR”). However, sometimes parties are able to make their own “parenting plan” by an agreement. If you are going to avoid the courts and make your own plan, then getting help from a family law attorney can save your money in the long run and make the plan last longer without court involvement.

A custody suit is included in every divorce with children under the age of 18 years and/or not yet graduated from high school.

A “custody suit” may involve some of the following topics and issues: “right and duties”, “periods of possession”, “child support”, “health and dental support”, “supervised visitation”, “domestic violence” and other issues.

Sometimes when unmarried parents separate, one partner will contact the Child Support Division of the Texas Attorney General (OAG). The OAG can file a lawsuit to establish parentage and set-up child support. If you have been served with papers by the OAG, then you should get legal help before an Order gets signed by a judge.

Call Shannon Family Law for your Initial 30 minute consultation. Call 512-733-8259 to schedule your initial consult. You will learn how you feel about working with our team to manage your case. Competitive pricing. We will help you select the best processes to handle your case.
