Forth Worth Family & Domestic Relations Lawyers
Loe Warren’s family law attorneys strive to provide a sense of stability to clients struggling with the emotional and physical upheaval of a divorce, custody battle or other family law matter. We work closely with clients to determine their needs and desires and set out a legal strategy for achieving them.
Our family law clients have diverse situations, from complex, contentious divorces or custody disputes to a modest, amicable divorce. Therefore, we offer diverse approaches to address those situations. Our two board-certified family law specialists and one widely recognized family law attorney combine efforts to cover the spectrum of client needs. If a client requires an attorney who uses aggressive, take-no-names tactics – we are happy to oblige. If a more subtle carrot-and-stick approach is desired, we can help there, too.
We work diligently on our clients’ behalf so that they can concentrate on caring for their family.
Our firm offers family law services in a myriad of areas, including:
- Divorce (Contested & Uncontested)
- Children’s Issues - custody, visitation, child and spousal support
- Prenuptial / Post-Marital Agreements
Divorce
Our Fort Worth divorce lawyers realize that no two divorces are alike – each involves issues unique to the specific client. We will negotiate, or, if necessary, litigate a resolution that addresses all of a client’s issues, including child custody, visitation and support, division of assets and alimony.
Our attorneys are veteran divorce lawyers. We have decades of experience in handling all types of divorces, including complex, high-income and large-asset cases. We have experienced investigators and forensic accounting experts who value client assets and liabilities, assess the tax implications of major divorce-related decisions, and locate and document the income and assets of all parties, including corporate or business interests, commercial and residential real estate, stocks, securities, commodities, insurance, intellectual property and off-shore accounts.
Our attorneys have extensive courtroom experience handling hearings, trials and appeals. We also are skilled in mediation of divorce cases and handle legal separations and annulments.
Children’s Issues
Our goal is, when practical, to provide both parents with frequent and continuing contact with their children, and to reduce conflict so that a divorce or separation has minimal impact on the children.
When it comes to children’s future, there may be no greater impact than the custody arrangement that is negotiated. One parent or both parents may make the vital decisions concerning a child – education, residence and medical. Whether you seek individual, joint, or shared custody of your children, our attorneys can seek an arrangement that is reasonable and is best for you and your children.
Visitation is when a non-custodial parent is permitted to spend time with his / her child. We help parents obtain possession arrangements tailored to their schedules and their children’s best interests.
When negotiation fails to provide a visitation or custody agreement amenable to all parties, our firm will fight in court for our clients’ rights. When visitation and custody orders are violated, we will go to court to see they are enforced. We also can petition the court to modify agreements or orders when family needs or situations change.
A divorce agreement also should adequately provide for your and your children’s financial needs. Loe Warren attorneys have decades of experience negotiating fair child support, medical support, and spousal support (alimony) payments. We can advise whether clients are receiving too little or paying too much in either spousal or child support.
We also counsel clients when circumstances change and require modification of the level of support. Additionally, we help ensure support orders are properly enforced.
Prenuptial / Post-Marital Agreements
Marital property agreements such as pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements are an important tool in helping to prevent disputes in a variety of situations. Marital property agreements can benefit not only those people with complicated property and financial arrangements, but also those people who want to protect assets that may be acquired in the future, or who want to try to reduce potential liability. It is prudent that certain kinds of property acquired before and after a marriage be identified and their potential future disposition clearly set forth. This can help avoid the headaches and expense of litigation in the event of a divorce or death.
Loe Warren family law attorneys can customize a pre-marital or post-marital agreement that sets out each party’s assets, debts and property rights and settles how property and spousal support will be handled in the event of a divorce or death. Our experience permits us to draft documents that can withstand court challenges.
Pre-nuptial agreements can help distribute an estate according to the party’s wishes, can protect property from creditors, and can protect the interests of children in that property. A post-nuptial agreement is a voluntary contract created after marriage. Post-nuptial agreements can help resolve issues in a marriage by ending disagreements over finances, assets, children and even chores. The agreements can stop conflict and promote harmony. Post-nuptial agreements also can be beneficial if the financial status of either spouse changes, such as through a career change, an inheritance, change in investments or the selling of a business.
