Understanding Family Law
Cases at Lighthouse Legal Services

Family law covers a wide range of legal issues related to family relationships. At Lighthouse Legal Services we work with clients on matters of divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, domestic violence, annulment , and other family-related issues. Each case is unique and requires personalized attention to address its specific circumstances and achieve the best possible outcome.

Child Support

Child support is an aspect of family law that ensures children receive the financial support they need. Our attorneys deeply understand child support guidelines and calculations, considering factors such as income, expenses, and the child's needs. We assist our clients in navigating the complexities of child support matters, advocating for fair and reasonable support arrangements. By addressing child support matters through legal channels, family law helps safeguard the rights and welfare of children.

Child Custody

Child custody cases require careful consideration and sensitivity. We recognize the importance of maintaining healthy parent-child relationships while prioritizing a child's well-being. Therefore, our attorneys work closely with clients to develop custody arrangements that promote stability and nurture the child's growth. Whether negotiating joint custody or determining visitation schedules, we strive to protect our clients’ parental rights and create arrangements that serve the best interests of the child or children.

Fathers' Rights

Lighthouse Legal Services believes in protecting fathers' rights and ensuring equal opportunities for fathers’ involvement in their children's lives. Our knowledgeable attorneys will advocate for your parental rights in family court, assisting you in matters related to child custody, visitation rights, and parenting plans. We'll work alongside our clients so fathers and their children can foster a strong bond, as we work diligently to protect healthy parent-child relationships.

Paternity

Establishing paternity is crucial for legal and parental rights. Lighthouse Legal Services can assist you in paternity matters, providing guidance and support. Our legal team will help you navigate DNA testing, court proceedings, and establishing parental rights. We protect your interests and ensure that parentage rights and the responsibilities associated with paternity are appropriately recognized and upheld.

Divorce Cases

Divorce can be emotionally challenging and legally complex. Our experienced and respected divorce attorneys will guide clients through the entire divorce process, ensuring their rights are protected while striving for amicable resolutions whenever possible. We handle various aspects of divorce cases, including property division, spousal support, and the development of parenting plans. As family lawyers, we provide comprehensive legal support, helping clients through the divorce process and achieving a favorable outcome.

Uncontested Divorces

In cases where spouses can reach a mutual agreement, an uncontested divorce provides a smooth and cost-effective solution. At Lighthouse Legal Services, we provide legal assistance for uncontested divorces, guiding you through the necessary steps to dissolve your marriage amicably. Our law firm will help you navigate the legal requirements, draft the required documents, and closely monitor the process to protect your rights and interests. We strive to make the uncontested divorce process as stress-free as possible for family members, allowing you to move forward with your life.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence is a serious concern within family law, and cases require urgent attention and specialized legal assistance. Our compassionate attorneys provide support and guidance to victims of domestic violence, helping them obtain restraining orders and protect their safety. We unequivocally advocate for victims' rights and ensure they have the legal protection they need to escape abusive situations.

Call the Texas Abuse Hotline (1-800-252-5400) if you have an urgent situation.

Spousal Support

Spousal support, often called alimony, is another element of family law. It aims to provide financial assistance to the spouse who may be financially disadvantaged or unable to support themselves independently following a divorce or separation. Family law provides a framework to evaluate the factors relevant to spousal support, including the length of the marriage, the earning capacity of each spouse, and the standard of living during the marriage. Our attorneys understand the factors considered in determining spousal support and fight for you to maintain your same standard of living as during the marriage.

Annulment

In cases where a marriage is void or voidable, our attorneys at Lighthouse Legal Services assist clients in pursuing annulments. We guide individuals through the legal process, assessing the marriage's circumstances and working to dissolve it as if it never occurred. We aim to protect our clients’ rights and help them with the legal steps associated with an annulment.

Prenuptial Agreements

Prenuptial agreements, also known as marital agreements, play a role in protecting family relationships and assets in the event a marriage later dissolves. Family law attorneys recognize the importance and validity of these agreements in addressing potential legal issues that may arise in a divorce. By assisting clients in drafting comprehensive prenuptial agreements, we help safeguard their marital property, establish guidelines for spousal support, and address potential sources of conflict, allowing couples to focus on building a solid foundation for their relationship.

Mediation

Mediation can be a valuable alternative to court litigation in family law matters. Lighthouse Legal Services offers mediation services to help clients resolve their disputes collaboratively and amicably. Our skilled mediators facilitate constructive communication and assist in finding mutually beneficial solutions. We can guide you to use mediation successfully and reach agreements that meet your needs, those of your minor children, and your family's general best interests.

Adoption

Adoption forms a critical part of family law and has the power to change lives by creating new familial bonds. Whether you're considering private adoption, international adoption, or adopting through a public agency, our knowledgeable attorneys guide prospective parents through each step, from initial filings to post-adoption adjustments, ensuring a seamless transition for the family. We treat every adoption case with the sensitivity it deserves, helping clients to keep the focus on the best interests of the child and the family as a whole.
