Do I need a family law attorney in Houston TX?

No matter how simple or complicated your family law case is, hiring a family law attorney is ALWAYS a good idea.

An attorney understands how the law works and how it applies to your current situation. Our Houston family law attorneys can help you prepare all the necessary paperwork, avoid mistakes in the filing process, and ensure that everything is submitted on time.

An experienced family attorney can also help you get a better outcome in negotiations. Our Houston family lawyers have years of experience assisting clients and protecting their rights in the divorce process.

When going through the proposed marital settlement agreement with you, a good family law attorney can point errors and omissions in the agreement, like missing marital assets that should’ve been divided. Without the help of an attorney, you might not catch these issues and inconsistencies, which can be difficult and expensive to fix after the case is over. And if you don’t have extensive knowledge or understanding of Texas family laws and Houston city ordinances, you won’t have as much leverage to use when negotiating with the other party.

When you hire a family lawyer, you are hiring a professional to represent and protect you and your family’s interests. At Chargois Harper Attorneys and Counselors At Law, our Houston family law attorney will work with you to protect your rights while resolving the case as quickly as possible, so you can focus on spending time with your loved ones.

How Our Family Law Attorneys Help


Our Houston family law firm is dedicated to helping Texas families like yours find peace and success. We have over 30 years of experience in family law, so we know the ins and outs of Texas family laws. Our culturally diverse legal team helps us understand your situation better, so we can take your circumstances and interests into account and come up with a cost-effective strategy that works for you.

Our Houston divorce attorneys and family lawyers assist in all types of legal matters, including:

  • Divorce Filing. Even in cases of uncontested divorce, there is a lot of paperwork and complicated procedures involved. We can help you file a petition for dissolution of marriage to Texas family court.
  • Division of Assets and Property in Divorce. The most common issue divorcing couples face is how assets, property, and debt should be distributed between both parties.
  • Child Custody. If you and your ex-spouse cannot agree on a custody arrangement, it’s best to reach out to a local family attorney or divorce lawyer. Our Houston family law attorney can help you negotiate with your ex and come up with a custody arrangement that protect your best interests of your child.
  • Visitation & Parenting Plan. When parents divorce, they need to be able to agree on how they plan to raise their children after the marriage is dissolved. This comes in the form of parenting plans, and visitation schedules.
  • Child Support. Every state has different rules for child support. Texas custody and support laws have established child support guidelines to determine how much child support a parent may be required to pay. Our Houston family lawyers will help you file a support claim and calculate how much child support you should pay or receive.
  • Child Abuse and Neglect. Texas family laws protect children from being abused and neglected in their own home. If you’re dealing with a child abuse & neglect case, our Houston family lawyer offers legal services to help ensure the safety of your child. Give us a call if you need legal help with child abuse, child maltreatment and neglect, or child abandonment.
  • Modification of Orders. When life changes, it may be time to modify your family law orders. Our experienced Houston family lawyers can assist you in modifying your custody and visitation orders, updating your parenting plan arrangement, adjusting the amount of child support or alimony, and more.
  • Enforcement of Orders. While a child support order legally requires a parent to provide financial support to their child, they do not always comply with it. Fortunately, there are ways for you to make sure that the court order is enforced. Our Houston family law attorney assists in enforcing child support orders, alimony, and other family law orders.

These are just a few examples of the types of family law matters we handle at Chargois Harper Attorneys & Counselors at Law. If you need assistance with another family law matter not listed above, please fill out the contact form here to find out how we can help you.
