Family Law-Related Civil Claims We Handle
Divorce
Divorce is never easy—but having the right legal support can make a world of difference. Whether you and your spouse agree on the terms (uncontested) or are facing disagreements that require litigation (contested), our Austin divorce attorney will work to resolve your divorce efficiently while protecting your financial and parental rights.
Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship (SAPCR)
When parents are unmarried or separating, an SAPCR determines essential legal matters including custody, visitation, child support, and more. These suits are vital to legally establish each parent’s role. We help ensure your child’s best interests are front and center while preserving your parental rights.
Child Custody and Visitation
Legal and physical custody decisions shape your child’s daily life and future. Whether you’re establishing custody for the first time or seeking to modify or enforce an existing order, ME Law provides experienced and compassionate representation. Our Austin child custody lawyer helps parents craft parenting plans that work, and advocates for fair solutions when agreements break down.
Child Support
Child support ensures a child’s needs are met, regardless of family structure. Our Austin child support lawyer assists with calculating appropriate child support under Texas guidelines, petitioning for modifications when circumstances change, and pursuing enforcement when a parent fails to pay. Your child’s stability is our priority.

Spousal Support and Alimony
Spousal support and alimony may be ordered to help one spouse maintain financial stability post-divorce. We evaluate eligibility, advocate for fair terms, and handle requests for modification or enforcement when needed.
Property Division
Texas is a community property state, meaning most property acquired during the marriage is subject to division. Our team works to ensure a clear distinction between community and separate property, advocates for equitable division, and protects your financial interests in even the most complex property disputes.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
A well-drafted prenup or post-nup can prevent future conflict and offer clarity about financial matters. Whether you’re planning ahead or seeking to protect your assets mid-marriage, we draft and review enforceable agreements tailored to your unique situation.
Paternity Actions
Establishing paternity is crucial for securing parental rights and responsibilities. Whether you’re a parent seeking child support, visitation, or legal recognition, we guide you through the legal process to obtain a paternity order and define your parental rights.
Enforcement Actions
When the other party fails to follow a court order—whether it’s unpaid child support or denied visitation—we take swift legal action to enforce compliance. Our Austin family law attorney helps protect your rights and ensures accountability through appropriate legal remedies.

Protective Orders for Family Violence
If you or your child are facing family violence, our Austin family law firm acts quickly to pursue protective orders that provide legal safeguards. We understand the urgency and sensitivity of these situations and offer both strong advocacy and compassionate support throughout the process.
Grandparents’ Rights and Third-Party Custody Claims
Texas law allows grandparents and other third parties to seek custody or visitation in specific circumstances. If you’re concerned about a child’s safety or stability, we can help you understand your legal standing and pursue an appropriate course of action.
Termination of Parental Rights
In rare but serious cases, the court may terminate a parent’s rights due to neglect, abuse, or abandonment, or through voluntary relinquishment. Whether you are seeking to terminate rights or are defending against a termination suit, ME Law ensures your side is heard and your legal rights are protected.
