Family law encompasses a wide range of legal needs that include, but are not limited to, divorce. While divorce makes up a large part of what family lawyers do, it cannot be wholly reduced to divorce alone. That doesn't tell the entire story. Instead, families are involved in countless types of disputes where important legal rights are at stake.
When a couple makes the decision to part ways, there are a number of changes that everyone has to accept. The majority of divorces are contentious. Spouses may not see eye-to-eye on critical issues. Those can include the need to divorce, the division of property, and most importantly, custody arrangements for the children.
Family lawyers help those who are resolving a divorce or child custody issues by advocating on behalf of one parent's interests. Since these issues tend to be contentious and adversarial, having a lawyer advocate on your behalf can be essential to settling a child custody hearing in your favor.

The McKinney, Texas and Collin County child custody attorneys at the Tidwell Law Firm, PLLC will advocate for your interests when settling such matters as property division, alimony, child support, and custody.Under Texas law, a child's custodian is called a conservator. Parents are not granted "custody" per se but rather a conservatorship.

The best criminal attorney in Collin County. Jerry is a smart, tough defense attorney who will fight the police and prosecutors to make sure his clients get the best possible outcome. If you hire anyone else you're wasting your money.
