Child Custody – Fighting for Your Parental Rights

Types of Custody Arrangements I Handle:
- Sole custody – When one parent is granted full custody
- Joint custody – When both parents share custody responsibilities
- Legal custody – The right to make decisions regarding the child’s upbringing
- Physical custody – Where the child primarily resides
As an experienced child custody lawyer in Texarkana, I will fight to protect your relationship with your child while working toward a fair and effective custody arrangement.

- Defending against unfair child support claims
As one of the leading child support attorneys in Texarkana, I work to ensure financial fairness for both parents while prioritizing the well-being of the child.
Alimony – Securing Fair Spousal Support
Understanding Alimony in Texas & Arkansas
Alimony, also known as spousal support, is financial assistance provided to a spouse after divorce. Courts consider factors such as income disparity, length of the marriage, and financial needs when determining alimony.
Types of Alimony I Can Help With:
- Temporary alimony – Financial support during divorce proceedings
- Rehabilitative alimony – Support to help a spouse become self-sufficient
- Permanent alimony – Long-term financial support in specific cases
If you are seeking spousal support or believe you are paying unfair alimony, I can help advocate for a fair and just resolution.
Premarital Agreements – Protecting Your Future
Why Consider a Premarital Agreement?
A premarital agreement (prenup) is a legally binding contract that outlines how assets, debts, and financial matters will be handled in the event of a divorce. While some see prenups as unnecessary, they can provide financial security and clarity for both parties.
A Premarital Agreement Can Help With:
- Protecting individual assets acquired before marriage
- Clarifying financial rights and obligations
- Determining spousal support terms
- Safeguarding family-owned businesses
If you’re considering a premarital agreement, I can help draft an agreement that provides peace of mind and legal protection.
