Divorce can be really frustrating and emotionally taxing. But when you have kids, the stress becomes exponential. It may be difficult explaining to your child that you and your spouse can no longer live together. After all, kids just want their parents to get along. So what can you do to help your child cope with your divorce? The Texas Young Lawyer's Association has created "Kids in the Crossfire" to help parents understand the impact of divorce on your children.
DIVORCE
Divorce can be complex, time consuming, and emotionally taxing. If you are going through a contested divorce, it is recommended that you retain a Family Law Attorney. A Contested Divorce occurs when the spouses cannot agree to the terms of the divorce. These terms include but are not limited to property division, child custody, child support, and spousal support.
Le Law Group help clients through their divorce by zealously representing them in court. Le Law Group also believe in honest, ethical represenatation. We always put our client's interest first. It is our practice to walk through the divorce proceedings with our client so our client is not left out in the dark. We go through great lengths to keep an open communication with our client. We help our clients with issues such as:

Your best option would be to file a petition requesting the Court to enforce the current custody order in place. If you do not have a custody order in place designating specific rights and duties of each conservator, then you must start with a petition to determine parent child relationship.

A premarital agreement is an agreement between two parties who plan to get married but would like a legal professional to help the parties draft an agreement to define what will be separate properties or community property.

Let's face it. Divorce is like throwing in the spectrum of emotions and running it through a blender on high. However, you shouldn't let your emotions get in the way of sound judgment! Of course, it is easier said than done.

What is child custody order?
Usually no one thinks about child custody until after the fact because no one really needs a child custody order to address the issue until after the divorce or separation from their significant other. If you are not in a relationship or you do not have any child(ren) then you do not need to worry about this issue and it is not worth mentioning to your significant other. Additionally, if you are happily married or happily in a committed relationship right now, perhaps you do not need to worry about it at the moment. However, as I stated previously in my premarital agreement section, we are creature of habits, we like routine, and we are planners. Those traits are what keep us alive and thrive for centuries.
What is a contested Divorce?
A contested Divorce is when the parties are not in agreement regarding one, some, or all aspects of the divorce matter that have to do with assets, child(ren) related issues, and/or family violence issues. In this situation, it is best to hire an attorney to represent your interest so that you can be informed of your legal rights and duties as a conservator and give you an assessment regarding assets and liabilities division.
What is an uncontested Divorce?
On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court ruled that marriage equality is a constitutionally protected right allowing same-sex couples to marry nationwide.
Shortly after the Supreme Court's decision, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a statement stating that state workers can refuse to issue same-sex marriage licenses if doing so is contrary to his or her religious beliefs.
