If you are a parent, your children are probably your absolute number one priority in life. Our attorneys want to help you protect the precious bond you share with your children. Texas courts always strive to make decisions that are in the best interests of the child, just as you do.

Child custody involves two separate issues - conservatorship, and possession and access. Conservatorship refers to decision-making power regarding the child's upbringing, such as how they will be educated and how their medical and psychiatric care will be handled. Conservatorship can be joint, or it may be awarded solely to one parent.

Possession and access refers to the amount of time you will spend with your child and under what circumstances. The court considers a handful of factors in deciding who should have primary custody, so there is room for us to craft strong arguments designed to maximize your time with your children.

Your child is entitled to be financially supported by both parents. If you are given primary custody, we will help ensure that your child is receiving the entire amount of child support they deserve, which is calculated as a percentage of the non-custodial parent's monthly income. Magaña & Van Dyke puts children first in these cases.

Whether you expect your divorce to be amicable or highly contentious, we are prepared to protect your interests. Often, the division of marital property is one of the greatest sources of conflict for divorcing spouses.

Texas is a community property state - anything you and your spouse acquired during your marriage is owned equally by both of you. This includes any contributions made to a retirement account during the marriage, even if only one spouse worked and earned an income. Our state's law presumes that both spouses contributed equally to the marriage. There are exceptions to the community property rule, however. Any personal injury lawsuit funds, gifts, or inheritances remain the separate property of the spouse they were intended for.

Magaña & Van Dyke wants to make sure you are left in the best position possible following your divorce. For every factor the court considers in property division and when awarding alimony, we will argue in your favor.
