Complex Custody Cases

We can help.

Child Custody in Texas Family Law

In Texas, the commonly used phrase "Child Custody" is divided into three major categories:

Conservatorship: Refers to the rights and duties of being a parent in relation to others who share responsibilities toward the child.

Possession and Access: Involves the schedule and terms under which parties spend time with their children.

Child Support: Encompasses court-ordered payments, including health and dental insurance as well as cash medical support.

Collaborative Solutions for Child Custody

At Adam W. Dietrich PC – Family Law, we believe the best outcomes are achieved when parents and others involved in a child’s life collaborate to create child-focused solutions. Agreements made outside of court are more likely to:

Be upheld during conflicts

Adapt as the child’s schedule and needs change

Be modified through mutual agreement if orders become unworkable

However, intense conflict, mental health problems, parental alienation, or domestic violence can make such agreements impossible. In these situations, having a strong attorney to craft a plan that prioritizes your child’s wellbeing is vital.

Assertive Representation in Texas Child Custody Cases

We provide diligent and assertive representation for families navigating child custody disputes. While emergency court interventions are sometimes necessary, proactive planning can often prevent crises and reduce associated trauma.

Whether you are:

A parent contemplating divorce
A single parent
A relative concerned about a child’s wellbeing

What Our Clients Are Saying

Wonderful Family Law Attorney - GO HIRE ADAM! I hired Adam from out of state to represent me on a complicated child custody case. He and his associates were wonderful to work with, skillful, knowledgeable and caring.

I sincerely felt that my best interests were served. Hiring Adam was the best decision I could have made. Adam was brilliant in court and did a ton of preparation work for my case.

Lauren handled both my divorce and my custody modification case. She was so helpful and understanding during a very trying time in our lives. She always communicated in a timely and clear manner with me, made sure that I understood everything, and was very supportive during the mediation and hearings.

I cannot recommend her enough. Lauren sincerely cares about her clients and it shows.

The odds were stacked against me... and I prevailed. I can't thank Adam and his staff of professionals enough for their guidance and extraordinary efforts to help me win my case.

Best legal decision that I have ever made.

Most ethical, honest attorney I have ever met! Lauren handled my child custody case and was completely honest and upfront about what was possible and not possible. She was always available when I called or had a question. I would recommend her to anyone… her honesty and integrity are beyond reproach. I have my kids safe with me. I can't recommend Lauren enough. I would give her 10 stars!

Mr. Dietrich gave me truthful facts of what he could and could not do for my case. He never led me on or told me what I “wanted to hear.” His honesty is what convinced me I wanted to hire him to represent me. He has done everything he said he could and would do on our case.

We are treated like real people. He knows what he is doing and enjoys it. I highly recommend Adam.
