Texas Family Law Attorney
Strong Support Through Life’s Most Personal Legal Matters
Family law issues are rarely simple, but you don’t have to handle them alone. From divorce to custody and everything in between, we offer steady, solutions-focused legal guidance to help you protect what matters most.
Most people don’t expect to need a family lawyer. Until something changes.
Maybe it’s your marriage. Maybe it’s your children. Maybe it’s your future—financial, personal, legal—that suddenly needs a plan.
At Flatiron Legal Advisors, we help you move through those moments with clarity, calm, and care. Family law isn’t just paperwork—it’s a way of protecting what matters, at a time when things might feel uncertain.
Whether you’re starting a new chapter or ending one, we’re here to help you make decisions that hold up—legally and emotionally.
Helping You Make the Right Call for Your Family
Family law isn’t only for people in crisis. It’s for people who care about getting it right.
We work with individuals and families across Texas who want smart, steady legal guidance when the stakes are personal:
- Parents building custody arrangements that work in real life
- Couples separating with care and clear boundaries
- People protecting children, property, or long-term financial plans
- Partners preparing for marriage with transparency and trust
- Business owners who need personal and professional interests aligned
You don’t need to have everything figured out before you call. That’s our job. We’ll help you make sense of what’s ahead and take the pressure off your plate, step by step.
Our Family Law Services in Texas
We believe good family law representation starts with listening. Before we talk strategy or statutes, we need to understand your story, your priorities, and what “winning” actually looks like for you and your family.
Divorce
Ending a marriage is never just about paperwork. It’s about untangling two lives that were meant to be forever intertwined. Texas recognizes both no-fault and fault-based grounds for divorce, but regardless of the legal basis, the emotional and practical challenges remain profound.
We guide Texas clients through:
- Uncontested divorces when both parties can agree on major issues
- Contested divorces requiring negotiation or litigation
- High-asset divorces involving complex property division
- Military divorces with unique federal considerations
- Collaborative divorces for those seeking cooperative solutions
We’ll help you understand Texas’s community property laws, work through the division of assets and debts, and ensure your interests are protected throughout the process.
Child Custody (Conservatorship)
In Texas, we call it conservatorship, but you know it as custody—and it’s likely the issue keeping you up at night. Nothing matters more than ensuring your children are safe, loved, and thriving.
We help parents work through:
- Joint Managing Conservatorship arrangements
- Sole Managing Conservatorship when necessary
- Possession and access schedules (visitation)
- Geographic restrictions on where children can live
- Rights and duties regarding education, medical care, and daily decisions
Texas courts prioritize the best interests of children. We help you present your case in a way that demonstrates why your proposed arrangement serves that standard.
Child Support
Children deserve financial stability, regardless of their parents’ relationship status. Texas uses specific guidelines to calculate child support based on the paying parent’s income and the number of children.
We assist with:
- Initial child support determinations
- Enforcement of existing orders
- Modifications when circumstances change
- Medical support and health insurance issues
- Educational and extracurricular expenses
Whether you’re seeking support or facing an obligation, we ensure the calculations are accurate and the arrangements are fair.
Spousal Support (Alimony)
Texas has strict limitations on spousal maintenance, but it’s available in certain circumstances. We help clients understand when spousal support applies and advocate for appropriate arrangements based on factors like:
- Length of the marriage
- Each spouse’s ability to provide for their needs
- Education and employment history
- Contributions as a homemaker
- Family violence considerations
Property Division
Texas is a community property state, but “equal” doesn’t always mean “half.” We help you handle the complexities of dividing:
- Real estate and homes
- Retirement accounts and pensions
- Business interests
- Investments and savings
- Debts and liabilities
- Personal property
Our goal is to secure a division that’s not just legally sound but practically workable for your future.
Protective Orders
When family violence threatens safety, immediate action is crucial. We help victims obtain protective orders and represent those accused of family violence in defending their rights. These cases require both urgency and sensitivity—qualities we bring to every matter.
