Resolving Disputes over Child Custody and Child Support
Disagreements over primary physical custody of the children or the details of a parenting plan are very often the most difficult issues in a divorce case, even more than property division or alimony disputes. For practical advice and skilled representation in a Tarrant County child custody case, contact the Colleyville law firm of Brooks P. Lynn, Attorney at Law.
With 15 years of experience in divorce and family law, Brooks Lynn has the legal knowledge necessary to help you understand your rights and obligations in both divorce cases and disputes between unmarried parents. He can help you formulate, negotiate and present the parenting plan that divorcing parents are encouraged to prepare together. In cases where agreement is difficult or impossible to achieve, he can help you get the most out of such family court support programs as private mediation, court-appointed parenting coordinator services, or the Tarrant County access facilitation program that focuses on visitation problems.
As an experienced divorce lawyer, Brooks Lynn can also help with child custody and visitation problems that involve any of the following complicating circumstances:
- History of family violence, domestic assault, or restraining order violations
- Children with special needs due to a disability, emotional problem, or talent
- Preexisting obligations for child support through a prior marriage or relationship
- Mental health problems on the part of either parent
- Alcohol or drug abuse problems
- Enforcement of previous child custody or child support commitments
- Modification of child custody, parenting time or child support arrangements on the grounds of substantially changed circumstances
Whether or not you were ever married to the other parent, a child custody dispute can cause serious problems for the children caught in the middle, and our sensible approach to the legal resolution of these issues can help you develop a practical strategy for achieving your goals while keeping the best interests of your children squarely in mind. Because past problems like chemical dependency or a domestic violence restraining order can seriously weaken your legal position on any parenting issue, we can also help you get access to community services and support you as you build your strength as a mother or father.
Most of all, we understand that your future relationship with your own children is at stake in any child custody dispute. We do everything we can to keep that relationship on a solid footing and to build it up as necessary. For additional information about our ability to protect the integrity of your parent-child relationship, contact Brooks P. Lynn, Attorney at Law in Colleyville.
