Divorce Lawyers in Houston : A few weeks ago I was doing consultations with prospective clients of the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC on a Saturday morning when a husband and wife walked in to speak with us. I came to find out that the wife had two children from her prior marriage and her current husband was interested in formally adopting his step children. For all the children out there who don’t have any parents who take a strong interest in them, I was happy to see that there were two kids out there that probably have gone through some stressful times that have two loving parents in their lives. Make no mistake that this is not a consultation that the attorneys with the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC take on a regular basis. Step parents who want to and are in a position to adopt their step children don’t com

We may get so wrapped up in what a divorce means for us as adults that it is easy to lose sight of just how much a divorce will change the way that your child views their world and interacts both with you and your spouse. This can occur even in the middle of a divorce where your children are the main issue being debated back and forth. While you may be most concerned with how frequently you will be able to see him or her after the divorce, what should also be considered is the psyche of your child and their ability to rebuild trust in others and confidence in themselves after your divorce is finalized. I don’t mean to be melodramatic with that introductory paragraph. It may be that your

Houston Divorce Attorney : The title to this blog post is probably a dead giveaway that not only is it time for you to look into contacting a family law attorney. I can say that with confidence because the time is right for you to do so when the thought has crossed your mind and you’re done with just going through the motions of your day to day life. Despite what some people believe, I have encountered very few people that have come in to the Law Office of Bryan Fagan for a divorce consultation that have not considered the far reaching implications of what it is they are inquiring about. Divorce is without a doubt the most stressful, taxing and emotional time period of most any adult person’s life. Notwithstanding the death of a spouse or something along those lines, what you put yourself and your family through in a d

This gentleman was minding his own business one day when he received a letter from the Texas Attorney General’s Child Support Division. He opened up the letter and out came a notice that he was in arrears (i.e. – he was delinquent in paying) over $15,000 in child support. I imagine that you or I would have had the same reaction as this gentleman did- complete and utter shock. That complete and utter shock he experienced upon opening and reading the letter was justified because our former client did not have any children. This wasn’t a situation where he had a child out of wedlock years ago and was just not being made to “pay the piper”

Spring Divorce Lawyer : If you are considering a divorce you most likely have a pretty unique set of reasons for wanting that divorce. Not that the reasons themselves are unique to you and your spouse, by any means. It’s likely, however, that the arguments, lack of trust, suspicions about infidelity and any issues regarding finances have some unique characteristics come from a place or set of circumstances that could not be replicated outside of your family home. That’s what makes it so difficult for you and your spouse to know if there is an opportunity to save the marriage or if the only option would be to file for divorce. As a family law attorney, I have seen people fight about all sorts of things. These fights have ranged from the serious- accusations about one spouse not being faithful to the other, to th

The change in routine, the emotional void that is left when one parent is no longer physically there in the home and the possible feeling that their actions led to the divorce can wreak havoc on a child’s psyche. Some children are relatively disengaged from the divorce and seem to be ok, but from my experience it is these children that can be especially vulnerable to allowing a divorce to affect their life profoundly. One area that your children are especially susceptible to the stresses associated with divorce is in school.
