If you want to related guideline confidentiality Texas Child Law experience, So you can better suggestions in Split Custody- Is it right for you and your family? Houston Divorce Attorney : One of the goals that many potential clients of the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC have is to be able to see their child as much as the other parent once their family law case is done and over with.
