Divorce, custody, adoption, and other family matters.
Family law in Texas covers divorce, custody (referred to under Texas law as 'conservatorship'), child support, spousal maintenance, adoption, paternity, and protective orders. Texas terminology differs from many other states — most notably the use of 'conservatorship' rather than 'custody' — and family-law attorneys often spend time at the start of a representation explaining the local vocabulary and procedural landscape.
Texas family law practice ranges from amicable, uncontested divorces handled flat-fee or through mediation to litigated cases involving complex property division (Texas is a community-property state) or interstate custody disputes. When evaluating attorneys, clients commonly consider whether the lawyer is board-certified in Family Law through the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, experience with mediation versus trial, comfort with high-asset or business-valuation matters when relevant, and language fit.
