Personalized Representation To Protect Your Family

Family law matters can drastically affect a person’s life along with their children’s lives. During that time, tension and emotions can run high. If you have any family law issues or concerns, you should talk to an experienced family law attorney who can help shoulder some of the burden and guide you through the process.

At Reekie Law PLLC, we serve clients in The Woodlands, Houston, Montgomery County, Spring, Magnolia and Willis areas. Our firm has been providing Texas residents with solutions to challenging family law matters for over 10 years. When you need experienced and compassionate legal representation, we can provide that.

Family Law Is More Than Divorce And Child Support

Whether you are going through a divorce or are an unmarried couple, issues with the children need to be resolved. The focus is on the child’s best interests and how to resolve issues easily and quickly. We handle child custody matters delicately, recognizing the emotional impact on both parents and children.

However, most people think family law only involves divorce or child custody. That is just part of the family court services a good family lawyer can provide. Our firm handles a wide range of family law matters, including:

• Divorce: The divorce process can be challenging and stressful. Separating your marital estate can be complex, especially if there are businesses and high-value assets. We try to get you through this process as quickly as possible so you can move forward with your new life.
• Premarital and postnuptial agreements: These legal contracts detail how couples will manage their assets or liabilities during marriage or divide them in the event of divorce or death.
• Adoptions: We assist families in navigating this exciting process, whether you are adopting a stepchild, a foster child or a child within your own extended family.
• Paternity: We help establish paternity through legal channels, including acknowledgment of paternity, birth certificate listing or DNA testing. This is crucial for proceeding with a Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship (SAPCR) to allow the father possession of and access to the child and establish child support.
• Property division: Texas is a community property state, meaning all income acquired during the marriage is typically considered to belong to both spouses equally. We help ensure fair and equitable asset distribution, whether through an equal split or another method.
• Enforcement of court orders: When someone fails to follow a court order, such as denying possession of a child or not paying child support, we can help file a motion for enforcement. This can lead to contempt proceedings against the violating party.
• Modifications of existing orders: If circumstances change and your current order regarding your children no longer works, we can file for a modification. This might be due to changes in employment, schedules or other factors affecting the children’s best interests.
• Protective orders for spouses: While we do not handle CPS cases, we assist clients in obtaining protective orders for spouses when necessary to ensure their safety and well-being.

A court is not where you want to spend the most time as you navigate these family law matters. We typically employ mediation and negotiation to resolve issues efficiently and amicably. We leverage skillful negotiation to reach a case outcome without the stress and expense of a courtroom battle. If you want to resolve your case efficiently while ensuring everything is in order, do not hesitate to reach out. Be assured, however, that we can also litigate the case when that is the right option.

Experienced Family Law Attorney With Over Two Decades Of Service

When facing family law challenges or legal document reviews, parties often attempt to file their own paperwork, or one party receives documents from the other party’s attorney. Even if you don’t want full legal representation, it’s crucial to understand what you’re signing. That principle applies to all family law matters, from divorce agreements to custody arrangements. In these cases, our attorney makes sure you know the potential implications of signing any legal documents related to your family law case through limited scope representation.
