Ask a Texas Child Support Lawyer : What Happens If I Lose My Job?

When the parents of a minor child live together, both parents are assumed to be contributing to the financial support and emotional growth of the child. If the parents decide to end the marriage, or otherwise live apart, the law imposes a legal obligation on both parents to continue to contribute to the child’s support and maintenance. For the non-custodial parent, this is accomplished through the payment of child support. Once a child support order is established, you are obligated [ ] The post Ask a Texas Child Support Lawyer : What Happens If I Lose My Job? appeared first on Law Office of Jon R. Boyd..

Another courtroom victory — Defeated Relocation Attempt

I m thrilled to report another Collin County court victory for one of my clients, a Dad who dearly loves his son and didn t want him to move away. Mom just wanted to move the child over 3 hours away to rural Oklahoma because she had reunited with an old HS boyfriend online and wanted to live where he was, which would have meant my Dad client would have lost all his Thursday nites and never get a chance to have [ ] The post Another courtroom victory Defeated Relocation Attempt appeared first on Law Office of Jon R.

Can My Divorce Lawyer Get Me Alimony?

Going through a divorce can be mentally and emotionally exhausting. A divorce can also real havoc on the finances of either, or both, parties. It is not unusual for there to be a significant disparity in income between spouses while married; however, the disparity in income is not typically important because the couple becomes one unit and, therefore, all income is shared and treated as “family” income. The thought of divorce, however, raises the very real fear that the disparity [ ] The post Can My Divorce Lawyer Get Me Alimony? appeared first on Law Office of Jon R. Boyd..

Should I Sign a Pre-Nuptial Agreement?

When most of us imagine discussing marriage with “the one,” signing legal documents is not part of the picture. Whether the idea of signing a pre-nuptial agreement was your idea, or your beloved brought up the subject, broaching the subject of entering into a pre-nuptial agreement can be stressful. In fact, there was a time when the mere mention of a pre-marital agreement would send future brides (and grooms) running the other direction.  Societal changes along with a dramatic increase [ ] The post Should I Sign a Pre-Nuptial Agreement? appeared first on Law Office of Jon R.

Does My Spouse Have to Agree to a Divorce?

You may have experienced this yourself, heard a friend go through it, or even watched it on a soap opera – the spouse who refuses to agree to a divorce. Sometimes, the refusal is truly based on a belief that the marriage can be saved. More often than not, however, the words “I won’t give you a divorce” are uttered more out of spite or anger than out of love and commitment. If you are the spouse who is “asking” [ ] The post Does My Spouse Have to Agree to a Divorce? appeared first on Law Office of Jon R. Boyd..
