Free Consultation Family Lawyer

If you are looking for a Colleyville Free Consultation Family Lawyer, you are likely dealing with family law issues. Luckily, The Fetty Firm represents clients throughout Tarrant County. We are proud to serve clients in Colleyville, Texas, because we want to serve our community.

Family law has many branches, and you could be dealing with one or multiple at once. Legal issues such as divorce, child custody and child support, adoption, modification of orders, and termination of parental rights all fall under family law. Furthermore, estate planning, wills and trusts, and probate can fall under family law as well. Before proceeding, consider what it is you need legal guidance and assistance for. The clearer you make your needs, the better we can help.

In this article, we want to touch on family law issues, what each of them might entail, and how you can get into contact with a family law attorney.

The Aspects of Family Law

Adoption: Adoption is a delicate process that requires multiple legal processes. The birth parents must terminate their legal rights and the adoptive parents must prove to the court that they are capable of caring for the child.

Child Custody: Regardless of whether or not you and the other parent were married, child custody is not easy to agree on. A judge will divide child custody based on the abilities, resources, and history of both parents or guardians.

Child Support: The joint parent is decided in a custody case, and they will be responsible for paying the primary conservator child support payments. These payments are designed to help both the primary parent and child until the child is 18.

Divorce: Divorce is the division of a marriage. This is necessary for many people, and child custody cases usually follow.

Enforcement of/Modification of Orders: It is possible that after child custody is decided, one or both of the parents is not honoring their orders. Alternatively, situations have changed and custody guidelines need to be reevaluated.

Spousal Support: This may also be called alimony. If you and your partner divorce but you need financial assistance from them to survive it, spousal support is necessary.

Termination of Parental Rights: This becomes essential during cases involving either adoption or an incompetent or abusive parent. This can be very hard to attain for the latter. You will need a very experienced attorney.

Estate Planning

Much like general family law, there are many branches of estate planning. We believe it’s our job to inform our clients in the areas that matter most to them. Your estate is your livelihood and we want to help you protect it for yourself and your family. It should be a place where future generations can look forward to! In order to give you a better idea, we have compiled them here for your convenience.

Advanced Directive/Living Will

Consider one of these if you have children or a spouse you’re worried about leaving behind. In the case of premature death, this will ensure your wishes are carried out posthumously.

Designation of Guardian

If you have children who may be underage after you pass away, they will need a chosen guardian to take care of them. This allows you to designate one.

Power of Attorney

Should you be unable to speak for yourself, granting power of attorney means someone will have the legal right to speak for and make decisions for you.

HIPAA Forms

This will allow a person of your choice to access your medical records and make medical decisions for you, in case of incapacitation.

Trusts

Similar to a will, but usually more specific to certain financial assets or items to be passed down.

Wills

Your will designates who will take your assets after your death. It can also state how you want people to handle your body, and which members of your family receive which assets.

Probate

Probate deals with heirs, titles, affidavits, and administration. Each of these can involve complicated documents and family matters. You will need an attorney to help you handle this.

Remember, you’re the only one capable of setting up the affairs for your estate. Establishing that is the groundwork to having a solid basis for when things can go awry or the unthinkable occurs. Therefore don’t hesitate! The Fetty Firm is here to help you create a foundation for your estate planning that will be solid and reliable.
