Family Law

Family Law involves divorce and related areas such as property division, child custody, child support, spousal support, parenting time, paternity, domestic violence, juvenile delinquency and enforcement or modification of existing court orders and judgments. A good family law attorney will possess a working knowledge of Texas family law statutes, case law and court rules and have the ability to effectively communicate with judges, opposing attorneys and especially the client during all phases of the proceedings.

The Sheena Law Firm will ease the stress of your divorce, custody or support case by striving to get you a fair result. A fair result means that your assets are evenly divided, support is set at the right amount based upon all relevant facts and your relationship with your children is preserved. Ideally these results can be negotiated, but if the other side is unreasonable, we are tough, experienced advocates who won't back down.

We are aware of the intense emotional and financial stress that individuals face when dealing with these issues. We are sensitive not only to the legal issues involved but to the needs of the individual client, and we pride ourselves on delivering personalized legal services. We are dedicated to ensuring client involvement in all aspects of representation.

We are qualified to handle a variety of family law matters. We have the experience to deal with these highly sensitive issues with compassion and professionalism. We will listen carefully to your situation and concerns and help you through negotiations. Our attorney understand that sometimes it becomes necessary to resolve matters in court.
