Child Custody Issues

We help parents manage child custody and visitation (parenting time) in a divorce. Under Texas divorce law, parents must create a parenting plan that establishes the parents' rights and responsibilities toward their children. As knowledgeable and skilled family law lawyers, we help our clients protect their interests and the interests of their children.

Many of our clients are concerned about whether they will be the custodial parent. We help them realize that having the title of custodial or non-custodial parent is less important than arranging a plan that supports a strong parent-child relationship.

Child Custody Modifications

We represent parents when the needs of the family change and an existing court order must be modified. Usually, the court that first granted the child custody order in a divorce or other legal matter retains the power (the jurisdiction) over that order. It is usually necessary to return to the court when the order must be changed.

We help with child custody and visitation modification matters when there has been a significant change of familial circumstances, such as an abusive parent, a parent that gets a new job, or a child that is older and requires that the existing order be changed. We also help clients understand child relocation laws and how taking a child away to another city or state impacts existing custody and visitation orders.

Adoption

In addition to child custody matters, at Bowen Law Group, we also handle stepparent and foster parent adoptions. Attorney Chrysandra Bowen helps families come together through representation in adoption proceedings. Our law firm handles step-parent adoptions and foster parent adoptions involving Child and Family Services (CFS) or Child Protective Services (CPS). Chrysandra's background in counseling and her attention to detail help families gain an edge in these personal, often complex legal proceedings.
