When custody and child support matters arise, parents in Balcones Heights need clear, practical guidance.

We help families organize documentation, understand how Texas law applies to their situation, and move toward stable resolutions that fit daily life.
Balcones Heights is a close-in community with families who often coordinate school, work, and activities around nearby San Antonio neighborhoods.

We draft parenting schedules that reflect your family’s calendar and remain realistic for both parents and children.

Child support guidance
Financial stability is a major part of post-separation life. Our Balcones Heights child support work includes:
- Calculating support under Texas guidelines and identifying appropriate deviations;
- Negotiating fair support as part of settlement talks;
- Filing enforcement actions for missed payments, including wage garnishment and other remedies;
- Seeking support modifications when incomes, custody arrangements, or child needs change materially.
How we handle cases
We begin with a focused meeting to clarify your priorities and collect key records—pay stubs, tax returns, bank statements, school schedules, and any prior orders. From there, we map a practical plan: whether to seek temporary orders, pursue mediation, or prepare a hearing. As your divorce lawyer, we ensure every step aligns with your goals. In many cases, families resolve issues through negotiation or mediation; when a court is necessary, we present a concise, evidence-based case that highlights the child’s best interests.
Balcones Heights-specific considerations
Because Balcones Heights sits near major commute corridors and schools, parenting plans often benefit from predictable exchange points and timing that reduce missed pickups. If the family home is in the community, we evaluate realistic options—refinance, buy-out, or offsetting assets—so the property solution fits monthly budgets. For parents who work irregular hours, we design schedules that protect children’s routines while accommodating employment demands.

Texas uses guideline percentages based on income; deviations are possible for special expenses or shared costs.
What if the other parent won’t comply?
