Family Law
Family law includes all legal issues that may arise in a marriage or the dissolution of a marriage. The Longworth Law Firm prides itself on its knowledge of and experience with family law in Texas.
Texas Divorce
Divorce is the legal term for the formal ending of a marriage. At the time of divorce, any assets obtained by the divorcing couple must be divided fairly.
Our firm uses our extensive knowledge of Texas family law to ensure our clients can exit their marriage with their rightful portion of the marital assets.
We are aware that during stressful and emotional times, our clients need our firm’s guidance to make good decisions about their financial future.
Child Custody Issues & Adoptions
For a parent, this can be the most important area of family law. Parents must understand their rights regarding child custody, the rights a parent has to make decisions concerning their child, possession schedules, child support, paternity, and parental rights termination.

Modifications
- Child Support Modifications
- Child Custody Order Modifications
- Divorce Decree Modifications
When people divorce, they often have obligations governed by the divorce decree. These include child possession schedules, child support, money paid directly from one party to the other, and health insurance coverage. We will discuss how to modify those obligations with you, determine if a modification you want is possible, and help you obtain that modification.
Enforcement
If a party chooses not to follow the court’s orders, our firm can help by filing a Motion to Enforce. Our firm will guide you through this process to help you receive the judgment that the court awarded you. We will negotiate with the other party and return to court if necessary.
Premarital Agreements
A premarital agreement can be drafted prior to marriage to set rules for the division of property and assets in case the marriage ends in divorce. Our firm will help you create a premarital agreement or determine the validity of one that has already been drafted.
