Houston Divorce and Family Law Lawyer

At Frank E. Mann, Family Law Lawyer and Counselor at Law, I provide cost- effective and practical solutions to all types of family law problems. Since 1984, I have become known as a hard working houston family law lawyer who will give you an honest assessment of your situation.

Our Houston Family Law Lawyer areas of practice:

• Divorce. Getting through a divorce is one of the most difficult things a person can do. I take care of the details for you, offering sound advice and effective representation.
• Contested Divorce. Contested divorces usually center on disputes involving property or children. I work to narrow the issues and protect your rights.
• Separation. When people no longer want to live together, I can take care of all necessary paperwork that preserves clients' rights even if they were never married.
• Child Custody. Making arrangements for the children is one the most important aspects of a divorce.
• Sole Custody. Sole child custody is an option if one of the parents is absent or is abusive.
• Joint Custody. Some type of joint child custody is the norm in Texas.
• Child Support. Child support is determined by the Texas Child Support guidelines. I make sure that all relevant income and obligations are included in the calculations so that child support payments are fair.
• Alimony & Spousal Maintanence. There are several different types of spousal support, also known as alimony. I work to make alimony awards appropriate and fair.
• Paternity. When either parent is uncertain about the paternity of a child, especially in context of required child support, I advise about available options.
• Property Division. How property is divided can be as contentious as where children live. I have the experience and resources to resolve disputes about the division of marital property.
• Modification. When circumstances change, orders issued after a divorce may need to be changed. I undertake the needed petitions and paperwork to obtain modifications to orders regarding custody, support, and visitation.
• Relocations. One of the most common types of modification is related to the relocation of one parent, requiring a change in the custody and visitation arrangements.
• Domestic Violence. Clients in abusive situations or those charged with domestic violence crimes need legal advice about their options and their rights.
• Collaborative Divorce Law. Collaborative family law can save money, time, and stress during the divorce process. To learn more about your choices in any family dispute, contact my Houston law office at Frank E. Mann, Attorney and Counselor at Law.
