    Frequently Asked Questions: Family Law in Pearland, Texas

    What does a family law attorney do?
    A family law attorney handles legal matters related to family relationships, such as divorce, child custody, child support, adoption, guardianship, and domestic violence. At Abii & Associates, PLLC, we provide legal guidance, negotiate on your behalf, and represent you in court when needed.
    Do I need a lawyer to file for divorce in Texas?
    While it's possible to file without a lawyer, divorce involves complex legal, financial, and custody decisions. An experienced family law attorney ensures your rights are protected, documents are accurate, and the process runs smoothly.
    How is child custody determined in Texas?
    Texas courts prioritize the best interests of the child. Custody (conservatorship) decisions consider each parent's involvement, the child’s needs, stability, and other factors. We help parents pursue fair custody and visitation arrangements.
    How is child support calculated?
    Child support in Texas is based on a percentage of the non-custodial parent's income, number of children, and other obligations. We help calculate, negotiate, and enforce child support orders tailored to your case.
    What is the difference between community property and equitable distribution?
    Texas follows community property laws, meaning most assets acquired during marriage are divided equally. We help you identify marital vs. separate property and advocate for a fair distribution.
    Can grandparents seek custody or visitation rights in Texas?
    Yes, in limited situations—such as when the parents are unfit or absent—grandparents may request visitation or custody. We evaluate eligibility and represent grandparents in seeking these rights.
    What’s the purpose of a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement?
    These agreements outline how assets and debts will be divided in the event of divorce or death. They offer financial clarity and protection and are especially useful for business owners or blended families.
    What is mediation, and can it replace going to court?
    Mediation is a confidential, non-adversarial process where a neutral third party helps resolve disputes. It can often help couples reach agreements without the time and cost of a courtroom trial.
    Can I modify a child custody or support order?
    Yes. If there has been a significant change in circumstances—such as relocation, income change, or remarriage—you can petition the court to modify an existing order.
