Child Custody & Possession Issues

Texas Child Custody and Visitation Attorney

With whom a child will live is one of the most important decisions that a couple will make during divorce negotiations. The process they use to arrive at that decision may form the basis for all future decision-making they undertake as co-parents. Or it may make future decision-making even more difficult.

Dallas divorce attorney Steven Wm. Buholz provides clients with the resources and support they need to reach a decision that works well for parents and children. Our legal team offers clients the option of litigation, collaborative law, and mediation.

The Physical Custody Decision

Whenever possible, it's best for parents to make the important decisions about child custody and parenting time for themselves, rather than having a judge impose a decision that may not fit the needs and wishes they have for their families.

At the Law Office of Steven Wm. Buholz, we empower our clients to make this decision by providing sound legal counsel, emotional support, and access to experts in child custody evaluation. In our experience, the vast majority of parents are able to reach a decision, given the right resources and support.

There are some cases in which a court intervention will be inevitable, such as when a parent is seeking sole physical and/or legal custody because of the other parent's abusive behavior or unfitness for parenting. Mr. Buholz is an experienced trial lawyer, Board-certified in family law. Very few Texas family law attorneys have achieved this certification. He is well prepared to handle even the most difficult child custody case in Texas family court.

Child Support and Other Financial Concerns

Whether child custody and visitation is being considering in the context of a divorce or a paternity action, child support will need to be determined at the same time.

As a family law attorney with more than 30 years of experience, Mr. Buholz understands the importance of clarifying financial matters now, in order to avoid discord later. He will assist you in considering ancillary financial matters, such as who will pay for visitation travel expenses and how to protect your child's inheritance rights should a parent remarry.
