Plano Custody Attorney Jon Boyd talking about Texas VisitationSome parents will do anything to deny or limit the other parent’s ability to regularly visit and maintain a relationship with the child. Nothing could be more tragic or reprehensible unless truly warranted because of abuse or neglect.

In Texas, there is a standard guideline (known as the “Standard Possession Order”) for the non-primary custodial parent’s presumed minimum amount of possession of the children. Often, however, our clients are excellent parents who want as much time with their children as possible without necessarily “fighting for custody.”

Whether you want more than the minimum amount of time or the standard possession order or the other parent is trying to restrict your possession or have it supervised, attorney Jon Boyd will fight to make sure you get the time with your child you and he or she deserves. For assistance, contact our offices now.

Issue: Represented wife in divorce. Texas Divorce and Property Division
Result: Settled on eve of trial. Obtained 100% of community estate for W, including all of c/p H’s employment benefits. Had threatened suit for damages arising from abuse during the marriage.

Issue: Property Division.
Result: Husband gets to keep all of his retirement and gets unequal division in his favor after wife’s adultery and overall meanness shown.

Issue: Client who represented himself in divorce involving an over five million dollar estate allowed himself to get defaulted by opposing counsel because he was served with process but did not answer the suit. (Client threw the papers away!)
Result: New trial obtained. We filed a Motion for New Trial and the motion was granted after a contested hearing, thereby reinstating the case and allowing our client another chance to obtain a fairer property division and better visitation with his children.

Issue: My multi-millionaire husband client and his wife had extensive international property and business interests. Unfortunately, Husband had engaged in numerous indiscretions, including having a baby with a much younger woman.
Result: Even though husband faced exposure to a disproportionate division of the estate against him, the case settled on a equal division basis
