Dallas Divorce Lawyer and Family Lawyer

CUSTODY DISPUTES

In some cases, parents see eye-to-eye on what’s best for their children — but in others, there are a few (or more) sticking points.

And like you, we put your children first. We can help you hammer out the details on child custody in a way that’s fair to you and your kids.

We’ll advocate for a custody arrangement that allows you to maintain strong and healthy relationships with your children, including negotiating parenting plans and representing you in court when you can’t find common ground with your kids’ other parent. We work tirelessly to prioritize our clients’ kids and their needs.

CHILD SUPPORT

Your children are entitled to financial support from their other parent — that’s the law. We can help you understand how Texas child support laws relate to your case and ask the court for a fair, equitable agreement.

If you already have a child support agreement in place, we can help you modify it if necessary. The bottom line is that we’re here to advocate for you and your children, giving you the guidance you need to get the best possible outcome for your family.

PROPERTY DIVISION IN TEXAS

Property division can be one of the most contentious aspects of a divorce, especially when emotions and tensions are running high. We’re here to help you protect what’s yours and ensure that you’re on the right track to a successful future. Our experienced attorneys will work to achieve a fair division of marital assets that accounts for your situation and long-term needs. We negotiate — and when necessary, fight — for our clients’ rights when it comes to the marital home, investments, retirement accounts and more.

SPOUSAL MAINTENANCE

If there’s a significant gap in income between you and your spouse, one of you may be entitled to spousal maintenance, which is also known as alimony. At Bastine Law Group, we understand that spousal maintenance is about ensuring financial fairness after divorce. Our team will advocate for your needs, whether you’re seeking spousal maintenance or defending against an unfair request.

We’ll work closely with you to assess your situation. We’ll look at the marriage’s length, both parties’ earning capacities and the standard of living you both enjoyed during your marriage. Our goal is to secure a fair spousal maintenance arrangement. If you’re entitled to receive maintenance, we’ll fight to ensure that you get the support you need to maintain yourself. Conversely, if you’re asked to pay spousal maintenance, we’ll ensure that the terms are fair and reasonable, accounting for your financial responsibilities and future plans.

HIGH-NET WORTH DIVORCE IN DALLAS

High-net worth divorces come with their own set of challenges, including the division of complex financial portfolios, businesses and investments.

We’ll be your advocate, helping protect your assets and working hard toward a fair and favorable outcome. Our team is well-equipped to manage the intricacies of high-value estates, and we’ll work with financial experts, accountants and appraisers to carefully handle every aspect of your case.

PREMARITAL AGREEMENTS

Entering into a marriage is one of life’s most significant decisions, and having a premarital agreement in place can provide peace of mind for both you and your partner. Whether you’re considering a premarital agreement or need to address an existing one in the event of divorce, Bastine Law Group will guide you through the process with care and sensitivity.
