Family law is as vast a field as any you’ll find in Texas, but it is primarily concerned with the legal status of family bonds, especially those between spouses, and between parents and their children. Balancing the rights of all with the competing interests of some, and especially the well-being of any minor children, is the goal. A goal that Peter Corcoran will always help you reach while minimizing harm and conflict within the family, no matter what type of case you are dealing with:

• Divorce

Marriage is a marvelous and important institution, but sometimes one or both partners will decide it has to come to an end. When that is the case, there is always a risk of escalation and conflict as two lives need to be untangled legally and financially. A lawyer like Peter Corcoran will help you obtain as much cooperation as possible while limiting the financial and legal harm to you and your loved ones. This approach can save you precious time, stress, and money, as a carefully negotiated settlement and agreement will always cost less than even a short jaunt to the Texarkana courtrooms.

• Child Custody

No bond is as special as that between a parent and their child, and no child or parent should have that bond severed or restricted by the state without very good reason. Yet when parents cannot live together, questions of custody inevitably arise. Who will care most of the time for their needs, and who will make the most critical decisions on their behalf? Whether you are just starting a divorce with minor children in the picture, or you are struggling to co-parent with an ex, or need to move out of the Texarkana area or even the state, a family law lawyer with child custody experience will be invaluable. Someone like Peter Corcoran can defend your children’s rights and interests alongside your own, with the goal of ensuring the best possible outcome for everyone.

• Child Support

Child custody conflicts can become even more difficult when money is involved, though the state always tries to ensure that the parent taking care of the child is able to care for them with the assistance of the other. This is primarily done through child support payments, which are often necessary, but can quickly become a burden that sours family bonds. A skilled attorney can help you challenge an unfair child support situation. Whether you are not receiving enough to get by, or are sending more than you can reasonably or fairly afford, you may have the right to challenge the ruling or request a new one.
