FAMILY LAW

Divorce is never easy, but at Galmor, Stovall & Gilthorpe, we’re here to help you through it. Whether you’re facing an amicable separation or a highly contested dispute, we’ll fight to protect your rights and work toward a fair resolution. Divorce often brings uncertainty—especially when it comes to dividing property, addressing spousal support, and establishing custody arrangements. We’ll guide you through the entire process to make sure you’re treated fairly and your interests are represented every step of the way.

Dividing property and assets can be one of the most complex parts of a divorce, especially if your case involves business ownership, retirement accounts, real estate, or other high-value assets. We have extensive experience in high-asset divorces and will ensure that everything is thoroughly evaluated and divided equitably. You’ve worked hard to build your life, and we’re here to make sure your financial future is protected.

Spousal support, or alimony, is another key issue in many divorces. We’ll help you understand your rights and obligations, whether you’re seeking support or trying to minimize an unfair burden. Every divorce is different, and we’ll make sure the outcome reflects your unique situation and complies with Texas law.

If child custody is involved, we’ll work to protect your parental rights and advocate for the best interests of your children. Whether you're pursuing joint or sole custody, we’ll help establish a fair, workable parenting plan that supports your child’s well-being and your role in their life.

Child custody matters are deeply personal and often emotionally challenging, especially when they arise during divorce or separation. Parents want what’s best for their children, but navigating the legal system while emotions run high can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re seeking primary custody, shared custody, or modifications to an existing order, Galmor, Stovall & Gilthorpe is here to guide you every step of the way and protect both your rights and your child’s best interests.

Child custody cases involve important legal decisions that shape your child’s future, including where they will live, how decisions will be made, and how parenting time is shared. Texas courts consider many factors when determining custody arrangements, all centered around the child’s best interests. These cases often require detailed documentation, negotiations between parents, and, in some situations, court hearings. Our role is to simplify the process, explain your options clearly, and advocate for a custody arrangement that supports your child’s stability and well-being.

We assist parents with all aspects of child custody, including conservatorship, possession and access schedules, and parental rights and responsibilities. Whether your case involves an initial custody determination or a dispute over visitation, we work diligently to ensure your voice is heard. We help you prepare for mediation or court, gather the necessary evidence, and present a strong case that reflects your child’s needs and your role as a parent.

Custody disputes can become even more complex when special circumstances are involved. Relocation requests, allegations of parental alienation, substance abuse concerns, or questions about a parent’s ability to provide a safe environment require careful legal handling. We take the time to understand your unique situation and develop a strategy tailored to your family. Our goal is to minimize conflict whenever possible while remaining prepared to litigate aggressively if your child’s safety or future is at stake.

For parents who already have custody orders in place, life changes may require legal modifications. Changes in employment, relocation, remarriage, or a child’s evolving needs can all justify revisiting an existing custody arrangement. We help parents pursue or respond to custody modifications, ensuring that any changes are legally sound and truly serve the best interests of the child.

Child custody cases are not just legal matters—they’re about protecting your relationship with your child and creating a framework that allows them to thrive. At Galmor, Stovall & Gilthorpe, we understand the emotional weight these cases carry. We are committed to providing compassionate guidance, clear communication, and strong legal advocacy from your first consultation through final resolution.
