I worked with Matt and Ana on a divorce case that was supposed to be quick and straightforward, but the other party made it incredibly challenging, as expected. Despite numerous obstacles, including the other party joining the Army and refusing service multiple times, Ana never gave up. She consistently strategized and found ways to move the process forward. She went above and beyond, even reaching out to JAG officers at the Army base and navigating their bureaucracy. Thanks to her determination and expertise, they successfully resolved the case, leaving everything free and clear. I’m deeply grateful for their hard work and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and dedicated attorney in Houston.

Mr. Horak offered utmost professionalism and care while having Felony charges against me dismissed. My case was an emotionally exhausting case with too many complexities involved but Mr. Horak strategic thinking helped me achieve a favorable outcome. The paralegal staff was also courteous and prompt in their responses. I am very glad to have Mr. Horak as my attorney.

Ruth Vernier is amazing! She gave me the outcome I was seeking and took my case seriously. She had my child’s best interest at heart and I will be the first to say Ruth is an amazing woman, mom, and attorney. I trust her with everything and she handled my situation with grace and compassion. She truly cares about the best interest of your children and is dedicated to keeping your family safe. Ruth Vernier is by far the best family law attorney in the area. In my opinion, she is not considered “budget friendly” but it is true that you get what you pay for and she is worth every penny! Everyone in her office is friendly; the paralegals, attorneys and the finance manager. If anyone ever needs a recommendation for a family law attorney, I give them Ruth’s information. Tara, Brooke and Chase were so helpful and got us to the finish line within a year timeframe. They are very professional and knowledgeable in law. They answered all of my questions, even the silly ones and I believe I had a LOT of little questions. I cannot repay them enough for all of their hard work in this matter. Ruth and her team are truly angels. Look no further - you found your attorney and I’d say good luck - but you won’t need any luck when you retain Vernier and Associates! Thanks again for everything Ruth. I will forever remember/cherish how far you and your team went to protect my precious little one. I think the world of you guys!

I had consulted with Miss Bernier or legal advice on a divorce. My divorce was not normal by any means. I had to do with a high profile case in twined with my divorce. Because of that, it made it a very lengthy and expensive battle. Mrs. Vernier and her co-council were absolutely amazing. Everyone was willing to do everything they could to help me win my case. On a personal note, she would do everything she could to keep me saying and help me on the emotional side of the case. It was very long and drawn out, but in the end, things ended up in my favor. Vernier and all of her staff have become more like family. They were always willing to do everything they could to see that things were going to end up in the best scenario possible I would not hesitate to hire this firm again for any legal reason .

Kristi Barnhill was incredibly responsive to my questions and concerns, providing prompt updates and realistic expectations throughout. Her knowledge of family law is extensive and her approach with my case had a favorable outcome for my child and I. Beyond her legal expertise , Kristi Barnhill demonstrated a genuine empathy and support through the entire process, which meant a great deal to me. If you’re seeking a dedicated attorney who will advocate for your best interests while maintaining a human touch, look no further.

Ms. Spielvogel was recommended by another girl friend that have been through a tough divorce that had dragged out few years. I have no qualm to hire her as she was highly recommended in The Woodlands and Spring area. She is a tough lady, but fair and honest as well. When I was in an emotion wreck, she was honest to me about what would help and what wouldn't help my case. Could appreciate more than anything about her work. Though I didn't made the right choice of whom I was married to but I sure made the right choice to hire her.

Janet is such a great lawyer - the process of divorce is so hard, but it makes it so much easier when you can trust your attorney. She is very ethical - and that was very important to me. I could trust her judgement. When I was upset and suggested stupid things, she would rein me in. I heard horror stories of other attorneys charging their clients for every little thing - Janet never did that. Her bills were accurate, and her work was worth every penny.

Richard Canlas, Esq., turns the worst day of your life into the best day of your life. This is second time I’ve retained him legally, and God willing will be the last time I need to, but I know Who I’m going to call without a moment hesitation, if it gets to the point where I need a legal represent again. If you get tangled up in the Texas legal system, even a little bit, even for something fairly innocuous, and you care about your reputation, then the money spent with him is well placed. There’s some truth to the old saying that you get what you pay for but with Richard you always get a little bit extra and you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend him. I’ve known him for decades and he knows the system up there in Conroe, and he knows where to apply pressure and when to apply pressure and I think that if I aspired to be a lawyer, he would be One of my role models!

I hired Amy for my custody dispute of my 3 children. I could not have picked a better lawyer to handle my case. She was very upfront and informative of how the process would be and left no questions or worries unanswered. Through the process all of my paperwork was filed very timely. She was always prompt on answering or returning my calls. She was there for me time and time again. My case took many twists and turns where she had to fight false allegations in multiple counties from my ex. She stood by my side and helped me through all of it. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants an amazing lawyer to represent them. I have already recommended her to others going through similar situations. Not only would I choose her time and time again, I feel I gained a friend as well.

Amy served as my attorney for the original divorce as well as for additional modifications to the decree. My top ten list of what I most like about Amy: 1) Amy is highly knowledgeable about all aspects of family law. 2) She takes the high road and urges her clients to do the same for the best interests of the children. 3) Amy follows through and gets paperwork done in a timely manner. 4) She treats clients and everyone else involved in a respectful and non-condescending manner. 5) She realizes divorce is a death and respects the grief process that her clients and their children are going through. 6) She actually responds to phone calls and emails in a timely manner and never leaves you hanging. 7) She is tough in a classy way when the situation demands it (in the courtroom or out of it). 8) She does not over-bill clients for services. 9)Amy helps you set realistic expectations about negotiating with the other party. 10)I have referred friends as well as my own clients to Amy and she has given everyone great service.

Amy Montgomery represented me in my divorce, modification and adoption. Her professionalism was above and beyond anything I could have imagined. The divorce was very cut and dry so when I filed for a modification, I decided to hire another attorney in town. That was a mistake. I was not pleased with his performance and I went back to Amy. She took care of everything. My husband and I recently adopted a little girl and Amy handled everything beautifully. Not only is Amy a well educated and knowledgeable attorney, her compassion and honestly are amazing. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mrs. Montgomery for any type of family law matter that you may be going through.

What a Child Support Lawyer Can Do for You

A child support lawyer specializes in legal issues related to the financial support that one parent provides to another for the upbringing of their children. These lawyers assist with establishing, enforcing, and modifying child support orders, ensuring that the financial needs of the child are met, including housing, food, healthcare, education, and other essentials. A child support lawyer can also represent parents in disputes over the amount of support, ensure fair calculations based on income, and handle legal proceedings if one parent fails to meet their obligations.

Whether you're seeking to establish child support, modify an existing order, or enforce payments, a child support lawyer can help you navigate the legal system and protect your rights and the well-being of your child.

When Should I Hire a Child Support Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a child support lawyer when you need assistance with any of the following child support matters:

  • Establishing child support: If you are going through a divorce or separation and need to establish a child support order, a lawyer can help ensure that the support amount is fair and accurately calculated.
  • Modifying child support orders: If there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, income change, or a child's financial needs, a lawyer can help you request a modification to the existing child support order.
  • Enforcing child support payments: If the other parent has failed to make court-ordered child support payments, a lawyer can help enforce the order through legal means such as wage garnishment, property liens, or even legal action.
  • Disputing child support calculations: If you believe the child support amount has been incorrectly calculated based on your income or expenses, a lawyer can help you challenge the calculation and seek a fair adjustment.
  • Paternity disputes: If paternity needs to be established before child support can be ordered, a lawyer can assist with DNA testing and legal proceedings.
  • Interstate child support cases: If the parents live in different states, navigating child support laws can be complex. A lawyer can help ensure the proper jurisdiction is established and that child support is enforced across state lines.
  • Child support during custody disputes: If child custody and child support are being determined simultaneously, a lawyer can help ensure that both issues are resolved fairly and in the best interest of the child.

Hiring a lawyer early can help ensure that your child support case is handled effectively and that your child's financial needs are met.

What Does a Child Support Lawyer Do?

A child support lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents secure, modify, and enforce child support arrangements. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Filing for child support: A lawyer can help you initiate the legal process to obtain a child support order, ensuring that all necessary documentation is submitted and deadlines are met.
  • Calculating child support: A lawyer can help ensure that child support is calculated fairly based on both parents' incomes, the needs of the child, and other factors such as healthcare and education costs.
  • Negotiating child support agreements: If both parents are willing to negotiate, a lawyer can help facilitate an agreement on child support outside of court, which can then be approved by a judge.
  • Representing you in court: If negotiations fail or the other parent contests the child support amount, a lawyer will represent you in family court, presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
  • Modifying support orders: A lawyer can help you file a request for modification if circumstances change, such as a loss of income or an increase in the child’s financial needs.
  • Enforcing child support: If the other parent is not making court-ordered payments, a lawyer can take legal steps to enforce the order through wage garnishment, property liens, or other measures.
  • Handling complex cases: In cases involving high incomes, self-employment, or complicated financial situations, a lawyer can help ensure that all relevant factors are considered in determining child support.

How Are Child Support Lawyers Paid?

Child support lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:

  • Hourly rate: Most child support lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. The total cost will depend on how much time the lawyer spends on your case, including preparation, negotiations, and court appearances.
  • Flat fee: For more straightforward cases, such as uncontested child support agreements or basic modifications, some lawyers may offer a flat fee that covers all services related to the case.
  • Retainer: Many lawyers require a retainer, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on your case. The amount of the retainer depends on the expected complexity of the case.
  • Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers offer sliding scale fees based on income or provide pro bono (free) services in cases where clients cannot afford to pay full legal fees, especially when children’s needs are at stake.

It’s important to discuss fees with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are covered.

How Much Does a Child Support Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a child support lawyer varies depending on the complexity of the case, whether it's contested or uncontested, and the lawyer’s experience. General cost estimates include:

  • Uncontested child support cases: Legal fees may range from $1,500 to $5,000, depending on the complexity of the paperwork and the lawyer’s fees.
  • Contested child support cases: Legal fees can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, especially if the case involves significant court time.
  • Hourly rates: Lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for child support cases, with higher rates for more experienced attorneys or cases that involve complex financial issues.
  • Modification or enforcement: Fees for modifying or enforcing a child support order may range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the complexity and the need for court intervention.

Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation so you can plan your budget accordingly.

Top Questions to Ask a Child Support Lawyer

Before hiring a child support lawyer, it’s important to ask questions to ensure they are the right fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with child support cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it’s establishing, modifying, or enforcing child support orders.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees, or requires a retainer, and ask for a detailed estimate of the total cost.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges you may face.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Child support cases can take time, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what factors may cause delays.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court.
  6. What documents should I prepare?
    Ask the lawyer what financial documents and other information you should bring to help them calculate child support and build your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Child Support Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable child support lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and have successfully handled child support cases similar to yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on child support matters.
  • Check for certifications: Some lawyers may have certifications in family law or membership in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), which can indicate their expertise in child support and family law issues.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most out of your first consultation with a child support lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Income documents: Bring pay stubs, tax returns, W-2s, or any other documentation of your income and the other parent’s income, as this will be used to calculate child support.
  • Existing child support orders: If there are any existing child support or custody orders, bring copies for the lawyer to review.
  • Child-related expenses: Provide documentation of your child’s medical bills, education expenses, daycare costs, and any other expenses that should be factored into the child support calculation.
  • Communication with the other parent: Bring any communication between you and the other parent regarding child support, whether through emails, text messages, or written agreements.
  • List of questions: Prepare a list of questions about your case, the legal process, and the lawyer’s fees.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice on how to proceed.
