Austin, TX - Smith & Bledsoe Family Law is passionate about fighting for families by working compassionately with clients to resolve challenging family legal issues. The team has in-depth insight into the law, knows the sitting judges in Travis and the surrounding counties, and leverages a powerhouse litigation style.
The firm handles uncontested/agreed divorce, arbitration, mediation, high-asset divorce, and protective/restraining orders. Since Texas is a community property state, the divorce lawyer Austin offers guidance on retirement plans, gifts, financial recovery, real estate, and bank accounts acquired before and during the marriage.
To determine whether to award spousal maintenance and the amount, nature, and duration of payments, judges evaluate the plaintiff’s earning ability, age, emotional/physical condition, contributions as a homemaker, employment skills/education, length of marriage, history of family violence, marital misconduct, and more. The attorney recognizes clients' challenges and obstacles while navigating these complexities to protect their rights and create actionable strategies.
Like property division and spousal maintenance, negotiating child support during divorce involves costly and time-consuming legal battles. Smith & Bledsoe Family Law determines if a client should receive child support and calculates the appropriate amount based on interests/dividends, salary/wages, net rental income, or self-employment income.
The child support lawyer Austin can also request the courts to modify current child support orders by proving that a substantial change in circumstances requires the action. While the judge can consider the factors for a child custody or support modification, the client and their spouse can negotiate to change the terms of an agreement with Smith & Bledsoe Family Law.
Beyond that, the team has years of experience streamlining adoption for parents who want to provide a loving environment for a child or children in need. They ensure clients are eligible to adopt, file a petition to request the termination of parental rights, protect stepparents’ rights, demystify parental consent, and explain the legal processes.
Smith & Bledsoe Family Law handles family law appeals, post-divorce modifications, prenups and postnups, LGBT family law, special needs trusts, estate planning, guardian designations, name changes, and more.
Whether it's litigation, settlement, or something in the middle, the family law attorney Austin ensures each family receives the right services and performance for their goals. With high levels of understanding, precision, and skill, the team has been awarded by SuperLawyers, Avvo, and other reputable organizations and earned numerous 5-star reviews.
