Smith & Bledsoe Family Law: Austin Firm Advocating for Families, Streamlining Legal Disputes and Protecting Children's Interests

Austin, TX - Smith & Bledsoe Family Law streamlines the uncertainties of conflict, spousal agreements/modifications, and children’s interests. With over 15 years of experience and an in-depth understanding of local statutes, the Family law attorney stands ready to take on challenging cases and ensure families receive the legal counsel and outcomes they deserve.

Dissolving a marriage is financially and emotionally draining. It is also often accompanied by legal disputes over child custody, asset division, and alimony. In Texas, spouses have requirements to file for divorce and must choose between no-fault or fault-based divorce. 

In a no-fault divorce, neither spouse blames each other or other misconduct that leads to a separation, while in a fault-based divorce, one spouse does something to cause the other to file. They can claim adultery, incarceration, intentional mental/physical cruelty, abandonment, and other forms of marital misconduct. 

In both situations, custody and visitation are divided into managing conservatorship and possessory conservatorship. Texas Family Code 153.001 requires the court to appoint one or both parents as joint managing conservators unless it won’t be in the child’s best emotional or physical interests.

Smith & Bledsoe Family Law is an austin child custody attorney helping parents decide who the child should live with, how much time the other parent should spend with them, and other issues related to custody. The attorney can determine which parent will pay the other child support based on their salary/wages, self-employment income, social security taxes, insurance premiums, and state/federal income taxes. The law firm also enforces post-divorce court orders such as spousal maintenance, child support, visitation rights, and property division. 

When filing an appeal, divorcing couples must observe appellate rules that differ from those in civil lawsuits. Smith & Bledsoe Family Law has in-depth insight into the deadlines and procedures for reviewing a case, uncovering grounds for appeal, starting an appellate pleading, providing documents within an applicable timeframe, and offering extensive guidance.
