Child Custody & Visitation

Frisco, Texas, Child Custody & Visitation Lawyer

Child custody and visitation are often the most sensitive matters related to divorce. At the law office of Mackoy, Hernandez & Qualls in Frisco, Texas, we will listen to your individual needs and concerns, provide you with experienced legal counsel, and advocate vigorously for your interests and the best interests of your children.

Contact us to schedule an initial consultation. Be certain to discuss your parenting rights with a compassionate, attentive attorney.

Texas law requires that child custody and visitation rights are determined according to the best interests of the child. No one knows what is in your child's best interests better than you. We will help you achieve a mutual parenting arrangement, either through negotiations, mediation, or collaborative law, and avoid having your child's schedule dictated by a judge or jury.

Unfortunately, amicable agreements cannot always be made. If your case cannot be resolved through negotiation or alternative dispute resolution, our attorneys will be firm advocates on your behalf in court.

Parents in Texas have an absolute right to parent their children. State law presumes that, absent drug problems, abuse, or neglect, there will be some form of joint physical custody of the children. Whether you are seeking sole or joint custody, you can depend on us to clearly explain your parental rights and the options available to you, with special consideration for your individual circumstances.

Child custody cases are often emotionally charged. We can empathize with the difficult challenges our clients face. We will be a steady guide throughout this process, working with you to achieve a parenting plan that considers your long term goals and is in your child's best interests.

In some cases, circumstances change in one or both parents' lives, or in the lives of the children that require a reevaluation of the original child custody or visitation agreement. When this is the case, our firm represents parents in modification of parenting plans, child custody and support agreements, and visitation agreements.

In addition to custody issues, we also represent clients in developing child support agreements and/or parenting plans.

Contact us today to arrange for thorough, effective legal support throughout your divorce and child custody dispute.
