Divorce Representation

Ending a marriage is never easy, but having the right legal guidance can make all the difference. We handle both contested and uncontested divorces with a focus on efficiency and fairness. From dividing property and debts to addressing spousal support, we tailor our approach to fit your specific goals. Our mission is to help you reach a resolution that sets you on a solid path forward.

Child Custody & Parenting Time

When children are involved, we work diligently to protect their best interests. Whether you’re establishing an initial custody agreement or seeking to modify an existing one, we provide thoughtful, solutions-oriented advocacy. We aim to create parenting plans that promote stability, cooperation, and the well-being of your child.

Child Support

Child support ensures that both parents contribute financially to their child’s upbringing.  Attorney Hicks helps clients establish, enforce, and modify child support orders in accordance with Texas guidelines, ensuring your child’s financial needs are met. 

Property Division

Texas is a community property state, meaning assets and debts acquired during marriage are generally divided equally. Attorney Hicks works to ensure a fair division of marital property, including real estate, retirement accounts, businesses, and other assets.

Spousal Maintenance 

In some cases, one spouse may be entitled to financial support after divorce. We help clients understand their rights regarding spousal maintenance and work to secure fair and appropriate support arrangements.

Modifications

Life changes and so can court orders.  If your circumstances have changed significantly, we can help you modify existing custody, support, or visitation orders to better reflect your current situation. 

Family Law Mediation

Attorney Hicks is a trained mediator who offers neutral, confidential mediation services to help families resolve disputes outside of court. Mediation is often a cost-effective and less adversarial alternative to litigation — especially in divorce and custody matters. As a mediator, Attorney Hicks helps both parties reach mutually agreeable solutions while preserving dignity and respect throughout the process.
