Child Custody and Visitation

Austin, Texas, Child Custody and Relocation Lawyer

If you haven't been able to resolve your complicated child custody issues to your liking, a fresh effort from a Texas Board Certified Family Law Specialist might be your best option. At The Law Office of James W. Piper, we know that emotions often result in child custody, child support and relocation battles that put the child's best interests to the forefront.

Attorney James Piper offers more than 33 years of family law experience, including serving as managing attorney for the Legal Aid Society of Texas. We understand the legal needs of families with child custody issues. We confine our practice exclusively to handling complex divorce and family law matters.

In Texas, child custody is termed "conservatorship". Most parents are joint managing conservators of their children. However, when domestic abuse, drugs or alcohol, neglect or other issues threaten the child's best interests, a parent can have their conservatorship rights restricted. No matter how complex your child custody issues may appear, we have the knowledge and skill to find a fair resolution at the settlement table, and fight for your rights and interests in court, when necessary.

We have extensive experience representing people involved in child custody litigation matters such as:

• Physical and legal custody
• Changing custody
• Parenting plans
• Paternity law
• Custodial parent relocation
• Child support and enforcement
• Grandparents' rights
