Our Legal Services

Family law involves a wide variety of issues that involve the legal relationship between relatives. Sometimes these issues overlap, as they often do in divorce, but they can also arise on their own. No matter what you’re up against, though, you can count on our Hood divorce lawyers at the Law Office of Mark M. Childress to provide you with competent legal counsel that can help you achieve your goals.

We can offer legal services that address a number of family law matters, such as these:

  • Adoption – This can be a long and difficult process, often involving a lot of “red tape.” An experienced attorney, though, can help you make sense of the adoption process.
  • Child Custody – This issue occurs when parents disagree on who should have more time with their children, which means a judge must decide in the child’s best interest.
  • Child Visitation – Parents can still disagree on how much access the non-custodial parent has to a child, so an attorney can help either fight to ensure their child’s best interests are upheld.
  • Divorce – Divorce is often complicated because it involves a variety of family law issues, requiring sophisticated legal representation to secure the best possible settlement terms.
  • Modifications – Sometimes the circumstances surrounding certain court orders change, so a modification may be necessary to account for such change – particularly in issues involving child support, spousal support, and child custody.
  • Paternity – If a child is born outside of a marriage, the father doesn’t have a legal claim to custody or visitation until he legally establishes his paternity in court.
  • Property Division – Texas is an equitable distribution state, which means division of marital property isn’t always 50/50. Ensuring you get your fair share can require the assistance of an experienced attorney.

Should you require help with any of these legal matters, reach out to our family law attorneys in Hood for help.

The Law Office of Mark M. Childress is also capable of addressing many more family law issues, so get in touch with us today if you have another family law matter that you don’t see explicitly mentioned above.

  • Mark was there to answer every question, every phone call and did it in a way that I felt as if I were his only client.

    “I needed an attorney who would stand up for me and my child during a very hard time. Mark was there to answer every question, every phone call and did it in a way that I felt as if I were his only client. He was very knowledgeable not only about the law but about the opposing attorney and the judge. He prepared me well and we won our case. I would recommend Mark Childress to anyone who is fighting for custody or in need of child support.”

  • I highly recommend him and his staff. They are courteous, prompt and they care.

    “I called in inquiring about a divorce and how it all happens. I had 2 people call me back within an hour and in an hour maybe 2 I was talking with the lawyer. I highly recommend him and his staff. They are courteous, prompt and they care. Divorce is the hardest thing we will go through minus losing a kid and his team will be retained. He even called me back himself the next day to see how I was. Great service.”

  • This guy is amazing. In a matter of minutes, he accomplished what no other attorney could in 6 years.

My family is finally in tact and everyone is finally happy.”
