Child Custody

San Antonio Child Custody Attorney

Helping families in need

The more that you and your spouse can find common ground, the more you will be able to minimize the pain, stress, and expense that accompanies divorce. This principle is especially true for child custody cases. I have represented many parents in custody cases. To discuss your legal needs with an experienced child custody lawyer, contact me, Michael W. Jackson, for a consultation.

Child Custody Services

I handle child custody matters that entail:

• Conservatorship
• Enforcements and modifications
• Joint legal custody
• Visitation
• Out of state custody
• Shared child custody agreements
• Relocation custody

Both parents want the best for their children, but can often disagree on what that means. If they cannot agree on a custody plan, the court will decide the case in the best interests of the child. If you disagree with your spouse over primary custody, I can help you present your case in the best light possible. I have the insight and ability to persuade decision makers about what is best for children. I also interact well with counselors and other mental health professionals who work within the court system.

If you and your spouse do agree, I can help you create a simple, workable parenting plan that will enable you to raise your children together, despite the divorce.

The Importance of Working Together

Even though you are divorcing, you still have to work together to raise your children. In order to smooth the custody process, we may need to work with outside professionals such as psychiatrists, child psychologists and counselors so that your and your children's' emotional needs are met as well as your legal needs. My goal is to minimize the acrimony between you and your spouse, for the sake of your children. After this case is over, you will no longer be husband and wife, but you will continue to be a mother and a father. Of course, it takes both parents working together to achieve the goal.
