What happens when you face off against a celebrity or other high-net-worth individual over child custody and child support? If your finances are tight and the case isn’t related to a divorce dispute—you never married—Texas has stacked the odds against you.

As a Fort Worth divorce attorney, I’ve represented clients and seen inequities on both sides of the equation. Many “have nots” can make life miserable for the other parent, too. However, my duty as a member of the State Bar of Texas is to seek agreements where fairness wins, especially for the children who end up caught in the middle.
