Collin County, TX Child Custody Lawyer

Skilled Attorneys for Sole or Joint Custody

Any parents entering into a child custody case will have many questions and concerns. The most important issue, however, is establishing a safe and secure environment for their children both during and after the legal process. Whether you are undergoing a divorce, looking to reestablish custody, or amending a previously agreed-upon agreement, the family law attorneys at The Ramage Law Group can advocate for you and your children to achieve the best possible outcome. We work tirelessly for our clients because we know how important family relationships are.

Benefits of Using a Collin County, Texas Child Custody Attorney

Each child custody case is different, and these cases can include many different factors. The Ramage Law Group attorneys will help you navigate the Texas family law procedures to establish your child custody agreement. We usually recommend that our clients have a court order established to put a legal framework around their agreement and clearly describe the rights and obligations of both parents.

Once a child custody agreement is in place, modifications are allowed if there have been “material and substantial” changes in the circumstances of the original agreement. These changes may include:

A new medical condition or disability affecting either a parent or a child
Change in custodial preference of the child, provided they are 12 years old or older
Relocation by a parent due to a change in job or another reason
Actions by one parent to alienate the child from the other parent
Custodial parent moves without notifying the other parent
Abusive or neglectful behavior towards the child

More severe cases may result in one parent pursuing an emergency change of custody. These high-conflict custody cases can involve drug or alcohol abuse, mental illness, alienation, or other unsafe conditions. Our attorneys are well-prepared to handle such cases, and we will always act in your and your children’s best interests.

Fathers' Rights and Grandparents' Rights in Collin County, TX

Texas law now recognizes fathers’ changing roles in their children’s lives. This recognition means equal legal footing in custody cases. Our fathers’ rights lawyers will help you establish your legal rights to visitation, joint custody, or sole custody, depending on the circumstances of the case. These issues may need to be addressed by fathers who are going through a divorce, are looking to change a previous agreement after a divorce, or are the unmarried partner to the mother of their child.

Grandparents can step in and establish custody or other legal protections for their grandchildren if neither biological parent can provide a safe living environment. Options for grandparents seeking better circumstances for their grandchildren include:

Child custody – We can assess your situation and determine if pursuing custody is the best option. Custody can also include establishing or modifying child support, and we can ensure that these obligations will provide for children’s needs.
Guardianship – We can help you determine if legal guardianship of grandchildren is the best solution for your case.
Adoption – Our attorneys can help grandparents with contested and uncontested adoptions. If a case is contested, it may require terminating parental rights, which can be a challenging standard to meet.

No matter the circumstances of your custody case, our law firm is ready to help you create a safe and stable situation for you and your children.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words cannot truly express the gratitude I have for Claudia Brice and the Ramage Law Group. They stood by me through a year long custody battle that was one of the hardest seasons of my life. When my son’s dad tried to take away the most important person in my world just to avoid child support, I knew I needed someone strong, relentless, and compassionate and that’s exactly what I found.  I had the privilege of working closely with Claudia Brice, Jackie Bell, and Caitlyn Politz, and every single one of them went above and beyond. They were organized, responsive, and immediately took action to protect my son and me. They made me feel cared for not just as a client but as a person.

Claudia is more than just an attorney she is a SUPERWOMAN in law and a true fighter with the heart of a protector. She is humble, kind, and understanding, yet fierce in the courtroom. She made sure I understood my rights and options every step of the way and even in the middle of all the stress and heartache, her funny sense of humor made me laugh when I thought I couldn’t anymore. Sitting beside her in court, I felt a peace and confidence I never thought I’d feel during such a painful time, because I knew she was fighting as if it were her own family on the line.

I will forever recommend Claudia Brice and the Ramage Law Group to anyone facing a family battle. Claudia, thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thomas with Ramage Law Group is absolutely phenomenal. He was always available to assist, answer questions that he could answer, and listened- he didn’t interrupt, he wasn’t rude, he just listened. As a mom of a child with disabilities who desperately needed assistance, it meant a lot. Dr. Brinkman even took the time out to talk to me. Although I did not receive services due to services were no longer needed, this is going to be the first place I call if I ever need services. Thank you, Ramage Law Group.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Although I did not sign the contract and chose a different lawyer, I can say that the Ramage law group is very responsive and dedicated to help solve your legal challenges.
Noteworthy is Crystal the Client intake coordinator, who is very polite, responsive and supportive. This is a team who I believe would have your back from start to finish and make sure you are informed of every document, response, hearing, option or challenge especially in a timely manner and make sure that they are advocating and fighting for your rights every step of they way.
Thank you.
