Family Law
Family Law in Greenway Plaza
Family law disputes are deeply personal and emotionally charged. In Greenway Plaza and throughout Harris County, families face complex decisions about divorce, child custody, child support, and property division. Texas is a community property state, meaning assets acquired during marriage are generally divided fairly between both spouses. Our experienced family law attorneys fight to protect your interests while keeping your family’s best interests at the center of every decision. Custody arrangements are determined using the “best interest of the child” standard. Harris County courts evaluate each parent’s involvement, stability, and ability to meet the child’s educational, medical, and emotional needs. If you’re facing custody disputes, relocation concerns, or modifications to existing orders, our Greenway Plaza family law attorneys provide aggressive advocacy backed by deep knowledge of local court procedures and judicial preferences. Whether your matter is uncontested or involves high-net-worth assets, business interests, or professional practices, we provide the strategic guidance needed to protect your rights and your children’s future. We handle divorces, custody arrangements, child support modifications, spousal support agreements, and complex property divisions with the skill and compassion every family deserves.

Estate Planning
Estate Planning in Greenway Plaza
Protecting your family’s financial security and legacy requires thoughtful estate planning. Whether you own a family business, hold significant real estate, have retirement assets, or simply want to ensure your wishes are honored, a comprehensive estate plan is essential. Greenway Plaza residents often overlook estate planning until it’s too late—when disability or death occurs without a plan in place.
Our estate planning attorneys help families and business owners in Greenway Plaza navigate wills, trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, probate avoidance strategies, and asset protection planning. We tailor every plan to your family’s unique situation—whether that involves business succession, protecting assets from creditors, planning for long-term care, or minimizing taxes. A well-structured trust can eliminate probate delays, maintain privacy, and provide flexibility in managing your family’s assets. We make the process straightforward and understandable, giving you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your family is protected.

Will vs. Trust
Wills require probate (public, slower, costly). Trusts avoid probate, provide privacy, can reduce taxes, and offer flexibility in managing assets across your lifetime and after your death.
Asset Protection & Planning
Business succession planning, Medicaid planning, retirement account protection, and real estate asset structuring ensure your family's wealth is preserved and transferred efficiently.
Probate Administration
Harris County probate courts oversee estate settlement, asset distribution, and debt/tax resolution. Proper planning with a trust can avoid probate entirely and protect your family's privacy.
Guardianship Establishment
Whether for a minor or incapacitated adult, Harris County guardianship requires court approval. We ensure proper legal procedures are followed to protect the ward and establish clear authority.
Probate & Guardianship
Probate and Guardianship in Greenway Plaza
When a loved one passes away without a clear estate plan, or when a minor or incapacitated person needs a legal guardian, Harris County probate courts oversee the process. Probate can be lengthy, expensive, and emotionally taxing on families. Our probate attorneys in Greenway Plaza guide families through every stage—from filing the initial petition through final distribution of assets.
Guardianship matters also require careful attention. Whether you’re seeking guardianship of a minor child due to parental incapacity or death, or establishing guardianship for an incapacitated adult, the Harris County probate court must approve the arrangement. We handle contested and uncontested guardianships, ensure compliance with all procedural requirements, and protect the ward’s interests throughout the process. Our goal is to move your case efficiently through Harris County probate court while ensuring your family’s interests are protected.

Your Legal Questions Answered
FAQs About Our Greenway Plaza Legal Services
Find answers to common questions across our three practice areas.
How long does a divorce take if I file in Harris County from Greenway Plaza?
Texas requires a mandatory 60-day waiting period from the filing date. Uncontested divorces (both parties agree on all terms) typically finalize in 2-3 months total. Contested divorces involve negotiations on custody, property division, and support, which can extend the timeline to 6 months to over a year depending on court schedules and case complexity. Our Greenway Plaza family law attorneys will provide a realistic timeline based on your specific situation and work efficiently toward resolution.
What factors determine child custody decisions in Harris County?
Texas courts use the “best interest of the child” standard, evaluating each parent’s involvement in the child’s life, physical and mental health, stability, work schedule, and ability to meet the child’s educational, medical, and emotional needs. Courts also consider the child’s preferences (age-dependent), the quality of the parent-child relationship, and which parent can provide a better environment for the child’s wellbeing. Our experienced family law attorneys aggressively advocate for custody arrangements that protect your parental rights while prioritizing your child’s best interests.
How is property divided in a Texas divorce?
Texas is a community property state, meaning assets and debts acquired during marriage are generally divided fairly (though not always equally) between spouses. Community property includes income, real estate, retirement accounts, and businesses acquired during marriage. Separate property (owned before marriage or received as a gift/inheritance) typically belongs to that spouse. Determining what is community vs. separate property and negotiating fair division requires experienced legal guidance. Our Greenway Plaza family law attorneys negotiate aggressively to protect your assets and financial future.
Am I required to pay or eligible to receive spousal support (alimony) in a Greenway Plaza divorce?
Spousal support eligibility in Harris County depends on factors including the length of the marriage, each spouse’s income and earning capacity, age, health, education, and ability to become self-supporting. Texas law allows for alimony in limited circumstances, typically for marriages of 10+ years or when one spouse cannot become self-supporting. Our family law attorneys evaluate your specific situation to determine your best strategy regarding spousal support claims or defenses.
If I'm arrested in Greenway Plaza or Harris County, what should I do immediately?
Upon arrest, exercise your constitutional right to remain silent. Do not answer police questions about your case. Clearly request an attorney and state, “I want to speak with a lawyer.” Do not consent to searches of your person, vehicle, or home without a warrant. Do not discuss your case with cellmates or anyone except your attorney. Contact Bryan Fagan Law Firm immediately—we’re available 24/7 for emergency criminal defense. Everything you do and say after arrest affects your case.
What are the penalties for a DWI conviction in Harris County?
First-time DWI convictions in Harris County carry up to $2,000 in fines, up to 180 days in jail, and a 90-day automatic driver’s license suspension. Subsequent convictions carry enhanced penalties including longer jail time (up to 2 years for a third conviction), higher fines, and extended license suspensions. A DWI also impacts your employment, professional licenses, and child custody arrangements. Our criminal defense attorneys challenge breath/blood tests, police procedures, and evidence to get DWI charges reduced or dismissed when possible.
What's the difference between a felony and misdemeanor charge in Texas?
Misdemeanors are lesser crimes punishable by up to one year in jail and fines up to $4,000. Felonies are more serious crimes with potential sentences ranging from probation to life imprisonment depending on the offense level. Felony convictions result in permanent criminal records, loss of voting rights, and barriers to employment and housing. Our criminal defense attorneys aggressively defend both misdemeanor and felony charges, fighting to reduce charges, secure dismissals, or negotiate favorable plea agreements.
Can I get my criminal record expunged or sealed in Harris County?
Eligibility for expungement (complete record destruction) or sealing depends on case outcomes—specifically dismissals, acquittals, or deferred adjudication. Some convictions may become eligible for expungement after a waiting period. Our criminal defense attorneys evaluate all expungement options to help remove barriers to employment, housing, professional licenses, and your future. Expungement and record sealing can be life-changing, and we pursue every available option for our clients.
Do I need a will, a trust, or both for my estate plan?
Both serve important purposes. A will dictates how your assets are distributed and allows you to name a guardian for minor children. However, wills go through probate (court process, public record, delays, costs). A trust avoids probate, maintains privacy, can reduce taxes, and provides flexibility in managing assets during your lifetime and after your death. Many families benefit from a comprehensive plan including both a will and a trust. Our Greenway Plaza estate planning attorneys recommend the right structure for your specific situation.
How much does estate planning cost in the Greenway Plaza area?
Estate planning costs depend on complexity. Simple wills typically cost $500-$1,500. Comprehensive estate plans including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives range from $2,000-$5,000+. High-net-worth families with complex assets, business interests, or special planning needs may require more extensive (and more costly) planning. We provide detailed fee estimates upfront and offer flexible payment arrangements. All new clients receive a free initial consultation.
What are the benefits of avoiding probate through trusts and planning?
Probate delays estate settlement by 6-12+ months, costs 3-7% of estate value, and is a public process. A properly structured trust avoids probate, allowing your family to access assets quickly, maintaining privacy, and preserving more of your estate for your beneficiaries. Additionally, trusts provide flexibility in managing assets across your lifetime and after your death, can address special needs or spendthrift concerns, and can minimize taxes. Our estate planning attorneys design comprehensive strategies to protect your family.
What happens if I become incapacitated and don't have powers of attorney or healthcare directives?
Without powers of attorney or healthcare directives, your family may need to seek guardianship through Harris County probate court—a costly, time-consuming process. Durable financial powers of attorney allow someone you trust to manage your finances if you become incapacitated. Healthcare powers of attorney and living wills allow you to designate someone to make medical decisions on your behalf. These documents are essential for every adult and especially important as you age. Our estate planning attorneys help you establish these critical protections.
