About Our Kingwood Office

A Law Firm Built for Kingwood Families

Kingwood is one of the most distinctive communities in the Houston metro — a master-planned neighborhood built around green space, strong schools, and a family-first culture that has defined this area for decades. The residents of “The Livable Forest” have built a particular kind of life here, and when legal challenges arise, they deserve representation that matches the standards of the community they call home. The Law Office of Bryan Fagan’s Kingwood office is here for exactly that reason.

When Kingwood families face divorce, custody disputes, criminal charges, or situations where family law and criminal defense overlap, they need an attorney with the right crossover expertise — not a generalist who handles a little of everything. Our Kingwood supervising attorney, Haley Knighten, has built her practice specifically around the intersection of family law and criminal defense, giving clients whose situations span both areas a strategic advantage that most attorneys simply cannot offer.

At our Kingwood office, the standard is the same as every Bryan Fagan location: you meet with an attorney at your first appointment. You will leave that meeting with a clear picture of your legal situation and a path forward — not a brochure and a follow-up call.

Our Office · A Kingwood Landmark

Legal Representation in the Heart of Kingwood

Kingwood families have always had strong local values — and finding an attorney who reflects those values matters. Our Rockmead Drive office is strategically located close to the courts and communities our clients need to navigate, staffed by a supervising attorney who is as comfortable in a Harris County courtroom as she is across the table from you at your first consultation.

Haley Knighten’s background in both family law and criminal defense is not an accident — it is a deliberate practice build designed for cases where these two areas of law intersect. Domestic situations with criminal components, custody matters involving prior charges, family law hearings where criminal history is relevant — Kingwood clients with these complications get an attorney who understands the full picture, not just one side of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Real questions from Kingwood and Northeast Houston families — answered honestly.

Costs & Fees

Attorney fees in Kingwood vary depending on the complexity of your case and whether it is contested or uncontested. At our Rockmead Drive office, we offer free initial consultations so you can understand your legal situation and potential costs before making any commitment. Uncontested divorces and straightforward custody matters typically cost significantly less than contested cases that require hearings. The best starting point is a conversation — call 281-315-9737 with no obligation.

Divorce & Property

Not automatically — but any retirement contributions made during the marriage are generally considered community property in Texas. The portion you contributed before the marriage may be classified as separate property if it can be properly traced. Dividing a 401k or pension correctly requires a QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) to avoid costly tax penalties. This is among the most contested financial issues in Harris County divorces, and our Kingwood attorney handles it regularly.

Leaving the marital home voluntarily can be interpreted by Harris County courts as relinquishing your interest in that property — and it can establish a custody pattern that is difficult to change later. If you move out and the children remain, courts may treat that living arrangement as the baseline for custody decisions. Before you decide where to stay during a divorce, speak with our Kingwood attorney first. A single conversation can prevent a costly and irreversible misstep.

Waiting too long to get qualified legal advice. Many clients come to our Kingwood office after they have already moved out of the house, made verbal agreements about property or custody, or posted about their divorce on social media — all of which can negatively affect their case. The earlier in the process you speak with an attorney, the more tools you have to protect yourself. Call 281-315-9737 for a free, no-pressure consultation.

Custody & Child Support

Texas courts do not presume either parent over the other — the focus is entirely on the best interest of the child. In practice, 50/50 possession schedules are becoming more common in Harris County when both parents are actively involved, stable, and capable of cooperating. The Standard Possession Order provides non-primary parents with the first, third, and fifth weekends, Thursday evenings, and extended summer time. Our Kingwood attorney regularly advocates for fathers seeking expanded possession and knows what Harris County courts respond to.

Texas has robust child support enforcement tools, including wage withholding, bank account seizure, suspension of driver’s licenses and professional licenses, and incarceration for willful non-payment. If your co-parent is behind on court-ordered support, our Kingwood attorney can file an enforcement action in Harris County family courts. Depending on the arrears, there may also be options to collect back support with interest. Call 281-315-9737 to discuss your enforcement options.

Texas uses a percentage-of-net-income formula. For one child, the guideline is 20% of net monthly resources — approximately $1,000 per month at a $5,000 gross income, after standard deductions. For two children it is 25%, three children 30%, four children 35%, and five or more children 40%. These are guideline figures that courts may adjust for special circumstances such as extraordinary medical needs or significant travel costs for custody exchanges. Our Kingwood attorney can walk you through a specific calculation for your situation.

Texas updated its child support net resource ceiling and calculation guidelines in 2026, raising the cap and potentially increasing support obligations for higher-earning parents. If you are a Kingwood parent with an existing child support order that was set before 2026, and your income or circumstances have changed, a modification review may be appropriate. Our attorney stays current on all legislative updates that affect Harris County families.
