Experienced and Diligent Frisco Divorce Lawyer
Strong and Proven Advocacy for Divorce Clients
If you are considering a divorce, it is important that you have an experienced family law attorney by your side from the start. These proceedings can be extremely contentious and can take a serious toll on everyone, especially if you have children. Having strong representation can go a long way toward ensuring that your interests and the interests of your children are protected.
At the Vern D. Richards Law Office, I offer my clients over 10 years of experience in the practice of law, and I have spent my entire career in Texas. I represent clients in every facet of a divorce proceeding. I commit myself to obtaining the most favorable possible outcome for my clients in every case.
Divorce Agreements
A divorce agreement is a comprehensive document that clearly defines all of the rights and responsibilities of each spouse once the divorce has been finalized. Typical divorce agreements include provisions for custody and visitation, child support and property division. At the beginning of the proceeding, we will work to negotiate an agreement that works for both spouses. If there are any areas that cannot be agreed upon, Texas law requires that the matter go to mediation. If mediation fails, the matter goes to court, and the judge makes the final decision.
It is often in the best interests of everyone involved to reach an agreement on all issues, whenever possible, through an alternative dispute resolution (such as mediation) that avoids a litigated outcome in a courtroom. I often benefit my clients by being a certified mediator with substantial experience in the mediation process.
Divorce matters are far from uniformly resolved through mediation, however, and a client's best interests can sometimes be fully protected only by going to court. I prepare every client matter for trial, knowing from experience that doing so optimally promotes a client's rights and ensures a best-case outcome, whether that is ultimately through a court decision or a less adversarial process.
