Distinguished Fort Worth Family Law Attorneys

Family law matters are emotional. Making the decision to divorce a spouse is one of the hardest decisions most people will ever make. However, it is only the first step in a process that divides up the family assets, determines where the children will live, assigns parenting time, and determines whether a spouse will receive financial support after the marriage. At the Law Office of Gary L. Nickelson, in Fort Worth, Texas, our lawyers have been helping people work through complex family matters for three decades. We have the experience and resourcefulness to handle all aspects of complex divorce matters.

Divorce - Divorce is often the last step in a long and emotional process. Our attorneys are committed to providing compassionate representation to people who have turned to divorce as a last option for ending a bad marriage
Child Custody and Visitation - Determining child custody and visitation schedules are often the most emotionally draining aspect of a divorce. We work closely with our clients to help them make decisions that are in the best interest of their children.
Child Support - Child support is paid to the custodial parent in all but the most extreme cases. Our lawyers are committed to ensuring that children receive the financial support they need and the state demands.
Spousal Maintenance and Alimony - Texas has complex and somewhat limiting laws regarding alimony. When appropriate our attorneys work aggressively to ensure our clients receive the financial support they need to maintain their financial standing after a divorce.
Domestic Violence - Spousal abuse and child abuse significantly impact all divorce matters. When allegations of domestic violence complicate a divorce, we strive to protect the immediate and long-term interests of our clients.
Property Division - Determining what is marital property and how it should be divided is one of the issues that commonly leads to divorce litigation. Our attorneys strive to obtain equitable distribution of marital property for our clients.
Post-Divorce Modification - Many family law issues, such as child support, relocation, and child custody, continue even after a divorce is finalized. We strive to build relationships with our client so we are prepared to handle any issues that arise after a divorce.
Mediation and Collaborative Law - Our firm is committed to helping people resolve divorce disputes using collaborative law. This is a legally binding process where people agree not to go to court, but work together to create mutually acceptable divorce agreements.
How to Save your Marriage - Filing for divorce is easier than reconciling a marriage. However, in the long run, saving a marriage is usually better than divorce. We strive to help people work through the issues that brought them to our office and when appropriate provide the resources necessary to save their marriage.
