Here are a few of the many Family Law matters Haven handles regularly:
Divorce
People file for divorce for many different reasons, from adultery to domestic abuse and everything in between. Divorce cases often lead to custody battles, property disputes, and other heated disagreements. At the Charlo Law Firm, PLLC, Haven’s goal is to make the process as peaceful as possible for you and your children.
These cases are often long and drawn out. Haven’s priority is to clearly and honestly communicate expectations with you, including costs and what's involved in the process, so that you can make the best decision regarding how to move forward.
Termination of parental rights
In certain cases, a parent or person acting as a conservator may need to file for Termination of Parental Rights to protect the child. If this is your situation, the Charlo Law Firm, PLLC, can help navigate your case as smoothly as possible and provide the legal support you need to do what is necessary for the child.
Child custody
The care and safety of your child involved is Haven’s top concern. Her goal is to ensure your children are put in the best possible environment where they can thrive, be safe, and experience the love they need to live a happy life.
If you are considering applying for full custody of your child, you need a Family Lawyer with experience that you can trust.
Protective orders
If you or your children feel unsafe with another family member, the Charlo Law Firm, PLLC, can file a protective order. A protective order legally forbids the other party from coming near you either temporarily or permanently. Commonly people refer to this as a restraining order but the correct term is protective order. Please ask Haven if you qualify for a protective order if you believe you or your children are in danger.
Property disputes
Divorce cases often come with property disputes. Because Texas is a community property state, the nuances of property division during a divorce can be difficult to understand.
It is essential to hire a skilled attorney who understands Texas law and can effectively negotiate the best possible outcome so that you get what you deserve without being taken advantage of. With over 25 years of experience fighting for clients, Attorney Haven Charlo can do what it takes to ensure you receive a fair share.
Adoption
At the Charlo Law Firm, PLLC, Haven loves being a part of helping families grow and flourish. She accepts private cases outside of agency adoptions. If you would like to adopt the child of a friend or relative who is unable, unwilling, or unfit to provide the care the child needs, the Charlo Law Firm, PLLC, is here to help you navigate through the child adoption process.
Child support
Many people do not realize that when they file for child support, the Attorney General does not represent the filer. They represent the state. So before you apply for child support, you need legal representation to protect your rights.
Additionally, the parent you sue for child support has likely hired a lawyer. If you do not have legal representation, their lawyer may be able to decrease the amount of child support they owe or even fight to give you custody and have you pay child support instead. You need to hire the Charlo Law Firm, PLLC, to ensure that your rights are protected.
CPS defense
If Child Protective Services has contacted you for any reason, it is essential that you seek a skilled Family Law Attorney immediately to protect your parental rights as well as the best interest of your children. The Charlo Law Firm, PLLC, will ensure you have the best legal representation available and help with the most favorable possible outcome in your case.
Ad litem/amicus attorney
Attorney Haven Charlo is also available to represent children as an Ad Litem or Amicus Attorney when needed.
