With a client-centric approach, our skilled legal team ensures that every case receives the personalized attention it deserves.

Our attorneys support clients through various stages of divorce, including matters related to children and property. They guide clients in addressing child custody and visitation concerns and in crafting tailored child custody agreements and parenting plans. When necessary, they represent clients in court, working diligently to safeguard their interests throughout the process. During these divorce proceedings, property and asset division can also become contentious. Our adept family law attorneys work to identify marital assets, protect separate property assets, value community property assets, and advocate a just and right division.

Our family law attorneys in the Houston area draft and review pre-marital and post-marital agreements that can safeguard each party’s assets in the event of divorce or death. Premarital and postmarital agreements can also be used to protect income generated from separate property assets that would otherwise become part of the community estate. Our attorneys work with parties to appropriately identify separate property assets, determine the financial needs and intent of the parties, and then construct an agreement that will alleviate the uncertainty and expense of a complicated divorce.

For clients seeking a cooperative and private approach to divorce, we offer collaborative divorce services. This process allows both spouses to work toward a mutually agreeable resolution outside of court, with the guidance of collaboratively trained attorneys. Jennifer Varadi, who is formally trained in the collaborative divorce model, leads clients through this respectful and future-focused process. Collaborative divorce often involves neutral financial and child specialists and is well-suited for clients who want to minimize conflict, preserve family relationships, and maintain greater control over the outcome.

Even after a final order has been put in place, circumstances may arise that require further legal intervention. The family law team at Crain Caton & James stands ready to assist with issues such as the enforcement or modification of existing orders relating to custody, visitation, and child support.
