How We Help In Abuse Cases

Domestic violence does not look the same in every family. Some clients come to us while still living with an abusive spouse. Others are already separated but experiencing stalking, threats, or harassment. Many are in the middle of a divorce or custody dispute where abuse has escalated. In all of these situations, our role is to bring safety and legal structure to a chaotic and frightening reality.

We handle family law matters where domestic violence affects decisions about divorce, custody, and property. Depending on your circumstances, we may discuss options such as protective orders and temporary orders that address who stays in the home, where children will live, and how finances are handled while the case is pending. Our attorneys explain how these tools work in Texas, and we help you decide what steps fit your situation and safety needs.

Our lawyers have worked in Texas family law for decades, and as a team we have centuries of combined experience. That depth matters when domestic violence allegations are disputed or minimized, and when you need to present evidence carefully to a judge. We understand how judges generally look at patterns of abuse, threats, and control when they make decisions about custody, visitation, and living arrangements.

A domestic violence lawyer Midland also needs to appreciate how trauma affects communication and decision making. We strive to meet you where you are. We can plan meetings and calls in ways that protect your privacy and give you room to tell your story at your own pace. Throughout the process, we keep you informed about what to expect next so you are not left guessing.

Protecting Children & Future Stability

For many clients in Midland, children are the strongest reason they reach out for help. They may feel able to endure abuse themselves but cannot accept what their children are seeing or experiencing. Texas family law focuses on the best interest of the child, and a history of domestic violence can significantly affect custody and visitation decisions when it is presented clearly.

We talk with you about specific incidents, patterns of behavior, and how the children have been affected. Depending on the facts, a court may consider limiting unsupervised access, ordering supervised visitation, or putting detailed safety provisions into a parenting plan. Our attorneys work to craft requests that reflect your children’s needs and that are realistic for the family courts that serve Midland County.

Abuse is often tied to financial control. One spouse may keep the other away from accounts, control spending, or use money as a tool of punishment. For clients with significant assets, business interests, or complex investments, leaving an abusive relationship can feel like stepping off a cliff. Our firm is known for handling high-asset complex property division cases, and that experience is directly relevant when the abusive partner controls wealth.

We analyze the marital estate, which may include real estate, business ownership, retirement accounts, and investments. Our focus is on protecting income and assets during the divorce process and positioning you for long-term stability. We also address child support and, when the law allows, spousal maintenance. By pairing our financial analysis with the domestic violence history, we work to show the court the full picture of how abuse has affected your economic life.

Steps To Take If You Feel Unsafe

When you are afraid of your partner, every decision can feel risky. The right steps depend on your specific situation, and nothing replaces advice tailored to your life. Still, there are practical actions that many people in your position find helpful as they move toward safety and legal protection.

If you are in immediate danger in Midland or anywhere in Texas, your first priority is physical safety. Contact emergency services if you can do so safely. Once you are out of immediate danger, you can start to think about how to protect yourself and your children in a more lasting way.

Many clients begin by considering steps like these:

Finding a safer place to stay if you believe violence could escalate.
Saving or copying important documents such as identification, financial records, and any existing court orders.
Preserving evidence of abuse, which may include photos, messages, emails, or medical records.
Keeping a private record of incidents, dates, and any witnesses, stored somewhere your partner cannot access.
Speaking with a family law attorney confidentially to learn about protective orders, temporary custody options, and financial protections that may be available.

We understand that not every step is possible or safe for every person. During a consultation, we listen carefully to what you are facing and talk through what feels realistic for you. We can also discuss how to communicate with us safely, whether that is through calls from a trusted location, secure email, or other methods tailored to your privacy needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my spouse find out that I talked to you?

Initial consultations with our firm are confidential. We do not inform your spouse that you met with us. If a case is later filed, certain information may appear in court documents, but we plan with you in advance so you understand what could become part of the public record.

How does abuse affect custody decisions in Texas?

Judges in Texas generally consider a history of domestic violence when deciding custody and visitation. The details and evidence matter. We work with you to present relevant information about safety, past incidents, and the children’s needs so the court can evaluate what arrangements are in their best interest.

What are the first legal steps if I feel unsafe?

The first legal steps often involve discussing whether a protective order or temporary orders about children and property are appropriate. During a consultation, we review your situation, explain what these orders can and cannot do, and help you decide whether requesting court involvement is the right step for your safety.

How will your attorneys communicate with me safely?

We tailor communication to your safety needs. Together we decide which phone numbers, email addresses, or mailing addresses are safe to use. We can avoid leaving detailed messages and schedule calls when you are away from home or at a secure location, so you stay informed without increasing your risk.
