Divorce

If you’re considering a divorce or in the middle of a divorce, it’s critical that you have an effective advocate and protector in your corner — because your spouse probably will. Learn how our experienced divorce lawyers can help.

Marital Agreements

We believe in true love, but we also believe in being prudent and realistic. Unfortunately, 50% of marriages end in divorce. If you’re considering a premarital agreement, or a post-marital agreement, a knowledgeable family law attorney at CrossMcShane is ready to discuss your personalized needs.

Adoptions

Adoptions are complicated matters. It’s essential to have a family law attorney by your side who knows the process and its pitfalls. We frequently help hopeful adoptive parents negotiate the many steps of this life-changing process smoothly and with minimal stress.

Child Custody & Support

Your children are your most precious treasure, and when it’s time to protect their emotional, physical and financial well-being you should have a knowledgeable and experienced family lawyer by your side. Many studies document the pronounced adverse effect of a poorly handled family law case on children. Discover how our dedicated child custody and child support lawyers will fight for your children's future.

Enforcement Actions

When a former spouse is not honoring the terms of a divorce decree or support or custody order, frustration is common, and tempers can flare. Your lawyer should be the calm in the proverbial storm for you. The no-nonsense lawyers at CrossMcShane will hold the offender accountable, seek from the court the appropriate punishment for the offender, and provide the offender a disincentive for future violations.

What People Say about the Dallas Family Law Attorneys at CrossMcShane:

Your wisdom and compassion and strength helped me survive the last few years. Your presence in my life gave me the ability to believe that I could be happy, joyous and free. I’ll never forget you.

Without your help I would not have known the rare joy of knowing that I COULD make something of myself, not only personally but financially. More than any of my teachers, my parents or any of the other role models in my life, your enthusiasm and positive ‘can do’ attitude propelled me into some of the biggest achievements of my life.

You inspired me to reach beyond my comfort zone and try my hand at Collaborative Law. You also have inspired me to reach even further to help others and encourage them to ‘be all they can be’.
