Family Law Attorney in Houston

125 Years of Combined Experience, With Every Case Prepared for Trial

At Diggs & Sadler, we prepare every family law matter with the care and discipline it would require in court. Our team-based model brings the collective insight and resources of our attorneys to cases involving divorce, child custody, asset division, international family law, and LGBTQ+ family law.

Our Houston family lawyers have more than 125 years of combined legal experience. We shape each strategy around your circumstances, priorities, and long-term concerns, whether your case is suited to mediation or requires vigorous trial advocacy.

A Full-Team Strategy for Your Family Law Case

When you engage one of our attorneys, you gain the resources of our full firm. We review each case as a team, identify legal and practical risks, and prepare for litigation from the outset instead of waiting for negotiations to break down.

Our approach is built around four principles:

• Team-Based Review: We draw on the experience and perspective of multiple attorneys to evaluate your options and shape a strategy.
• Trial-Ready Preparation: We develop the evidence and legal arguments needed for hearings or trial while pursuing appropriate negotiated solutions.
• Individualized Advocacy: We account for your family structure, financial circumstances, and priorities.
• Client-First Counsel: We listen carefully, explain your options, and keep your objectives central throughout the case.

Family Law Matters We Handle in Houston

A family law case may involve immediate household concerns alongside financial decisions with lasting consequences. We represent clients across interconnected issues that often must be resolved in the same proceeding.

Our family law practice includes:

• Divorce: Contested and uncontested proceedings involving negotiation, mediation, hearings, trials, and appeals.
• Child Custody and Conservatorship: Parental rights, possession schedules, decision-making authority, and high-conflict disputes. “Conservatorship” is the Texas legal term for the rights and duties assigned to a child’s parents.
• Property Division: The characterization, valuation, and division of marital assets, including cases that require forensic accounting.
• Financial Support: Spousal support, child support, and related financial obligations.
• Enforcement and Modification: Proceedings involving existing custody, possession, or support orders.
• Marital Agreements: Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements addressing property rights and financial expectations.
