Focused counsel

Clear direction when the personal stakes are high.

Texas family-law cases can require immediate decisions about children, finances, property, and day-to-day stability. A thoughtful plan begins with understanding the current orders, the available evidence, and the result that matters most to you.

Chase Butler works with clients to identify the urgent issues, explain realistic options, and prepare each matter for negotiation, mediation, or trial as the facts require.

How the firm can help

Family-law matters may include

  • 01

    Contested and uncontested divorce

  • 02

    Conservatorship, possession, and access

  • 03

    Child support and spousal-maintenance issues

  • 04

    Division of marital property and debt

  • 05

    Modification and enforcement of existing orders

  • 06

    Temporary orders and other time-sensitive disputes

This list is illustrative, not a promise that the firm can accept a particular matter. Representation begins only after conflicts are checked and a written engagement agreement is signed.

The Butler approach

A disciplined start to the case

  1. 01

    Understand the present situation

    Review the pleadings, existing orders, deadlines, and the practical issues affecting the family now.

  2. 02

    Define the priorities

    Separate the urgent decisions from the long-term goals and identify the evidence needed for both.

  3. 03

    Prepare for resolution or trial

    Develop a clear position for negotiation while preparing to present the facts in court if necessary.

Starting the conversation

Common questions

When should I speak with a family-law attorney?

As early as practical—especially if you have been served, a hearing is scheduled, or an existing order may have been violated. Deadlines and available options depend on the facts of the case.

Does every divorce or custody case go to trial?

No. Many matters resolve through agreement or mediation. Careful trial preparation can still help clarify the issues and improve the quality of settlement decisions.

What should I bring to an initial consultation?

Bring any petitions, orders, hearing notices, relevant communications, and a short timeline. Financial records may also be useful in divorce or support matters. Do not alter or delete potential evidence.
