Committed to Preserving Your Family's Best Interests

The state of Texas uses unique terms when referring to child custody, but the basis of custody arrangements in the state are similar to those made elsewhere in the country. Whether or not the court gets involved depends on you and your former spouse's ability to get along.

We understand that custody decisions are often made more difficult by personal desires. In your quest to achieve a favorable outcome, turn to the firm that understands family law better than most. Our family law child custody lawyer has been representing Flower Mound residents for years and never shies away from defending your rights.

Align Your Goals With a Firm That Cares!

There are two broad custody categories – physical and legal. Physical determines where the child lives and spends their time, while legal applies to each parent's ability to make decisions for their child. The court can assign joint custody, which means that the parents share time with the child and make decisions together, sole custody, which means that one parent gets both physical and legal custody, or split custody.

The following factors are considered with establishing custody orders:

  • The parents willingness to work together
  • The child's best interests
  • Each parent's financial resources
  • The age and number of children
  • Where each parent lives
  • The child's relationships with the parents

More than anything, the court seeks to ensure that the child's best interests are upheld at all times. Your desires for your child may look different than the court's opinion and going without legal assistance can be risky. At Haugen Law Firm, P.C., we are dedicated to preserving your relationship with your child.

You can count on our firm to stand by your side throughout the entirety of your case. Known for our client-centered approach and ability to secure positive results, there is a reason why we are a trusted name in Texas.

    "Salvaged My Situation"
    After meeting with Mr. Haugen, I felt he was honest, qualified and had a commitment to my best interest, which my previous attorney failed to do. Mr. Haugen was up against salvaging my situation my previous attorney made a mess of. Mr. Haugen is an honest and extremely competent attorney who is tough, yet remains calm and collected. He salvaged the mess I was in and helped me to move on. For that I greatly appreciate his service.
    "Assured That I Am In Good Hands"
    I had no idea how this all would work. But, no matter how small and confusing my questions were they were all treated with importance and taken seriously. I was never pushed, but was always assured that I am in good hands. I was able to trust John, which is rare. I have no second thoughts about having him as my lawyer or recommending him to my loved ones.
    "Not Enough Money Or Words To Show How I Feel"
    I don't have enough money or words to show how I feel. I can't express enough how much I really appreciate everything.
    "Shifted My Thinking From Tactical To Strategic"
    John was very knowledgeable on divorce. He helped me shift my thinking from tactical to strategic. John is a stand-up guy.
    "High Ethical Standards"
    Everything was clearly explained. I could tell Mr. H has very high ethical standards which created a sense of trust for us. He was thorough and met all my deadlines. I've had only negative experiences before Mr. H regarding lawyers. I will be recommending him to everyone who needs legal help.

    I was informed on what was going on and what to expect. I felt like I was treated with respect, and that my situation was very important to the firm. And I had nothing to worry about.
    "John and Delaney put me at ease and took the stress out of my situation."
    Divorce is a very stressfull life event. John and Delaney put me at ease and took the stress out of my situation. I cannot stress enough how at ease they made me feel, knowing that everything was handled. They gave me the confidence that we could, and did, get what I needed and was asking for quickly without going to court. Thank you Haugen Law!!
