Are you looking for an experienced family lawyer in the Houston, TX area? The Law Office of Judy Ritts represents clients in child custody, child support & more. Judy Ritts is a knowledgeable divorce attorney, who has served Houston for more than 25 years. Divorce and other family law cases are often a matter of strategy and timing. I promise you that I own a big baseball bat and I know how to use it, but I rarely want to show it to the other team at the beginning of a game.
I don't allow spit on the ball but have no objection to stealing bases. Home runs are great but most games are won by effective pitching, consistent hitting and good fielding. I've been playing this particular game here in Houston for over twenty years; I know the umpires, I'm familiar with the stadium, and I know many of the other players. A good coach uses past experience and a thorough understanding of the game to predict what will probably happen and how to best handle it.
I believe that players, and my clients, are always free agents - free to follow good advice and free to reject it.

We are divorce lawyers.
We know, if you are walking in our door, this is not what you planned, not what you hoped for, maybe not even what you want now.
We are sorry about that.
But you need to know, this isn't therapy.
This is seriously getting things done now so we can get you through this and on with your life.
We will do what we have to do - even implant a spine if necessary - so you can finally stand up and do what needs to be done.
That includes you too, guys.
I will tell you right now, I am not easily intimidated.

Describing family law is a lot like trying to describe a tree.
If you're a caterpillar trying to get from the ground to a leaf, the path is similar no matter what side of the tree you start on but which leaf you land on is determined by all the choices you make along the way.
A word of caution!
The following description applies to family law cases in Harris and Fort Bend Counties, Texas.
Comments about those courts may or may not apply to courts in other counties.
Texas law requires that you have lived in the State of Texas for six months and the county where you file for ninety days.

Over the last 25 years, I have been asked many questions.
Some have been serious and relevant, e.g., "How long will I be required to pay child support?"
Some have been not so intelligent, e.g., "Do you think my cocaine use will affect my chances of getting custody?"
As a lawyer, I try to answer them all, some more gently than others.
On the pages below, I have answered some of the questions you have asked.

Family law covers areas of law that govern the relationships between family members, including divorce, annulment, adoption, child custody, child support, spousal support, visitation, paternity, protective orders, and fathers' rights.
The term "family law" is used to distinguish those statutes from other areas of law such as probate (which addresses the handling of property after death), criminal law (which addresses crimes prosecuted by the state), or corporate law (which deals with the structuring and organization of businesses).
