New Braunfels Family Law serves families in New Braunfels, across Comal County and in the surrounding area. We focus on the cases that change family life most: divorce, child custody, child support, other family law matters and guardianship. We want people facing hard decisions to be able to pick up the phone, get straight answers from a family law attorney who knows how cases move through Comal County courts, and handle as much as possible without taking time off work.
A Family Law Firm Focused on New Braunfels and Comal County
New Braunfels has changed a lot in recent years. New neighborhoods have spread along the I-35 corridor, more families commute to San Antonio or Austin, and military families from Joint Base San Antonio call the area home. What has not changed is that family cases are still decided locally, by local judges, with local clerks and local expectations.
We have handled family cases in Comal County and the surrounding counties for more than a decade. In that time, we have learned the practical details that matter to clients: which county a New Braunfels address belongs in when it sits near the Guadalupe County line, how long it can take to get on a busy docket, and what judges in this region generally expect to see from parents and spouses. We serve clients in Comal, Guadalupe, Hays and Kendall counties, including Canyon Lake, Bulverde, Spring Branch, Seguin, Schertz, San Marcos and Boerne.
What We Focus On
We concentrate on family law and guardianship rather than trying to be everything to everyone. That focus lets us keep up with changes in the Texas Family Code and Estates Code that affect our clients.
- Divorce, from simple agreed cases to contested divorces involving businesses, retirement accounts and real estate. See our divorce section.
- Child custody, including conservatorship, possession schedules, modifications and enforcement. See child custody.
- Child support, including guideline calculations, modifications and arrears. See child support.
- Other family law, such as adoption, paternity, protective orders, CPS cases, name changes and post-divorce issues. See family law.
- Guardianship for adults who can no longer manage their own affairs and for minors, along with less restrictive alternatives. See guardianship.
How We Work With Clients
Family cases are personal. People who call us are often worried about their children, their home or their finances, and many have never hired a lawyer before. We try to make the process easier to live through.
We start with a free consultation
Your first conversation with us is free, by phone, video or in person. We listen to what is happening, explain how Texas law applies, and outline realistic options. If you do not need a lawyer, or if another approach makes more sense, we will tell you.
We explain costs up front
Where the scope of a case is predictable, such as many uncontested divorces, we offer flat fees so you know the cost in advance. For contested matters, we explain how retainers and hourly billing work before you sign anything. Our fees page goes into more detail.
We keep you informed
You should not have to guess where your case stands. We explain each step before it happens, return calls and messages, and give you copies of what is filed. When something does not go as planned, we tell you plainly.
We look for workable solutions
Many family cases resolve through agreement or mediation, which can save money and spare children some conflict. When agreement is not possible, or when safety is at risk, we prepare to present your case in court.
We speak Spanish
Se habla español. Clients who are more comfortable in Spanish can talk with us in Spanish from the first call. Visit our Spanish page for more.
What to Expect When You Call
When you call (830) 302-4071, we will ask a few questions about your situation and schedule a consultation at a time that works for you. It helps to have any court papers you have received, a rough timeline of events, and a list of questions. If you have been served with a lawsuit or a protective order application, mention that right away, since deadlines may be running.
Responsible Attorney
The responsible attorney for New Braunfels Family Law is Jesus Lopez, who is licensed to practice law in Texas. He has more than a decade of family-law practice in Comal County and the surrounding counties.
Our Commitments
We cannot promise any particular result, and no honest lawyer can. What we can promise is that we will:
- Tell you the truth about the strengths and weaknesses of your case.
- Respect your time and your budget.
- Keep your information confidential.
- Treat the other side and the court with professionalism, even when emotions run high.
- Keep your children’s well-being in view.
