Going through a divorce is challenging as it is. For many, however, this is not the end of the battle, as child custody-related issues will often be involved during the course of the divorce proceedings or after they are concluded. In fact, according to the 2021 Annual Statistical Report for the Texas Judiciary, 17% of all family law cases filed in the State of Texas that year concerned divorces where children were involved.
If you are looking to fight for custody or visitation rights for your child and aren’t sure where to begin, know that you are not alone. Speak with a League City child custody lawyer at the Ramos Law Group, PLLC, to discuss your options and see how we can help you move forward.

- Client Awarded Joint Custody After Protective Order Denied. Our client was accused by his wife of domestic violence during divorce proceedings in an effort to limit his access to their children. However, after taking the case to trial, our team was able to prove that the wife’s accusations were baseless, resulting in a denial of her protective order and an award of joint custody for our client.
