Child Custody & Visitation

Helping Families and Children - San Antonio Texas Child Custody Lawyer Bill Baskette

In child custody matters, the court holds the interests of children to be most important. As a family law attorney with over 20 years of legal experience, including 9 years as a judge, I have a detailed and thorough knowledge of what is required by the court in child custody and visitation hearings. Located in San Antonio, Texas, I meet one-on-one with my clients in my office, the law office of Bill Baskette. Explaining what documentation and records are required, I identify legal options available to you and tell you what to expect from the court.

Being Prepared: What You Can do Now

Being prepared to answer questions from the court and support claims with documentation is essential if you expect a favorable hearing of your case by the court. As your child custody lawyer, I work closely with you to ensure you’re prepared to make a convincing case before the judge.

Before meeting with an attorney, preparing the following kinds of financial information for both parents (if possible) is important:

• Tax returns
• Investment information 
• Bank account statements
• Tuition costs for students
• Medical or other healthcare related costs

The Best Interests of Children

Custody and visitation decisions consider the financial health and strength of the parents involved, as well as whether either parent has a criminal conviction or arrest record. As your attorney, I help you prepare and provide the court with financial information that establishes your ability to care for your children. If necessary, my office is also prepared to use investigators to uncover behavior and information indicating an ex-spouse’s or guardian’s unfitness for custody or visitation.

Likewise, as your lawyer, I will have an in-home study conducted by Social Services in order to establish the health and fitness of your household as a good environment for your children.

It is also important to remember that if you plan on re-locating, the law requires that you go to court to have all settlements re-finalized. You can’t simply leave the state without notifying the court if you want to avoid further legal complications.
