We handle cases from initial filings and disputed hearings through agreed resolutions and requests to modify prior orders. Rebecca J. Carrillo personally oversees each case with careful preparation and attention to detail.

- Modifications: Requests to change existing divorce, support, or parenting orders.
- Additional matters: Adoption and military divorce proceedings.
Texas Conservatorship, Support, & Property Issues
Texas courts use conservatorship to describe parental rights and duties. Possession and access describe when a child spends time with each parent, concepts commonly called custody and visitation. Under the Texas Family Code, the child’s best interest is the primary consideration in conservatorship and possession decisions.
A parenting plan may address decision-making authority, possession schedules, child support, and each parent’s rights and responsibilities. A divorce may also require decisions about property division, spousal maintenance, and temporary arrangements while the case is pending.
Parties may resolve some or all issues through negotiation or mediation. If they can’t agree, the court may decide the remaining disputes based on the pleadings, evidence, and applicable law.
Navigating Bexar County Family Court Procedures
Many cases involving Converse residents proceed through Bexar County family courts. The correct venue and court, however, depend on the parties’ residences, prior orders, and the type of proceeding. County resources include civil district courts and services related to domestic relations, child support, and family violence proceedings.
Temporary orders, venue hearings, and family law protective orders can require substantial court time. Temporary orders may govern immediate concerns while a case is pending, but their scope and duration depend on the proceeding. Before recommending a course of action, we review existing orders, filing history, and current circumstances.
A Strategy Built Around Your Priorities
No single approach fits every divorce, parenting dispute, or modification. We develop a strategy based on your priorities, the other party’s position, the available evidence, and whether immediate court action may be appropriate.
We communicate directly about potential costs, legal implications, and possible outcomes. By explaining the available paths, we give you the information needed to evaluate settlement proposals, mediation, hearings, and other important decisions.
