The Texas Legislature has also set a presumed Standard Possession Order for the non-custodial parent:
Each case is unique and there may be reasons in any individual case to make it appropriate to vary from the legislative presumptions. Greg Gegenheimer will take the time to listen to you and understand your individual situation to determine whether or not it is appropriate to deviate from the guidelines. If the guidelines are not appropriate for your situation and needs, Mr. Gegenheimer is a vigorous advocate to press your claim before the Court.
If you have questions regarding your child support obligation, enforcing visitation rights, or enforcing child support, give Greg Gegenheimer a call today.
Family Law Litigation is the most personal and emotional area of law. In 31 years I have seen virtually every side of domestic disharmony that unhappy people can generate, and divorce is an unhappy and very emotional event. I take the extra time to get to know my client's personal sitution and understand his or her individual problems. I have an aggressive personality. Once my client and I have established our goals, I am single-minded in achieving those goals.
