Legal Help with Texas Divorce, Child Custody, and Juvenile Law

Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange Family Law Attorney

In divorce, it’s inevitable that people will have hurt feelings, but those hurt feelings don’t have to translate into an expensive, lengthy, difficult divorce. Not if you don’t let them.

Divorce is a new beginning, as well as an ending. At the Macey Law Firm, we help people focus on the bigger picture and the next stage of life. Fighting every detail in court takes money: money you could be using to build your new life, money you could be using for your children. We believe the greatest value we can provide our clients is to help them understand the process of divorce and empower them to work together to reach agreements that protect their assets and provide for their children.

When you’re facing divorce and you want empowering, reasonable, cost-sensitive legal counsel, contact the Macey Law Firm.

Listening is the first step. We listen to our clients so we can understand their goals regarding property division, child custody, and child support, and the roadblocks that stand in the way of reaching their goals. Sometimes those roadblocks are emotional, sometimes they are an uncompromising former partner, sometimes they are legal.

Education about the law is an important part of preparing our clients to move forward. As a client of the Macey Law Firm, you will get a clear picture of the process, the next steps in your case, and strategies to move your case forward. We also explain the risks and the costs—financial as well as other costs—to pursuing different courses of action.

When you have a clear picture and understand the costs, then you can make a wise choice to fight your divorce case in court, or to try to reach a negotiated or mediated settlement. Attorney John Macey has represented clients in Texas divorce court for years. If your case is going to require vigorous representation, he is a capable litigator in family court, looking out for your best interest.

More frequently, we participate in mediation with our clients. Harris County courts require mediation before they will hear a divorce case in family court. Divorce mediation allows you to make the important decisions that will form your future. If you leave it up to the judge to decide, you may get what you want, you may get some of what you want, or you may get none of what you want. When you keep decisions in your own hands, you stand the best chance of having a positive outcome.

Juvenile Law

Family lawyer John Macey represents young people and parents in juvenile court. If your young person is facing charges for delinquent behavior, school problems, or minor criminal or statutory offenses, contact our Beaumont law office for vigorous and prompt defense. We’re here to protect your child’s interests, seeking reasonable responses that promote positive change.
