Law Offices of J Cameron Cowan

Divorce
If you are and your spouse are on amicable terms and can come to reasonable agreements on aspects of your divorce, you may be able to file for an uncontested divorce. The requirements to file include...
Child Support
Child support can be a major cause of tension in a divorce case. At my firm, the Law Offices of J. Cameron Cowan, I stand ready to assist families in their time of need and help them reach the child support arrangements that they are seeking. In the state of Texas, there are a few factors that the court will look at to determine how much child support one or both parents may owe. When you work with my firm, I can ensure that child support payments are fair yet satisfactory and that the amount will be able to provide your family with the necessary support to provide for your child.
Child Custody and Visitation
Child custody is much different in Texas than it is in other states. In Texas, legal custody is referred to as "conservatorship" and physical custody is referred to as possession of and access to a child. The courts make their decisions with the child's best interests in mind.
Adoption
Paternity
Establishing paternity is important because having legal proof of a biological father can be beneficial to an entire family. Texas Family Code governs all laws pertaining to obtaining and establishing paternity, and a petition to grant an action for determining paternity can be filed by a mother, father or court system. When paternity is established, the father will have parental rights and access to the child as well as be required to pay child support. If you need to establish paternity on a birth certificate, it is important that you work with the Law Offices of J. Cameron Cowan right away. As your Rockwall family law attorney, I can help you secure a quick resolution to your paternity case.
Premarital Agreement
Many people assume that prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are not necessary and that they should not have to draft one in order to have a successful marriage; however, these legal documents may be highly beneficial to both parties in a marriage. Obtaining a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement can help protect your assets in the event of a divorce and ensure that children receive the proper inheritance that they deserve.
Guardianship
Child Custody Issues —Setting up child custody and visitation arrangements can be even more complex for members of the military since military service usually requires deployments to other states and countries for extended periods of time. The divorcing parties will usually need to have a parenting plan that is even more detailed than most parenting plans. If the military member has sole custody of the child, certain arrangements will need to be made so that other individuals (such as family members) can retain temporary guardianship while the military parent is away.
Spousal Support
After the temporary orders have been entered, the divorcing parties might engage in discovery. In the discovery phase, depositions, request for documents and other forms to support the case may be required of you by your attorney and your spouse's lawyer. Most courts will also require that the divorcing parties attend at least one mediation session before the case can be set for trial. If the case does not get settled in mediation, the case is generally given a trial date before a court. At the trial, the judge will decide the major issues of divorce including permanent custody, visitation, child support arrangements, spousal support, property division, and any other issues that may be relevant to the case.
Annulment
While the idea of annulling a marriage seems preferable to many people, there are very specific requirements that must be met to ensure that your marriage is really not valid; otherwise, you will have to proceed with a divorce. The circumstances that allow for an annulment are as follows...

Criminal Defense
Cameron Cowan draws upon an extensive legal background when taking on all cases; for example, he spent nearly 15 years serving as a prosecutor and has also been board certified in criminal law. Beyond that, he spent nearly a decade serving as an attorney in the U.S. Army JAG Corps as a reservist.
DUI/DWI
If a police officer determines you are likely under the influence behind the wheel, they may charge you with driving while intoxicated (DWI) even if your blood alcohol level was technically under the legal limit of 0.08.
Sex Crimes
Robbery
Any taking of another person’s property by force can be grounds for a robbery charge. Robbery is an especially serious theft crime because it is implied that the crime is committed in the presence of the owner by means of force or violence.
Theft
Misdemeanors
A violent crime is a criminal offense that involves physical force or the threat of using physical force against another person. Sometimes, these cases might also involve a weapon such as a gun or a knife and may be charged as misdemeanors or felonies, which will depend on the circumstances involved.
Drug Crimes
Texas goes out of its way to harshly punish those convicted of possessing illegal substances in order to deter their use. If you or a loved one was arrested for possession, it is in your best interests to speak with a Rockwall drug crime attorney to best advise you on what to do next.
Assault
Murder
Without the representation of a criminal defense lawyer in Rockwall, you could be convicted and sentenced to severe penalties including incarceration and fines. The state of Texas recognizes the death penalty as grounds for punishment for serious offenses such as murder as well, which is why it is imperative that you contact the Law Offices of J. Cameron Cowan right away. I offer reasonable fees and free 30-minute case evaluations to clients.
Juvenile Crimes
Probation Violation
Homicide
Restraining Order
There are numerous resources throughout Rockwall and Kaufman for victims of mental, physical and sexual abuse, and cruelty is a valid ground for divorce in Texas. It is important that you get the help you need by working with the Law Offices of J. Cameron Cowan right away. At my firm, I am proud to assist local residents with getting out of dangerous domestic violence situations by helping them file for a restraining order. Although we have helped many individuals struggling with domestic violence, we understand that each situation is unique, and will make sure to treat your case as such. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation.
