She helped me at two extremely difficult times in my life- the death of my husband and then my mother- to sort through probating their wills. I highly recommend her to anyone.- Patti H.

Ruby Bolton and the Bolton law firm really showed up for the case my wife had against her ex-husband. From her first visit at consultation to picking up the final draft, she felt like she was in good hands. At the end of all this, my wife was able to get some relief and was able to put her ex in check. We got the passport docs, got it to make it mandatory to take the kids to all their sporting events on his weekend, and his child support was reinstated.- David V.

I still have another day of trial, but I have already seen Shaunte fight and stand her ground.

Judicial Nuances in Montgomery County Family Law
The Woodlands serves as Montgomery County's primary economic hub, and family law matters here reflect the community's unique financial landscape. Local courts regularly address complex property division cases involving high-asset professionals, business owners, and substantial marital estates. One of the most critical aspects involves tracing, the detailed legal process of establishing that specific assets qualify as separate property rather than community property subject to division. When substantial wealth is at stake, the ability to conduct a thorough financial analysis and present clear evidence can make the difference between protecting and losing significant assets.
Child custody matters in Montgomery County courts are governed by Texas's "Best Interest of the Child" standard. Judges evaluate each parent's ability to provide stability, maintain a supportive home environment, and foster the child's relationship with the other parent. These determinations require careful preparation and compelling evidence of parental fitness and family dynamics.
Geographic restrictions present another significant consideration in local custody cases. Most Texas divorce decrees include domicile restrictions limiting where a parent can relocate with a child. Whether you're seeking permission to move or opposing a proposed relocation, success depends on presenting substantive evidence about the child's connections to their school, community, and existing support system. Our firm approaches these matters with thorough preparation, understanding what Montgomery County courts expect and how to build cases that meet rigorous evidentiary standards.
