For years, courts have had a lot of discretion, when it comes to the "best interest" of the child in family cases for custody determination in Texas. Litigants have to be prepare to explain to the court why it would be in the best interest of the child, to be with one parent over the other one. In most cases, it is not an easy task to do, since both parents are involved with the care of the child.

A Supreme Court of Texas case gave us some guidelines, as to what the courts may look at. In this case, the court looked at these factors: (A) the desires of the child; (B) the emotional and physical needs of the child now and in the future; (C) the emotional and physical danger to the child now and in the future; (D) the parental abilities of the individuals seeking custody; (E) the programs available to assist these individuals to promote the best interest of the child; (F) the plans for the child by these individuals or by the agency seeking custody; (G) the stability of the home or proposed placement; (H) the acts or omissions of the parent which may indicate that the existing parent-child relationship is not a proper one; and (I) any excuse for the acts or omissions of the parent. Holley v. Adams, 544 S.W.2d 367, 372 (Tex. 1976).

The court also said that: "This listing is by no means exhaustive, but does indicate a number of considerations which either have been or would appear to be pertinent." We take this list, and make it pertinent to our client's cases.

If you, or someone you know is facing a divorce, custody battle, child support issues, family issues, give us a call (210) 979-9777. Our San Antonio Lawyers have been helping families with their family legal issues successfully.

Divorce is never easy, and we understand it!

Have you ever heard the phrase...See one, Do one, Teach one? When it comes to family law and divorces in San Antonio, we understand it. Since our attorneys not only see divorces but also have lived through them, they can teach the public and more importantly, litigate one for our clients successfully.

In Texas, divorces are very common. Each divorce is very painful. To understand a divorce, an attorney must empathise with the client and know where that client is coming from. Our San Antonio Family Lawyers understand what you are going through as a divorcee, and can and will empathise with your situation.

Many times, our lawyers do not have to get involved with a divorce. If the divorce is a simple uncontested divorce, we sent our clients to one of

Would the new law apply to a divorce in Texas?

noreply@blogger.com (The Baez Law Firm, P.C.) — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 19:02:00 +0000

Many of our clients come to us because he help them get the best results on their cases, including divorces. We have protected the less fortunate in Texas, and now we will do it even during these difficult times! We have created a website for those that cannot afford legal representation on their divorces; but there is much more to do.

The new law that came into effect on September 1, 2011, will prevent many Texans from filing lawsuits, the question remains on whether it would prevent divorces from being filed; since many issues during divorce are only phantom issues.

We will keep our clients informed as well as the public at large on new case law or changes to the new law that will adversely affect the rights of Texans. Keep posted...

On the other hand, we are raising money for a great cause, and all those who are interested can donate here: https://fgb6.rapidgiving.com/frp/fundraise.aspx?pk=V8SVX34

Know your Constitutional Rights!

noreply@blogger.com (The Baez Law Firm, P.C.) — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 14:59:00 +0000

The Fourth Amendment guarantees the "right of people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures . . . ." U.S. Const. amend. IV.A sexual assault by a police officer clearly violates the security interests protected by the Fourth Amendment. Smith v. Ray, 2011 WL 317166, at *7 (4th Cir. 2011); Fontana v. Haskin, 262 F.3d 871, 878-80 (9th Cir. 2001). Thus, an allegation of sexual assault by a law enforcement officer can constitute an unreasonable seizure.

As far as the Fourteenth Amendment, the "liberty" specially protected by the Due Process Clause includes the right to bodily integrity. Washington v. Glucksberg, 521 U.S. 702, 720 (1997); Albright v. Oliver, 510 U.S. 266, 272 (1994)(the protections of substantive due process extend to the right to bodily integrity). It is apparent, from the dissenting opinion of Judge Parker in McClendon v. City of Columbia, 305 F.3d 314, 335 (5th Cir. 2002), that our circuit has recognized for several years the constitutional principle that there is a substantive due process right to be free from state-imposed violations of bodily integrity in cases involving rape and sexual harassment by police officers. Id. at 336. See Jarrell v. Pearl River County Sheriff's Dept., 2009 WL 4928295, at *3 (S.D.Miss. 2009).

Our Law Firm has been representing victims of police abuse of force in Texas. A rape (or sexual assault) by a cop, or a deputy is a violation of the victim's civil rights. Our lawyers will fight for you in court, even when it seems that the whole system will not.

We service the Texas community and we care about your legal needs! If you cannot afford to pay for a lawyer, and you are in an abusive relationship, WE can help!

Fighting for your kids, let us help you get Sole Management Conservatorship

noreply@blogger.com (The Baez Law Firm, P.C.) — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 14:12:00 +0000

In Texas, a conservator is the court-appointed custodian of the property or financial affairs of a person who is under the age of capacity or who has been declared legally incompetent. During a divorce, at least one person needs to be declared a managing conservator.

A managing conservator must be a parent, a competent adult, an authorized agency, or a licensed child-placing agency. This applies to grand parents also.

Many times, circumstances dictate for the court to appoint one of the parents a Sole Managing Conservator. Why? Because it would be in the best interest of the child pursuant Texas Family Code §153.002.

The best interest of the child shall always be the primary consideration of the court in determining the issues of conservatorship and possession of and access to the child.

Our divorce lawyers always inform our clients that a divorce is between a husband and a wife; however, many times it would be best for the child is the child was removed from a particular parent. This is when our lawyers can help.

Conservatorhip, possession and access can be complicated issues for any person going through a divorce. Let our lawyers help you and your children.

Casey Anthony has been on trial for 1st Degree Murder in an Orlando Court Room. After a fierce court battle between attorneys, evidence presented, and medical experts, the jury found her Not Guilty. As an attorney, it brings great pleasure to know that, juries, still get it right. And that innocent people can still be judged by a jury of their peers.

One thing that I need to point out was the fact that, the case has been mishandled by the media which for some reason, where creating this appearance of "guilt" even before the pronouncement of the verdict. Shame on those who did it!

Today, I am proud to be an attorney that stands for the rights of those who have been wrongfully accused. Jose Baez, an attorney in Florida, and his legal team of criminal defense attorneys did a superb job in fighting for the rights of the less fortunate and the accused. Although we are not related in any way, our congratulations go to them for a job well done! From The Baez Law Firm in San Antonio Texas, to The Baez Law Firm in Kissimmee, Florida.

Today, the Constitution wins!!!

Family member killed by police, come see us!!!!

noreply@blogger.com (The Baez Law Firm, P.C.) — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 19:25:00 +0000

Our Law Firm has been representing Texans when it comes to police brutality. We do this because (police officers) have way too much discretion, when it comes to the use of force. In essence, a police officer in Texas can do no wrong. This is based on the legal theory of "qualify immunity."

Simply put: as a matter of public policy, qualify immunity provides ample protection to ALL but the plainly incompetent or those who knowingly violate the law. This is a very tough standard to overcome in court. Which is why, you need a legal team able to formulate a way to overcome the defense of qualify immunity.

Time and time again, our San Antonio Law Firm has been successful in litigating this type of cases. Give us a call (210) 979-9777 and we will set up a free consultation with one of our attorneys.
