At Herradura Law, we understand that divorce is not just a legal process — it’s an emotional and life-changing journey. When children are involved, the stakes are even higher. Decisions about custody, support, and parental rights require compassion, clarity, and strong legal guidance.

Our role is to help parents navigate this challenging time with fairness and confidence, ensuring that every decision upholds the best interests of the child while protecting your rights as a parent.

Understanding Divorce: The Legal Foundations

Divorce legally ends a marriage, but it also affects finances, property, and family relationships. Every case is unique, yet the legal principles remain the same: equity, fairness, and the protection of family welfare.

At Herradura Law, we guide you through:

  • Filing and legal grounds for divorce or annulment

  • Property division and marital settlements

  • Spousal support or alimony arrangements

  • Parental authority and child custody concerns

Our goal is to make the process as smooth, respectful, and transparent as possible — minimizing conflict while safeguarding your rights.

Child Custody: Putting Children First

Custody is one of the most sensitive aspects of divorce. It determines who will make decisions for the child and where they will live. Courts prioritize the child’s welfare above all else, considering factors such as:

  • Emotional and physical well-being of the child

  • Stability of the home environment

  • The relationship between each parent and the child

  • Ability of each parent to provide care and support

Herradura Law helps clients pursue fair custody arrangements — whether through amicable settlement, mediation, or court proceedings — always with the child’s best interests at heart.

Types of Child Custody

Understanding the different forms of custody helps parents make informed decisions:

  • Sole Custody: One parent has full custody, with the other often granted visitation rights.

  • Joint Custody: Both parents share decision-making and responsibilities.

  • Legal Custody: The right to make major decisions about the child’s upbringing (education, healthcare, etc.).

  • Physical Custody: Determines where the child will live.

Our legal team assists in drafting custody agreements that are clear, practical, and enforceable — ensuring both parents remain integral parts of the child’s life whenever possible.

Child Support and Parental Obligations

Every parent has a legal duty to provide financial support for their child. The amount of child support is typically based on:

  • The child’s needs (education, healthcare, daily expenses)

  • Each parent’s income and financial capacity

  • The agreed or court-ordered custody arrangement

Herradura Law helps clients establish or modify fair child support agreements, ensuring that children receive the care and stability they deserve.

The Role of Mediation and Amicable Settlement

Litigation is not always the best solution. Mediation allows parents to work together respectfully, reducing emotional stress and preserving family relationships.
Our lawyers facilitate productive discussions, helping parents reach agreements that honor both legal obligations and emotional realities.
