Dallas, Texas, Family Law Attorney
Fear of facing the unknown in a divorce or any other family law situation can be very dramatic for many people. An experienced lawyer - especially one who strives toward diplomatic problem resolution - can help lessen the anxiety.
I am Dallas, Texas, family law attorney Nancy E. Ridgway. Because family law is an area of the law where people's emotions can run high, the attorney must be able to calmly and rationally sort things out. As your dedicated family law attorney, I will do all I can to smooth out a difficult time for you and make it as painless as possible. Contact me today to discuss your divorce and family law needs in a free initial consultation.
I am experienced across a broad spectrum of family law matters, including:
- Divorce
- Child custody
- Child support
- Alimony
- Property settlement
- Modifications (of existing child support and custody orders)
- Adoption (step parent; termination of parental rights)
- Contempt actions for failure to pay child support (as well as arrearage defense)
- Domestic violence
- CPS cases
Family law often involves very good people experiencing a worst-case life event. They fear losing their homes, cars, children and their security. I am a skilled advocate for my client. I have extensive bench trial experience in family law. While I do a lot of litigation, I am a collegial attorney. That is, I tend to work toward a diplomatic resolution rather than rush into court. While I will take your case to trial if we need to, Rambo tactics are not my style.
Rather, my practice is collaborative. Collaborative law is a whole different approach to family law. In a collaborative divorce, an attorney tries to keep his or her client out of court to avoid the hostility that typically arises in family law litigation. In a divorce situation where hostility remains at a low and manageable level, you can end up with a family unit that stays functional and intact.
Family law is a codified area of the law that requires much knowledge and skill. You don't want to entrust your family law case to just any lawyer, because it is not something that just any lawyer can do. Contact me, Nancy E. Ridgway, to discuss divorce or any other family law matter with a Dallas County attorney who cares.
