We educate both individuals and families about their options. Our legal team will help you evaluate your objectives and work to resolve the legal issues with your best interests in mind no matter how complex the situation might be.

Adoptions

Adoption has always been an opportunity for families to grow, but there are many legal parameters to completing the adoption which can lead to a lot of unnecessary stress and even stop the process altogether. Working with an experienced adoption attorney is important. The laws governing the adoption process are not simple and pose many restrictions on what attorneys and prospective adoptive parents can do. This is especially true in interstate adoptions where there are potentially two different sets of state laws that may conflict with each other. If the wrong legal documents are used or if state or federal statutes are violated, the adoption could be challenged at a later date or a court may refuse to finalize the adoption.

At Cuccia Wilson, we have vast experience with procedures and laws surrounding adoptions. We ensure you understand adoption requirements and feel prepared for the process of independent, stepparent, relative, or international adoptions, as well as legal issues involved in adopting from an agency.

Asset Protection

Asset protection is nothing other than the use of legal tools for the preservation and accumulation of wealth. In essence, asset protection planning involves the mitigation of risk and careful examination of all client exposure. When implemented by a knowledgeable and experienced attorney, asset protection is a wonderful legal tool that can protect you from future risks that you may not have considered. Cuccia Wilson provides private counsel to clients regarding the instruments and techniques of asset protection and privacy planning. There are numerous methods available to assist you in protecting your assets. Cuccia Wilson’s services include:

  • Formation and maintenance of various legal vehicles
  • Tax planning and
  • Estate planning
  • Establishing goals and objectives of individual clients.

Child Support

When dealing with the finances of raising children, it is never cut and dried. The attorneys at Cuccia Wilson are experts in negotiating child support payments in any situation. Our lawyers are experienced with collecting past due support, defense of county child support enforcement actions, and other arrearage issues.

Custody

At Cuccia Wilson, we care for your family just like we care for our own families. This means that in every child custody case child support, parenting time, and custodial arrangement is determined based on what is best for the child or children involved.

Your child custody lawyer will advocate for your rights in mediation and fight for your interests at trial should that become necessary. You can trust that Cuccia Wilson protects your interests and the interests of the children by working to determine parental rights and resolve all issues involving child custody including legal custody, physical custody, visitation/parenting time, child support, and any modifications made after trial.

Division of Estate

Dividing assets during a divorce can be very complex and challenging. It’s a process that requires an attorney with a unique skillset honed through extensive experience. At Cuccia Wilson, we have exactly that. Cuccia Wilson divorce attorneys have knowledge of accounting, asset valuation, tax issues, and other financial matters. Having Cuccia Wilson in your corner means you have special access to attorneys who understand how the judges view different types of assets. When it comes to the division of an estate, our asset valuation and division lawyers have handled divorce cases with assets ranging from very modest holdings to hundreds of millions of dollars.

Divorce

No one chooses to divorce easily. Every individual going through a divorce has a unique set of needs and priorities. Cuccia Wilson is committed to addressing your needs while thoroughly and assertively protecting your interests. We counsel clients to resolve their cases in ways to minimize the emotional impact common to divorce.

We work hard to protect your parental rights, property interests, and your sense of stability throughout the process. We are committed to doing whatever is necessary to help you and your children achieve the best possible outcome in an otherwise difficult situation.

Enforcement

Post-divorce parenting is no less challenging than it is in marriage. Two people never agree on everything. Unfortunately, circumstances may arise when parents do not meet their obligations. Failure to pay child support can leave you feeling afraid about how you’ll continue to provide for your family’s needs. Cuccia Wilson’s child support attorneys work with clients who are not receiving the child support they are entitled to. We help you collect the child support the court determined you should have.

Child Support Modifications

Children’s needs change over time. Things like changes in a parent’s income, changes in the need for or cost of childcare or other major financial changes may justify a reexamination of child support. Knowing what is best for your child or children evolves as your child grows. When you need continued support navigating the legal elements of financial agreements with a co-parent, Cuccia Wilson has extensive experience requesting modifications to child support and custody orders.

Paternity

Because no situation is the same, you may find yourself needing to establish paternity. Proving paternity is much easier than you may think thanks to advancements in science. DNA fingerprinting is a technological advancement that establishes paternity with a 99 percent probability. Cuccia Wilson’s attorneys are experienced and knowledgeable in the intricate parts of establishing paternity and the resulting proceedings such as child support payments and parenting time issues if paternity is established.

Prenuptial Agreements

There are several reasons that marrying couples choose to negotiate a prenuptial agreement. Having children of your own that are not from the relationship. Perhaps you have large assets that need to be protected. Or you are a member of a family-owned business. Whatever your unique situation is, it’s important to give yourself peace of mind as you enter into marriage. If you’re concerned about the possibility of divorce down the road, premarital agreements or “prenups” are a perfectly reasonable response.

The area of law dealing with family relations is a matter of great concern to our Cleburne lawyers at Cuccia Wilson. Our attorneys will work with you to ensure that you understand every part of the process of family law in Johnson County and making sure you have the best possible result from a difficult situation.
