Granville Supreme Court case established that fit parents have a fundamental 14th Amendment right to make decisions regarding the care and custody of their children. The ruling struck down an overly broad Washington state law that allowed any person to sue for visitation, asserting that the government cannot override a fit parent's choices just because a judge believes a different arrangement would be "better". While frequently cited by parental rights advocates to support autonomy and equal time, the case specifically addressed disputes between parents and third parties, such as grandparents, rather than conflicts between two fit parents.

Following a CPS investigation initiated by a mandatory school reporter and a previous restraining order involving Jim's current wife, Courtney, a December 2025 settlement resulted in the children moving to Tennessee to live with Jim full-time. This case mirrors California legal procedures, where the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) investigates similar reports via a Section 3027 report to determine if allegations are founded, which can lead to emergency custody shifts and restricted visitation.

Child support is often one of the most stressful and misunderstood aspects of a family law case. In a recent podcast episode, Abbie Laine, founding attorney of Laine Law Firm, PLLC, sat down to demystify the intricacies of the Texas child support system and how it specifically impacts families in the El Paso border community.The Basics: Who Pays and How Much?In Texas, child support is determined by which parent the court designates as the primary or custodial parent. The other parent, known as the obligor, is responsible for monthly payments.The standard percentages for calculation are:1 Child: 20% of net resources2 Children: 25% of net resources3 Children: 30% of net resourcesAbbie highlighted a critical 2026 update: the income cap for these calculations has increased to $11,700 per month in net resources. For high-income earners in El Paso, this means their obligation could be significantly higher than in previous years.The Border City Challenge: Cash Trades and Undocumented WorkersEl Paso's unique status as a border city brings specific challenges, particularly when parents work in the "cash trade." Abbie explained that enforcing support in these cases is more complex but not impossible. Her firm utilizes tax returns, bank statements, and lifestyle audits to prove income. Furthermore, if a parent refuses to work, the court may find them "intentionally underemployed," presuming an income of at least minimum wage for support calculations.The Trap of Direct PaymentsOne of the most valuable warnings Abbie shared involves the method of payment. Many parents mistakenly believe that paying via Cash App, Venmo, or physical cash is sufficient because it leaves a digital trail.However, without an official record through the Attorney General's Child Support Division, a parent can deny receiving the funds, leading to costly enforcement actions. Abbie strongly advises all parents to pay through the local Attorney General's office—such as the location on Hawkins Blvd—to ensure every cent is tracked and credited.Consequences of Non-Payment: It Never Goes AwayUnlike standard consumer debt, child support is a legal obligation that cannot be discharged. If you fall behind, you face severe consequences, including:Jail Time: Since it isn't considered "debt" by the Texas legislature, you can be incarcerated for non-payment.Life-Long Accrual: Support debt never expires. It continues to accrue interest and can even be collected from your estate after death.When Life Changes: The Need for ModificationIf you lose your job, Abbie's advice is clear: file for a modification immediately. You cannot retroactively reduce your debt; the obligation only changes once a new court order is signed. Generally, you can request a modification every three years, though a "material and substantial change" in income or circumstances can allow for a review much sooner.Beyond the Check: Medical Support and 50/50 CustodyChild support often includes an "umbrella" of medical support, covering expenses like health insurance and even braces. Even in 50/50 custody arrangements, a parent making significantly more may still be ordered to pay "offset" support to ensure the child enjoys a consistent standard of living in both homes.Protect Your Family's FutureWhether you need an uncontested divorce or a fierce child custody attorney, understanding the "whole picture"—including conservatorship and visitation—is essential before you file.

Exploring Child Custody and Divorce in El Paso: Essential Insights from Abbie LaineDivorce is more than just a legal procedure; it is a life-altering transition that requires both legal precision and emotional resilience. In this podcast episode, Abbie Laine, the founding attorney of Laine Law Firm, PLLC, provides a comprehensive look at the realities of filing for divorce in El Paso, Texas. From common legal pitfalls to the intricacies of community property.The Dual Role of a Family LawyerAbbie begins by explaining why she was drawn to family law. Unlike other legal fields, being a divorce lawyer often involves a significant counseling component. While attorneys aren't therapists, the personal nature of divorce means that a lawyer must be prepared to help clients navigate the heavy emotional burden that comes with ending a marriage. This empathetic approach is central to the representation provided at Laine Law Firm.Understanding Texas "No-Fault" DivorceOne of the most frequent questions Abbie receives is about Texas being a "no-fault" divorce state. In the past, Texas required specific proof of "fault," such as infidelity, to grant a divorce. Today, the law has evolved to allow for "insupportability." This means you can seek a divorce simply because the marriage is no longer working—you don't need to prove your spouse did something wrong to be granted a decree.Timelines and the 60-Day RuleIf you are looking for a quick resolution, the absolute minimum time for a divorce in Texas is 60 days. However, this timeline only applies to an uncontested divorce, where both parties agree on every single term, from asset division to child custody. If even one issue is disputed, the case becomes a contested divorce, which typically takes six months to a year to resolve in the El Paso courts.Avoid These Common Divorce MistakesAbbie warns that certain behaviors during litigation can severely damage your case. The top three mistakes she sees are:Hiding Assets: Attempting to conceal property or bank accounts often backfires. Judges may award the other spouse a larger portion of the estate as a punitive measure for fraud.Social Media Missteps: Many believe their posts are protected by "freedom of speech," but in court, photos of partying or spending can be used as evidence of parental unfitness or undisclosed income.Withholding Children: Using children as leverage by refusing visitation makes a parent look unstable to a judge and can lead to unfavorable custody rulings.Property, Debt, and the Family HomeAs a community property state, Texas law presumes that anything acquired during the marriage belongs to both spouses. This includes salaries and retirement contributions made during the marriage, even if an account is in only one name. The only way to protect these earnings as separate property is through a prenuptial agreement.When it comes to the family home, Abbie outlines two paths: one spouse buys the other out by paying 50% of the accrued equity, or the house is sold and the proceeds are split. Debt, including credit cards and car loans, is also generally divided 50/50, though a judge may assign more debt to a higher-earning spouse.Post-Divorce LogisticsThe legal work doesn't end when the judge signs the decree. Abbie emphasizes the importance of "tying up loose ends," such as filing a Special Warranty Deed to transfer home titles or obtaining a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) to divide retirement accounts.Contact: Laine Law Firm, PLLCAddress: 700 N Stanton St #200, El Paso, TX 79902Phone: 915-200-4316Website: https://lainelawfirm.com

Podcast Summary: Family Law, Divorce & Child Custody in El Paso with Attorney Abbie LaineIn this podcast episode, we sit down with Attorney Abbie Laine of Laine Law Firm, PLLC, a trusted family law attorney in El Paso, Texas, to discuss the real-world issues families face when dealing with divorce, child custody, child support, and enforcement of court orders. As a lifelong El Paso resident who returned home to serve the community, Abbie Laine shares practical insight into how the Texas family law system works and what clients should expect when they hire a divorce lawyer or child custody attorney in El Paso.The conversation begins with an overview of family law in Texas, including contested and uncontested divorces, custody disputes, child support calculations, spousal support, protective orders, and post-divorce modifications. Abbie explains that family law cases in El Paso are handled under the Texas Family Code and assigned to one of several local family courts, with hearings sometimes conducted in person and sometimes via Zoom depending on the judge.A major focus of the episode is divorce in El Paso, TX. Abbie outlines the required 60-day waiting period for divorce in Texas and explains how uncontested divorces can be completed relatively quickly when both parties agree on property division and parenting arrangements. For contested divorces involving children or disputed assets, she notes that cases may take several months or longer. She also emphasizes the importance of hiring an experienced El Paso divorce attorney early in the process, warning that representing yourself (“pro se”) can lead to costly mistakes that are difficult to fix later.The podcast also covers child support in Texas, including how support is calculated using statutory guidelines based on a percentage of income, as well as how support can be offset in shared custody situations. Abbie discusses child custody laws in El Paso, explaining that courts make custody decisions based on the best interest of the child, often seeking to maintain stability and continuity in a child's life whenever possible. This is where having a knowledgeable child custody lawyer in El Paso can play a critical role in presenting a parent's case effectively.Finally, the episode addresses enforcement of court orders, including what parents can do when child support is not paid or visitation orders are violated. Abbie explains how enforcement actions in El Paso County can include remedies such as wage garnishment and contempt proceedings, helping parents protect their legal rights and ensure court orders are followed.Overall, this podcast provides valuable insight for anyone facing divorce, child custody disputes, child support issues, or family law enforcement matters in El Paso, Texas. Laine Law Firm, PLLC remains committed to guiding local families through difficult legal situations with professionalism, communication, and strong advocacy.Laine Law Firm, PLLCAddress: 700 N Stanton St #200, El Paso, TX 79902Phone: 915-200-4316Website: https://lainelawfirm.com/

He notes that while court orders often specify how tax credits should be divided between parents, the IRS primarily determines eligibility based on the number of overnights each parent spends with the children. Real emphasizes that following the court order is crucial to avoid sanctions, especially since electronic filing conflicts—where one parent files first—can trigger reviews that delay both parents' tax returns.    

Welcome to A Year and a Day. I'm Jaime Davis, board-certified family law attorney at Gailor Hunt. In this episode, I sit down with Autumn Dubois, founder and principal agent of Dubois Property Group, to discuss the strategic management of one of your most significant financial assets during a divorce: the family home.Autumn shares her expertise on navigating the intersection of real estate and divorce, explaining why she views her role as "Switzerland"—a neutral third party dedicated to protecting the sale regardless of the conflict between spouses. We explore the importance of a tight listing strategy, why having a hard date in a separation agreement is the "absolute best scenario" for preventing delays, and how to manage the logistical hurdles of repairs and staging when homeowners are living separately.Together, we weigh the pros and cons of when one party wants to stay in the family home and discuss the financial "red flags" that might make selling a better move than a buyout, the complexities of loan assumptions in today's market, and transitioning into a "new chapter" purchase. Autumn also provides a checklist for coordinating with divorce attorneys to ensure closing disclosures and proceed directives align with legal requirements, helping you maximize your profit and move forward with clarity.Need help from Autumn?

About This Episode: The legal battle between NBA star Anthony Edwards and influencer Aisha (Ayesha) Howard centers on a jurisdictional dispute over their daughter, Baby Aubrey, who was born in October 2024. A California judge ruled in early 2025 that the state lacked jurisdiction over child support, a major win for Edwards as it moved the financial proceedings to Georgia, where support caps are generally lower than in California. Despite being granted sole custody, Howard has allegedly delayed signing the final agreement due to new demands, including a public apology on all of Edwards' social media platforms and $500,000 in damages for reputational and financial harm. Edwards, who has not met his daughter and is not seeking visitation, has accused Howard of exploiting the litigation and their child for social media content. Howard has since appealed the jurisdictional ruling, accusing Edwards of misleading the court about his business ties to California.

The legal battle involves requests for full physical custody and child support, and has been marked by social media conflict, including allegations from Ah-Yone that Nacua was a "narcissist". While the child, Kingston, was born in October 2025 with Nacua present, the legal case remains complex due to Nacua's formal request for a DNA test and recent controversial comments he made on a live stream advising against marriage.  

Welcome to A Year and a Day. I'm Jaime Davis, board-certified family law attorney at Gailor Hunt. In this episode, I'm talking with Dr. Lee Baucom, a veteran relationship coach, therapist, and creator of the Save the Marriage System.Lee shares his perspective as a "recovering marriage therapist," explaining why traditional marriage counseling often fails by focusing on communication—the "plumbing"—rather than the underlying connection. He breaks down how marriages often hit a "pause button" during busy seasons of life, leading to a slow cascade of disconnection that mirrors the symptoms people mistake for the "reasons" for divorce.Together, we explore the concept of "The We"—viewing the marriage as a third entity or a team—and how this mindset shift can resolve conflicts over money, parenting, in-laws, and more. Lee reveals how one partner can unilaterally change the "dance" of a relationship to invite restoration, even when the other is emotionally withdrawn or "quietly quitting" the marriage. Whether you are looking to save your partnership or create a better  co-parenting relationship, Lee provides a roadmap for moving from high-conflict combat to connection.Need help from Lee?

About This Episode: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and State Senator Angela Paxton initially succeeded in having their divorce case file sealed by a judge in Collin County, arguing it was a private family matter. However, a coalition of media outlets intervened, citing Rule 76a of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, which presumes court records are open to the public unless a "specific, serious, and substantial interest" outweighs the public's right to know. Faced with a high likelihood of losing in court due to the public interest in the Attorney General's conduct and finances, the Paxtons preemptively agreed to unseal the records. The released documents revealed that Angela Paxton is seeking a disproportionate share of their estate, alleging adultery as grounds for the divorce.

About This Episode: What happens when state law turns a hospital into a "biological incubator"? This episode explores the harrowing story of Adriana Smith, a 30-year-old nurse who was declared brain-dead while nine weeks pregnant. Despite her family's wishes, Georgia's "Life Act" led the hospital to keep her on mechanical life support for 116 days to ensure the delivery of her son, Baby Chance. The legal nightmare didn't end there; because Adriana and the father, Adrian Harden, were not married, he was forced to sue the state just to be recognized as a legal parent. We dive into the intersection of medical ethics, Georgia's heartbeat laws, and the complex battle for father's rights in the wake of tragedy.

We explore why women often stay in unhappy relationships for an average of four years before making a move, frequently choosing their children's or spouse's needs above their own. Kate challenges the cultural myth that "staying for the kids" is always the best path, noting that high-conflict or deeply unhappy households can create a toxic blueprint for a child's future relationships.Together, we discuss how to identify different forms of abuse—including emotional, financial, and spiritual—and the "frog in boiling water" syndrome that leaves many women desensitized to their own unhappiness. Kate provides a roadmap for self-actualization, explaining how to differentiate your inner guide from your inner critic and why personal development is the ultimate tool for a brighter future, whether that involves saving the marriage through qualified therapy or "saving the divorce" through healthy communication.Need help from Kate?

Have you felt paralyzed by the thought of meeting a divorce lawyer, fearing that stepping into the office makes the end of your marriage a done deal? What if that first meeting isn't about starting a fight, but about finally gaining the clarity and game plan you need to move forward?This week on A Year and a Day, Jaime Davis sits down with her colleague Grace Massarelli, a family law attorney at Gailor Hunt who guides clients through the high-anxiety early stages of separation. Grace pulls back the curtain on the initial consultation, transforming it from a scary "point of no return" into an empowering information-gathering session.They discuss the emotional intelligence required to navigate this transition and why the most important person in the room is actually you—the captain of your own goals.Tune in for:Why the initial consultation is the first page of your next chapter and how it can set the tone for your entire case.Normalizing the "emotional soup" of anxiety, guilt, and anger—and why authenticity is more important than a strong face in the lawyer's office.The "Exposure Check": Why your attorney needs to know the worst true thing the other side can say about you.The difference between legal options and non-legal alternatives (and why seeing a lawyer doesn't always mean a lawsuit).Why North Carolina's specific "Year and a Day" separation requirement makes this process a marathon, not a sprint.How to determine if a lawyer is a good fit for your personality and whether their approach aligns with your desired level of conflict.Practical tips on what to bring (contracts and prenups) and what to leave at home (thousands of text messages and five years of bank statements).The "Choose Your Own Adventure" nature of legal fees and how to communicate your budget to stay in control of the costs.Grace's three takeaways for anyone terrified to take the first step: It's okay to feel, information is power, and you will be okay.About Grace Massarelli:Grace Massarelli is a family law attorney at Gailor Hunt in North Carolina.

Lori's firm provides objective, hourly, and affordable financial planning, driven by the mission that finances should never dictate a life-altering decision.They discuss the emotional roots of financial fear, the practical steps to gain control, and the critical elements of building a secure, sustainable life post-divorce.Tune in for:Why the question "Can I survive?" is often the last piece of the puzzle people need answered before deciding to leave a marriage.Lori's top two immediate steps for the "non-moneyed spouse" upon separation: establishing individual credit and gathering data on all accounts.Why the marital house is often "the elephant in the room" and why, from a financial standpoint, selling it is typically the cleaner and less stressful option.The financial pitfalls of nesting and why this arrangement is generally detrimental to long-term financial stability.Lori's simple spending tracker model that focuses only on two main areas—groceries and discretionary spending—to help people consistently spend less than they earn.The advantage of the hourly, no-commission financial planning model for divorcing individuals who need objective advice without the pressure of being sold products.The building blocks of a post-divorce financial roadmap, including cash reserves, emergency funds, and retirement savings.Lori's single most important piece of advice: The most critical thing to your finances is your happiness.About Lori Atwood:Lori Atwood is the founder of Fearless Finance, a firm dedicated to providing objective, hourly, and affordable financial planning.

We talked about several cases, one of them being the Taran Nolan case in Orange County, CA and how that was mishandled.     The judiciary has gone rogue long enough, and this has been an ongoing problem nationwide, destroying parental bonds with their children by judges with little to no education in psychology or child psychological abuze.

She shares practical advice on when to start coordinating holiday schedules (at least two months out), how to handle logistical roadblocks, and the critical need for flexibility.

In this episode, I unpack what it is like to be labelled a dad who “lost custody” after years of giving everything to my son. I walk through my work story, how my flexible career and time with him were framed as a weakness in court, and why that judgement left such a deep feeling of shame. From there, I talk about the choice to stop feeding resentment, to step away from online drama, and to focus instead on love, presence and long term connection.I also share one of the biggest turning points in my journey, taking my son and my partner off grid while we waited for an appeal decision, and how those days by the lake became a template for how I cope with stress as a long distance dad. I close with some simple ideas for staying connected across distance, from consistent FaceTime rituals to making small, memorable adventures when you are finally together.What you'll hear in this episode:What it actually feels like to “lose custody” and carry that labelHow my work history and time with my son were used against me in courtWhy holding on to bitterness gives your power away to the systemThe story of going off grid with my son while we waited for an appeal decisionHow nature, adventure and simple rituals help me stay grounded as a long distance dadPractical ideas for staying close through FaceTime, shared interests and small adventuresA reminder to get support, keep showing up and let your love for your child lead the way

Welcome to A Year and a Day. In this episode, board-certified family law attorney Jaime Davis talks with Thad Hollis, an expert in conflict resolution, divorce coaching, and mediation, and the founder of Better Outcomes.Thad introduces his powerful philosophy: "Conflict is inevitable. Combat is optional." He explains how someone in the middle of a painful divorce can begin to view conflict as a "gift"—an opportunity for positive change rather than a source of destruction. Thad shares his mediation and coaching techniques, emphasizing the need for clients to "find their voice" and shift their mindset from a win-lose battleground to constructive negotiation.Jaime and Thad discuss common emotional roadblocks in divorce, such as the need "to be heard," feelings of unfairness, and the prevalence of power imbalances in relationships. They conclude by focusing on the ultimate goal: being kind and future-focused to ensure the best possible outcome for the children and the co-parenting relationship.Need help from Thad?

Welcome to A Year and a Day. In this episode, Jaime Davis, a board-certified family law attorney at Gailor Hunt, focuses on helping children during family transitions by talking with Todd Sarner, founder of Transformative Parenting and a licensed psychotherapist.Todd's work is built on Attachment First Science, which centers on the child's need for security in their primary relationships. He explains how his personal experience as a child of divorce inspired his mission to help parents move from daily chaos to lasting calm.Jaime and Todd discuss why a child's behavior—such as resistance and defiance—should always be viewed as symptoms of underlying anxiety or insecurity, especially when navigating a breakup or divorce. Todd reveals why children of divorce often struggle with separation anxiety and feel unable to connect to both parents simultaneously.They explore practical strategies for parents to unite, including the concept of "bridging" to help children feel connected to the absent parent. Todd also shares why he recommends a "parent timeout" over a child timeout when emotions run high, and emphasizes that parental self-care is the most critical factor in promoting a child's well-being.Need help from Todd?
