Charles Atty Philips at Law

Divorce
The Attorneys of Philips & Epperson Attorneys, L.P. have tried a range of cases during the firm’s existence: from DWI’s to capital murder, agreed divorces to hotly contested divorce and child custody matters, estate planning to contested probate issues, county court cases to multi-million dollar district court civil suits.
Child Support
Child support is an obligatory monthly payment made by the parent without custody of the child. Child support payments are handled through the Texas Attorney General’s office. Any unofficial, undocumented, or informal payments not made through the AG’s office do not count towards the child support obligor’s payments.
Child Custody and Visitation
Under Texas law, what people generally think of as “child custody” is actually a combination of legal concepts: conservatorship and possession and access, which are very closely related. The best interest of the child is the governing standard for decisions of conservatorship, possession, and access. Child custody orders may be later modified by the court upon a showing of a significant change in circumstances by either parent.
Adoption
Paternity
Guardianship
Although “estate planning” brings to mind planning for events after your death, it also includes planning for events that might happen during your lifetime. One important document that is a vital part of an estate plan and has to do with lifetime events is the power of attorney. This is also sometimes known as a general power of attorney or a statutory durable power of attorney. Basically, this type of power of attorney allows you to name an agent to act on your behalf in financial matters or real estate transactions if you are unable to do so. For an incapacitated person (ex. someone who is suffering from dementia) a valid power of attorney may be an acceptable, much less expensive alternative to a full-blown guardianship.
Spousal Support
If the terms of the divorce are agreed by both spouses, the judge may enter a decree in accordance with the divorcing spouses’ agreement. If there are any contested issues in the divorce, these issues must be resolved by the parties (often at mediation) or they may be tried to a judge or jury. Issues that must be resolved by agreement or by a trial include: property division, debt division, spousal support, and any issues involved if the divorcing couple has children, such as conservatorship as well as possession and access.

Criminal Defense
The laws governing expungement (also called “expunction”) and non-disclosure are can be very confusing. If you believe your record may be eligible for expungement, you need to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney to discuss your options.
DUI/DWI
Sex Crimes
Many juvenile justice records (excepting adjudications of guilty for a sex offense or gang-related offense) are typically sealed and restricted from access by anyone but a criminal justice agency.
Theft
Misdemeanors
Drug Crimes
Murder
Restraining Order
The first thing to know is that divorces inevitably take time. Texas law requires a 60-day waiting period starting with the initial filing of the petition until the entering of the divorce decree that finalizes the divorce. During this time, the spouses can prepare for the divorce by identifying all property and debts that must be divided by the court and trying to determine a schedule for child custody, if they have children. The parties should also enter into temporary orders that will control access to property and set temporary child custody and support arrangements. The court may also have to enter a temporary restraining order to prevent one spouse from accessing property or spending money if waste or fraud is likely to be an issue.
Kidnapping

Business and Corporate Law

Corporate Law
One of the most important aspects of forming a new business is establishing the relationship between each of the owners of the business. Some owners decide to share the business interests equally and bear equal responsible for capital contribution, business debt, management duties, etc. In many other cases, people starting a business want a different setup. It is critical, then, that entrepreneurs starting a new business seek the advice of knowledgeable corporate attorneys not only in filing the appropriate formation documents with the Texas Secretary of State but also in drafting the agreement between the owners—whether that is a partnership agreement, a company agreement between members of a limited liability company, or a shareholder agreement.

Estate Planning
Talking to an estate planning attorney is something that most people tend to put off again and again. And it’s easy to understand why. It can be uncomfortable, to say the least, to discuss what will happen after your death. No one really looks forward to it, but like getting regular dental check-ups and doing your taxes, setting up an estate plan is necessary and beneficial. And unlike the other examples, you do not have to do it every year.
Wills
The most important document in most people’s estate plan is the last will and testament, usually referred to simply as the will. The will is the document in which you state what should happen to your property after you pass away. Do you want everything go to your spouse, your parents, your children, or be split amongst relatives and/or close friends? Perhaps you would like to leave some or all of your property to a charity that is close to your heart. Having a valid will is the only way to ensure that your wishes are known and followed.
Power of Attorney
The statutory durable power of attorney covers most situations, but it does not address healthcare. That is why there is another power of attorney for medical decisions. This document, also called a medical power of attorney, allows you to designate an agent to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to do so for yourself. It is important to understand that this power of attorney does not give your agent the power to make life or death decisions, such as removal of life support. For that, you need an advance directive to physicians and family surrogates, commonly known as a living will.
Probate
In addition to disposing of your property, your will can also give instructions about how the probate of your estate is to be handled. In Texas, people who make a will (referred to in legal terminology as “testators”) can appoint a trusted person, whether that person is a spouse, sibling, friend, etc., to act independently in administering the estate. This power is one of the reasons that Texas estate and probate law allows for families of decedents to save a lot of time and money in administering a deceased loved one’s estate. Probate without a will in Texas is certainly possible, but it generally involves a much higher up-front cost to the survivors of the deceased person.

Foreclosure
One such method is to seek a writ of execution to authorize the sheriff or constable to levy upon the debtor’s non-exempt property and sell it in a foreclosure sale. Another method is to obtain a writ of garnishment. Sometimes a court will appoint a receiver or enter a turnover order.
