Experienced guidance for Houston families navigating divorce, custody, and other family law matters, from a board certified family law attorney.

Law Office of Maria Lowry – Family Attorney in Houston, Tx

Divorce and custody rarely arrive when you are ready for them. You are making decisions that will shape your finances and your children’s lives, often while you are exhausted and unsure who to trust. The work of a good family lawyer is to take that confusion off your shoulders, explain exactly how Texas law applies to your situation, and help you reach the next normal with your footing intact.

I am a Houston family law attorney, board certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, a credential held by roughly 800 of the more than 110,000 attorneys licensed in Texas. Before I practiced law, I was a teacher, so I bring particular attention to matters involving children. As a family attorney in Houston, TX who is well regarded by colleagues and opposing counsel alike, I handle the issues that upper-middle-class families face when a marriage ends or a custody arrangement has to change.

The Law Office of Maria Lowry offers family law, planning, and probate services, including:

• Divorce
• Spousal Support
• Complex Marital Property Division
• Adoptions
• Child Custody
• Child Support
• Enforcement of Child Custody or Possession
• Name Changes
• Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements
• Co-habitation Agreements
• Wills, Powers of Attorney & Advance Directives
• Probate Administration
• Elder Law

Our office represents clients throughout the Greater Houston area including Harris County, as well as the counties of Montgomery, Liberty, Chambers, Galveston, Brazoria, and Fort Bend.

I resolve most family law matters through negotiation and mediation, sparing clients the expense and strain of a contested trial where that path serves them. Texas family courts often require divorcing parties to attempt mediation before trial, and I am an effective advocate in those proceedings. When a matter does need to be tried, my board certification reflects the depth of courtroom and family law knowledge the Texas Board of Legal Specialization tests for.

In many family law matters, the work is helping people through a transition. My aim is to give you realistic advice so you can make rational decisions that address both the legal and the personal sides of what you are facing, now and going forward.
