Divorce (Including Spousal Maintenance and Property Division)

Finding a good divorce attorney makes all the difference.

Whether we like it or not, divorce is a part of life. No one chooses to go through divorce light-heartedly. Ending a marriage is often compared to suffering the death of a loved one–it is an extremely difficult and often emotionally devastating decision to make, especially if children are involved. Sadly, sometimes taking that first step and consulting a lawyer–and arming yourself with accurate information–can be the best decision one can make, and is very often what’s best for the spouses and the children.

Celeste understands that divorces are complicated–whether it’s your first or your last.  She will help you navigate the proceedings with confidence. She can also offer you options that involve very little direct conflict or actual litigation. Often, a good divorce attorney can mean the difference between a drawn-out, needlessly negative, and expensive case and a swift, efficient, agreeable resolution that all parties can live with comfortably.

If you are thinking about (or have decided upon) divorcing your spouse, you need qualified help from an experienced attorney. Celeste King will help you navigate confidently through this tumultuous life event.

Family Law & Your Children

When it comes to divorce proceedings and/or suits that affect children of a non-marital relationship, the most important–and often helpless–party is your child or children. Strive to keep their environment as stable and stress-free as possible.  Believe it or not, this can be accomplished.

Know your rights and those of your children. Seek the advice of an attorney with experience in child custody, possession, and access cases.

Celeste King can help you determine the best course of action for your child’s future. Whether through peaceful conflict resolution or more aggressive litigation, Celeste is willing to stand up for your children and help secure the solution that’s right for them.

Child Custody and Visitation

Child Custody is one of the most misunderstood areas of the law. There are many important decisions that must be made, all of which can greatly effect your child’s future.  Don’t go through custody proceedings without an attorney that knows the system and who will stand up for your rights.

Celeste King has been practicing family law in the Brazos Valley since moving here from Houston in 2005. She has a wealth of professional experience, knowledge, and insight to share with you as you go through these difficult proceedings. For help with any Child Custody / Visitation related need, call or contact her right now. 

Custody Modifications

There are a number of reasons you may feel the need to change, revise, or clarify your most recent custody orders. Whether your current visitation arrangement is no longer workable or conditions in your life have changed significantly, Celeste King can help.

Custody modification cases can range from the very simple case to the extremely complicated one. Don’t get blind-sided by the unexpected. Contact Celeste and let her experience guide you through the custody modification process.

Child Support and Enforcement (Including Attorney General cases)

Child Support and Enforcement laws vary from state to state. Don’t waste time and money hoping things will change. Contact Celeste King for answers to any questions you may have about child support–whether you are the person responsible for paying support or the party who depends upon the support to assist you with the expenses of raising a child.  Child support obligations are serious responsibilities in Texas–ignoring this fact can lead to serious, life-changing consequences.

As with any area of family law that involves child support obligations and/or children, if you don’t seek help you may suffer major consequences should you choose not to seek out the experience and expertise of a qualified attorney that knows how to help.  Never give up hope where your children are concerned.

Don’t wait.  Don’t agonize. Don’t let your life be overtaken with worry and stress about your situation. Call or contact Celeste King right now.

Paternity

Establishing and/or contesting the identity of the father of a child can lead to a host of legal complications.

Whether you are contesting paternity or seeking parental rights, make sure you are aware of the laws of Texas regarding conservatorship, possession, and access to your child. More importantly, be aware of the legal ramifications and responsibilities the laws of Texas place upon you as a “parent” under various scenarios.  In these situations, knowledge really is power.  Now is NOT the time to compare “war stories” with your friends about the outcomes of their particular cases and act according to their “advice”.  Unless that friend or relative is a licensed attorney, chances are you are receiving inaccurate or misleading information.

Furthermore, paternity is never an isolated issue. Establishing paternity affects all of your rights with regard to conservatorship, access, and child support. Never view paternity as a simple matter. Contact Celeste King now for more information on how to successfully navigate the complex issues regarding paternity claims, contests, or issues.

CPS Cases

The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services is a government agency whose role is to ensure the safety of children and uphold child laws. When reports of child abuse, neglect, exploitation, or abandonment arise the Department may be called to conduct an investigation.

Whether you fear for the safety of a child or you feel that you have been falsely accused, contact Celeste to discuss the situation.

Nothing is more important than ensuring the rights and future of your child. Do not let the Department of Family and Protective Services intimidate you should they become involved with you or a close family member.   Call or contact Celeste King right now for more information.

Adoptions

Whether you are on the giving or receiving end, adoption can be a wonderful choice.

Adoption itself is a simple expression of selfless love for a child. It is also, however, a complicated legal matter.

As with the other areas of law pertaining to you and your child, make sure you are in the hands of a competent and experienced attorney. Celeste King understands and has significant experience with adoption law. She will guide you through the adoption process in a way that ensures legal compliance and the utmost confidentiality.

For more information about how Celeste can help you with adoption/step-parent adoption and/or termination proceedings, please call or contact us right now.

Attorney Profile

Celeste Fletcher King, Attorney at Law

Undergraduate Education

Celeste King attended the University of Alabama where enjoying football games was one of her favorite pastimes…and where she learned that Texas A&M University provided the training ground for amazing football legends, such as Paul “Bear” Bryant and Gene Stallings.  Roll Tide and Gig ‘em Ag’s!

Shortly thereafter, Celeste graduated in 1993 from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where she received her Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from the School of Social & Behavioral Sciences with a minor in Sociology.

Post-Graduate Education

Celeste will combine her professional and personal experience to ensure that you and your family are provided with the care and attentiveness that you need to get the results that you want.

In 1997, Celeste received her Juris Doctor from The Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan. While in law school, Celeste was selected from over 100 first-year law students to participate in a pre-cursor of what is now known nationally as The Innocence Project.  As part of the appellate team, (and one of only seven law students chosen), Celeste assisted nationally-known trial and appellate lawyers in the investigation, review, research, and authoring of  a brief for submission to the Illinois Supreme Court for the purpose of obtaining a new trial for a woman wrongfully condemned to death in Illinois.

By participating in such an important and monumental endeavor, where someone’s very life was at stake, Celeste learned an invaluable lesson that remains with her to this day:  “Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.”

Professional Experience

Upon graduation from law school, Celeste entered the corporate world.

She worked in human resources for both Georgia-Pacific Corporation and Dell Computer Corporation, where she specialized in Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity matters.

In 2004, Celeste decided to leave the corporate arena to practice family law in Houston, Texas, with the Law Office of C.L. Crawley, Jr., P.C. In 2005, Celeste moved to the Bryan/College Station area with her son, Fletcher, to be closer to her parents, Jim and Erin Kracht. In 2008, Celeste opened her own firm in The Howell Building in Historic Downtown Bryan and has been practicing family law in the Brazos Valley ever since.

Focus: Family Law

Celeste’s practice focuses on family law matters: divorce, child custody, adoptions, terminations, CPS cases, Attorney General cases, child support, custody modifications, and the like. Her practice serves the Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Lee, Leon, Madison, Robertson, Walker, and Washington County areas.

Celeste believes that her success in family law comes from her varied background in both her academic and professional pursuits, as well as from her experience as a wife and mother. Family Law is a complex area that requires more than just a cursory review and/or passing knowledge of the Texas Family Code. It requires respect and understanding of the intensely personal issues and emotional landmines that can, and do, arise in Family Law cases.  In fact, Celeste’s philosophy is about finding new ways for families to operate in a positive, healthy manner moving forward–not about tearing loved ones apart and creating divisions that make the past difficult to overcome…in other words, the focus in any matter involving families should not be on “winning”,  but on establishing new and positive definitions of what constitutes a “family”.
