The Role of Transparency in Effective Legal Representation

 

If you have an attorney representing you in a case, it’s crucial to maintain open and honest communication with them. Concealing information from your legal representative could potentially result in disastrous consequences.

 

It’s essential for your attorney to be fully aware of all the facts and events pertaining to your case to advocate for your rights effectively. This may include matters such as property rights or the rights of your children.

 

Being forthcoming with your attorney enables them to understand the situation comprehensively, allowing them to tailor their approach to represent your interests best. In doing so, you can rest assured that your attorney will be able to provide you with the legal guidance and representation you need to achieve a positive outcome.

 

Remember, your attorney is there to assist you, so don’t hesitate to provide them with any information that could impact your case.

 

 

The Texas Family Code: Key Statutes and Their Implications

 

In the context of family law cases, transparency is particularly important when dealing with matters governed by the Texas Family Code. This body of law addresses issues such as child custody, child support, and property division in divorce proceedings. For example, according to Texas Family Code §153.002, the “best interest of the child” is the primary consideration in determining issues of conservatorship and possession of a child. Being transparent with your attorney about your family situation allows them to better represent your interests and those of your child.

 

Similarly, transparency is essential when dealing with property division. Under Texas Family Code §7.002, Texas is a community property state, which means that most assets acquired during the marriage are subject to division between the spouses. Providing your attorney with a clear and accurate picture of your financial situation enables them to advocate for a fair and equitable division of marital assets.

 

Whether you are dealing with matters related to the Texas Family Code or other areas of law, remember that your family law firm, like Turner-Monahan PLLC is there to help you. Fostering open communication and trust in the attorney-client relationship is the key to achieving the best possible outcome in your case.
