Dedicated Family Law and Divorce Advocacy

A divorce or custody dispute marks a major life shift that requires clear legal direction to protect your financial stability and parental rights. Ratliff Law Office represents clients in all aspects of family law, including complex property division, spousal support, child custody, and child support calculations. In Texas, child custody and visitation are determined based on the best interest of the child, often involving geographic restrictions and specific medical insurance obligations. If you need to find a divorce attorney in Abilene who will protect your separate property and advocate for your parental rights, our firm offers the compassionate, trial-tested representation you need to achieve a favorable resolution.

Private Adoption, Stepparent Adoption, and CPS Defense

Growing your family through adoption is an exciting journey, but navigating Texas adoption laws requires extreme legal precision to avoid procedural delays. Tami Ratliff has decades of experience handling private and stepparent adoptions, ensuring all parental rights are legally terminated and new parental bonds are securely established. Additionally, our firm is highly experienced in Child Protective Services (CPS) casework and defense. When the safety of a child is at stake or parents are facing state intervention, we fight vigorously for the child's best interest and the preservation of parental rights. If you need to hire an adoption lawyer or require a strong defense against CPS, our team is equipped to navigate these high-stakes hearings.

Wills, Probate Administration, and Civil Services

Planning for the future is vital to ensuring your hard-earned assets are distributed according to your wishes. We assist clients with basic estate planning, including drafting a last will and testament, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. When a loved one passes away, we provide steady, court-supervised guidance through the Texas probate administration process to authenticate wills and settle estate debts. Beyond estate matters, our firm also represents clients in select civil and personal injury claims, helping victims recover compensation for injuries sustained due to negligence. If you need to find a probate attorney to settle an estate, we offer reliable and straightforward guidance.
