Board-Certified Family Law and Divorce Advocacy in El Paso
When facing the dissolution of a marriage or a contested custody dispute, board certification makes a profound difference in legal representation. Located on Wyoming Avenue in El Paso, Kristina Voorhies Legan provides distinguished counsel to individuals and families across the region. Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, Kristina belongs to a select group of attorneys who have demonstrated exceptional knowledge, extensive courtroom trial experience, and peer-evaluated competence. Whether you need a lawyer urgently to address an emergent custody dispute or wish to hire an attorney to navigate complex marital property division, her practice delivers authoritative, compassionate advocacy.
Complex Marital Property Division and Business Valuation
Divorces involving substantial financial estates require sophisticated legal analysis. Texas community property rules establish that all assets acquired during marriage are presumed joint unless proven separate by clear and convincing evidence. Kristina Voorhies Legan works closely with forensic accountants and valuation specialists to protect client assets during property division. Her financial divorce services include:
- Characterization, tracing, and protection of separate property and inherited wealth
- Valuation and division of privately held family businesses and professional practices
- Apportionment of retirement assets, pensions, 401(k) accounts, and qualified domestic relations orders
- Division of executive compensation packages, deferred compensation, and investment portfolios
- Real estate division involving commercial properties, ranches, and residential real estate
Military Divorce and Fort Bliss Representation
Given El Paso's deep ties to Fort Bliss, military divorce involves unique statutory considerations governed by both federal regulations and Texas state law. Kristina Voorhies Legan brings extensive experience handling cases involving active-duty service members, officers, and military spouses. She navigates the Uniformed Services Former Spouses' Protection Act (USFSPA), division of military retired pay, Survivor Benefit Plans (SBP), and Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) accounts. Her practice also crafts custody and visitation agreements that accommodate unpredictable military deployments, temporary duty assignments, and permanent change of station (PCS) orders.
Child Custody, Support, and Modifications
Protecting the well-being and developmental stability of children remains the foremost priority in family proceedings. Kristina Voorhies Legan represents mothers and fathers in establishing managing conservatorships, standard possession orders, custom visitation frameworks, and fair child support arrangements. When circumstances change substantially following a final divorce decree-such as income adjustments, parental relocation, or shifting educational needs-she guides clients through formal post-judgment modifications and enforcement actions.
