A graduate of Baylor University and licensed by the State Bar of Texas since 1977, Betty has dedicated almost half a century to advocating for families throughout McLennan County and surrounding Central Texas communities.

Strategic Divorce and Complex Asset Division

Whether navigating an amicable dissolution or an intensely contested high-asset dispute, Denton Law Office delivers tactical representation. As experienced divorce lawyers, the firm guides clients through community property division, business valuations, real estate allocations, retirement account partitions, and spousal maintenance claims. Betty ensures that client financial contributions are recognized and protected against hidden assets or unfair settlements. The firm also assists couples with prenuptial agreements and postnuptial contracts, creating legally enforceable frameworks that protect separate property and prevent contentious future litigation.

Aggressive Child Custody and Support Advocacy

Protecting the well-being of children and preserving parental bonds is the highest priority in any family dispute. As dedicated child custody lawyers and child support lawyers, the firm manages complex conservatorship battles, possession schedules, interstate jurisdiction issues, and parental rights terminations. Betty understands that childhood arrangements require careful attention to educational, medical, and emotional needs. If you face parental alienation, an unlawful denial of court-ordered visitation, or need a lawyer urgently to file an emergency modification or temporary restraining order, Denton Law Office moves swiftly to protect your parental rights.

Compassionate Adoptions and Protective Orders

Expanding a family through legal adoption is a joyous milestone that requires exact compliance with Texas statutory procedures. Denton Law Office serves as trusted adoption lawyers, guiding stepparents, grandparents, and foster parents through private adoptions, agency adoptions, and termination of parental rights proceedings. In addition, when domestic violence or coercive control threatens client safety, Betty acts decisively to obtain protective orders and temporary injunctions, providing an immediate legal shield for vulnerable spouses and children.

Dedicated Advocacy in Personal Injury Matters

Beyond family law, Denton Law Office provides robust legal counsel for individuals harmed by careless drivers or hazardous property conditions.
