Practice Areas

Child Custody 20%

"Custody" is the general term people use for what Texas calls "the exclusive right to determine the child's primary residence." One parent establishes the primary residence and the other parent is given a possession schedule.

20%
Divorce and Separation 20%

Texas does not recognize a legal separation, so you are married until the day the divorce is granted. I can help with all aspects of divorce from entering temporary orders to valuing and dividing assets and liabilities.

13 years

20%
Family 20%

I exclusively practice Family Law, which includes divorce, pre-nuptials, termination and adoption, child support, child custody, grandparent rights, modifications to prior orders, protective orders, etc.

20%
Child Support 12%

Texas has a guideline to establish child support, but there are arguments to deviate from that guideline. I also handle Enforcement of child support and medical support when a prior order has not been followed.

12%
Uncontested Divorce 10%

If you and your spouse have already discussed divorce and how to divide assets and liabilities and related children provisions, I can help effectuate those agreements and draft the final order along with property deeds and QDROs for retirement accts.

Adoption 9%

I can help with termination and adoption, whether that is bringing a baby home from the hospital to adopting a step-child or a child you have been caring for at least 6 months.

Marriage and Prenuptials 5%

Post and Pre nuptials can be drafted before/after your marriage to protect assets.

If a child or their parent has been abused, a protective order might be necessary.

Very competent and knowledgeable.

I hired Lauren and the Tucker Law Firm to handle my divorce. They were easy to work with, timely and knowledgeable. I had some unique aspects regarding retaining my individual intellectual property rights, and they were able to deliver on that no problem. The office staff were always friendly and ...courteous.. Patient with me at times collecting all necessary documents for them.

Highly recommend!

Lauren and her office handled both my divorce and my custody modification case. Lauren was so helpful and understanding during a very trying time in our lives. She always communicated in a timely and clear manner with me. She made sure that I understood everything and was very supportive during the ...mediation and hearings. I cannot recommend her enough. She sincerely cares about her clients and it shows.

Fabulous family law attorney

Working with Lauren was a great experience. Lauren was honest and explained everything clearly. She’s fantastic at corresponding with you in a timely manner. Lauren handled mediation and court dates as a true professional. I would recommend her to family and friends.

Most ethical honest attorney I have ever met

Lauren handled my child custody case. She was completely honest and upfront about what was possible and not possible to get in this case. She was always available when I called or had a question. I had been a police officer for 10 years and had dealt with many attorneys and let's say don't have a goo...d opinion of most of them. In fact untill I worked with Lauren I had no trust in them and bad taste in my mouth from prior contacts with attorneys . Lauren gave me faith in them well at least her . I would recommend her to anyone even if her fee was $1.000 hr she is worth it her honesty and integrity are beyond reproach. She cost me a lot less than other attorneys were asking and man did I get a deal. I have my kids safe with me . I can't recommend her enough I would give her 10 stars !!!!!
