Wendy Anne Wood

How do I begin but without saying a true miracle! I was not only fighting the war overseas for my country but also fighting a war to be in my children's lives for over 17 painful years. I needed an attorney for a Monday family court hearing, after being served late Thursday evening. It was already ...3pm on Friday, when I looked to this website and found Wendy; A blessing from God . My ex-wife had abused the court system numerous times through the years. I contacted Wendy Wood and by our conversation I began feeling hopeful and reassured to assist me so quickly. I want to express my sincere gratitude for Wendy's knowledge and caring assistances during a turbulent period representing me on a child support and custody case. Thank you Wendy!

My wife wanted a divorce. I got her to agree to a settlement without a lawyer but her friends talked her out of it. After several days my ex-wife told me she was going to talk to a lawyer. A friend recommended Ms. Wood to me. Ms. Wood immediately set up an appointment for me to discuss my situation. ...Under her advisement I filed before my ex-wife could. I told Ms. Wood that my ex-wife previously had an affair but told her I didn’t think she was involved in one currently. Ms. Wood said she very much might be and that I might check out what I could. She was right. Ms. Wood worked with me on what my legal options were to gather information, advising me what was legal and what was not. If she was not sure she would always research the question and get back to me quickly. Through phone records and other methods I gathered enough evidence so that my ex-wife finally admitted to the affair, which I got on tape. In Texas this is legal. If this affair came out, as it would in court, my ex-wife and her lover would have been greatly embarrassed. Because of Ms. Wood I received a settlement without going to trail or mediation. The settlement was significantly better than what I originally offered my ex-wife. I have custody of both of the children, a girl who is 13 and a boy who is 11, with my ex-wife paying child support. I have the house and all of our land in Burleson County (200 acres and a cabin). My ex-wife had to pay my legal costs. I am retired and receive social security. She does not receive any benefits from any of that, as well as nothing from other moneys I have. All she received was her retirement accounts and her personal property such as inherited furniture, her car and motorcycle and other things she paid for with her own money. She also will receive $40,000 from me to be paid out in 10 years at 4% interest. The equity I have in the house, land and other sources is worth well over $400,000. I feel like I got a really good deal and probably could not have gotten one that good if we went to court. Ms. Wood has advised me well in the past six months, showing concern for my children and me. She has made it very clear that it is in the best interest of the kids if I speak well of their mother and not put her down. That tends to be my nature but as one might imagine I have had to deal with a lot of justifiable anger. Her council helped me immensely. As bad as divorces are, my ex-wife and I are getting along well and the kids have survived it as well as could be expected, still loving both of their parents, which is as it should be.
