Chikeersha Puvvada Law Office

Divorce
More and more couples are looking to the cordial and less costly option of an uncontested divorce. If you and your spouse have already negotiated the major terms of your divorce without the assistance of attorneys, Sugar Land divorce attorney Chikeersha Puvvada can help you amicably finalize your agreement with your spouse and then cost-effectively turn your agreement into a binding and enforceable divorce decree.
Child Support
Whether a parent is married or single, Texas law requires parents to financially support their children. It is vital for all parties involved in a child support case that child support is calculated properly. The child's needs must be met while also ensuring that both parents are able to financially support the child when they have possession of the child. With extensive experience in establishing, modifying and enforcing child support obligations, child support attorney Chikeersha Puvvada can help you accurately calculate, obtain and collect an appropriate amount of child support.
Child Custody and Visitation
People and situations change. A child custody, visitation or support order that once worked in the best interests of your child may no longer do so, especially if the lives of the people involved have substantially changed since the original order was signed. Under the right circumstances, Texas law permits the modification of the terms of child custody, visitation and support in an order. Sugar Land child custody attorney Chikeersha Puvvada can help you determine whether you can or should seek modification of an order. If modification is the right course for your child, Chikeersha will strive to help you obtain a modification that better reflects everyone's current situation while still creating a healthy environment for your child.
Paternity
Premarital Agreement
There are default rules under the Texas Family Code on who owns what assets during a marriage, who is responsible for which debts during a marriage, and which assets are subject to division during a divorce. A prenuptial agreement allows a soon-to-be married couple to change those default rules.
Spousal Support
During a divorce case in Texas, a trial court can order one spouse to pay temporary spousal support to the other spouse. The obligation to pay temporary spousal support can last all the way to the end of the divorce case, and the amount of the spousal support is at the discretion of the trial court. This article explores what factors courts have considered in awarding temporary spousal support and the legal basis for temporary spousal support.
Legal Separation
There is no such thing as legal separation in Texas. That is, there is no unique legal status in Texas for a couple that is still married but no longer living together. In Texas, either you're married or you're not. However, there are options for those who want to remain married but live separately.

Misdemeanors
A temporary ex-parte protective order is issued by a family court. On the application of the victim, the family court can grant a temporary ex-parte protective order without notice to the alleged abuser if the court finds, based on the victim's application, that there is a clear and present danger of family violence. A temporary ex-parte protective order can protect the victim by prohibiting the alleged abuser from: committing family violence, communicating with the victim, going to or near the residence or place of employment of the victim, stalking the victim and/or possessing a firearm. If a residence is owned or leased by the victim or an alleged abuser who is the victim's spouse, an ex-parte protective order can also remove and exclude the alleged abuser from the residence without notice to the alleged abuser provided the victim provides a sworn affidavit and testifies at a hearing on why the alleged abuser needs to be excluded from the residence. Violation of a temporary ex-parte protective order is a criminal offense, and if convicted, the alleged abuser will face penalties for a Class A Misdemeanor (up to 1 year in jail, $4,000 fine, or both).
Assault
Restraining Order
One of the most common concerns for a party considering filing for divorce is how their spouse will react when served with the divorce papers. Will they empty the bank accounts? Will they start harassing the filing spouse? Will they keep the children from the filing parent? Temporary restraining orders (TROs) are a useful tool to protect people and property from these types of behavior. This article explains what a TRO is and discusses why and when they are needed in a divorce case.

Workers Compensation
The spouse required to pay spousal maintenance is called the "Obligor." The maximum amount of spousal support is $5,000.00 per month or 20% of the Obligor's average monthly gross income, whichever amount is less. "Gross income" means all income actually being received minus the following: (1) return of principal or capital; (2) accounts receivable; (3) benefits paid under federal public assistance programs; (4) benefits paid under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program; (5) payments for foster care of a child; (6) Department of Veterans Affairs service-connected disability compensation; (7) supplemental security income (SSI), social security benefits, and disability benefits; and (8) workers' compensation benefits.

Real Estate Litigation
After finishing law school in Austin, Texas, Chikeersha returned to New Jersey and was admitted to practice law in New Jersey. While in New Jersey, he worked at the law firm of Bernard James O'Connor, P.A, where he dealt primarily with issues involving family law, real estate law and estate planning.

Work Visas
Now that we understand the basics of how child support is calculated in Texas, let's look at the facts in R.J. v. K.J., a case out of the Fort Worth appellate court. In this case, a family with one child moved to the U.S. from Pakistan and had another child here. The father lost his work visa status. The mother had obtained a temporary work visa. After losing his job, the father started receiving money from his family in Pakistan. He had received close to $300,000.00. At the divorce trial, the father testified that this money was a loan and that the only income he received was rental income. The trial court didn't buy the father's argument. The trial court held that the father was intentionally unemployed, that he had the ability to earn $50,000.00 a year and that his net monthly resources should be $4,000.00. The father was ordered to pay $1,000.00 a month in child support.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
In 2007, Chikeersha relocated to Sugar Land, Texas, and was admitted to practice law in Texas. Soon thereafter, Chikeersha opened his own law practice. Chikeersha helped individuals with family law matters, real estate matters and estate planning during the first few years of his practice. After founding the Puvvada Law Office, PLLC, Chikeersha narrowed his focus to family law matters.
