Since 1981, The Law Offices of Michael P. Von Blon  in Houston, Texas, has focused its practice on family law, with an emphasis  in divorce, child custody, child relocation and grandparent custody/visitation rights. Michael P. Von Blon  has been a Board Certified Family Law Specialist since 1991, and  a Fellow in the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.. In addition to divorce, Von Blon & Associates focuses on child custody disputes, negotiating and changing visitation rights, child support modifications and child relocation. We have had success advocating for grandparent custody and for a custodial parent's ability to move out of state or out of the country, despite a divorce decree prohibiting relocation.. We firmly believe in amicably negotiating divorce agreements whenever possible. When spouses and their lawyers can clearly and calmly communicate each party's needs and wants, the divorce process may conclude at reduced expense and without creating additional conflict in relationships. In some situations, however, amicable negotiation is impossible. No matter the reason behind a hotly contested divorce, we stand ready to fight for our clients' desired outcome with all the strength of our legal knowledge and years of experience in the Texas courts. We prepare you for the courtroom, allowing you to protect what matters most to you.
