Houston Family Law · Harris & Fort Bend Counties
Houston · Harris County
From Westchase to the Heights, Bellaire to Clear Lake, Houston families come to NKH Law Firm with the same question: what happens next? Narmeen K. Hussein handles divorce, custody, support and mediation with a counselor's ear and an advocate's voice.
The short answer
A Houston family law attorney guides clients through divorce, custody, child support, mediation and related matters in Harris County courts. The work includes filing, temporary orders, discovery, negotiation, mediation and trial — with attention to the children, the home and the family's financial future.
01
Harris County family law cases are generally filed in the district courts that handle family matters in downtown Houston. The assigned court depends on the case and filing. Narmeen explains the process, prepares clients for hearings and mediation, and coordinates remote appearances when the court allows.
02
No. Texas requires either spouse to be a Texas resident for six months and a resident of the filing county for 90 days before filing. Clients can meet by phone or video. The firm regularly represents people moving into or out of Houston, and people with cases in Harris, Fort Bend and nearby counties.
03
With structure. Narmeen combines family law experience with a Licensed Professional Counselor background. That means clear boundaries, documented communication, realistic safety planning and a litigation strategy that does not mistake aggression for advocacy. When settlement is possible, she negotiates; when it is not, she prepares for trial.
04
The consultation is $150 for 30 minutes by phone or video. The office confirms the appointment and completes a conflict check first. Uncontested divorce fees are quoted flat and in writing after the scope is reviewed. Contested matters are handled hourly or on a hybrid arrangement.
05
Yes. Narmeen is fluent in English and Arabic and can communicate directly with Arabic-speaking clients, opposing counsel and mediators. Language barriers can affect negotiations, school communications and court expectations; addressing them early keeps the process clearer for everyone.
06
The office is in Westchase near the Energy Corridor. Clients come from Memorial, the Heights, Bellaire, Meyerland, Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, Clear Lake and across Harris and Fort Bend counties. Most consultations are by phone or video, with in-person meetings by appointment.
Houston communities served
A Texas court cannot grant a divorce before the 60th day after the petition is filed. The 60 days is a minimum, not a deadline. Agreed cases can sometimes finish soon after; contested custody or property cases often take longer.
No. Texas divides community property in a manner that is just and right, which is not automatically equal. Separate property is confirmed to its owner. The court considers the parties' circumstances, the children and the nature of the assets.
Texas guidelines use percentages of monthly net resources — 20% for one child, 25% for two, up to 40% for five — applied up to the statutory cap, currently $11,700 per month as of September 1, 2025. Health insurance and work-related childcare are added separately.
Yes, when both spouses agree on the terms and the case is suitable. The firm reviews the paperwork, confirms the scope and quotes a flat fee in writing. Court filing fees and other costs are separate unless stated otherwise.
Yes. Consultations are available by phone or video, and many routine meetings can be handled remotely. In-person meetings are by appointment at the Westchase office.
