Rafee'a S. Majeed

Attorney Rafee’a S. Majeed is the Owner and Managing Attorney of The Law Office of R.S. Majeed. I am a Texas licensed Family Law attorney representing clients in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I have been representing clients in this area for over 5 years, primarily handling divorces (contested and uncontested), child custody cases, child support cases, and modifications and enforcements of all family law cases.

One of my most key characteristics enabling me to be a successful attorney is adaptability. Because the laws are constantly changing, each and every case brings a unique set of challenges and issues and requires the ability to quickly adapt to keep up with the changes.

I have had success in obtaining desired results for my clients, but I also believe in having tough conversations with clients to ensure that their expectations are aligned with what the law will allow. I have a continuous dialogue with clients to discuss any changes in their situation as their case progresses and make necessary adjustments to their case as needed, if necessary.

I am proud to be a Texas lawyer. I work hard to provide and improve the level of service and representation given my clients.

Q. If I don't have the address to my children's dad's new address, do I have the right to refuse to hand my boys over?

December 4, 2024

A: Unless your divorce decree states that you do not have to release the children without the Father's address, you are required to follow the divorce decree and surrender to the children to Father at the time and place in your decree. Failure to do so could result him taking you to court for violation the terms of the divorce decree.

Sometimes, there are legitimate reasons for violating the divorce decree (safety concerns for the children, child abuse/neglect, etc.). In those situations, you should be prepared to explain and provide evidence to the court as to why you denied the other parent their right to visitation with the children. You should also immediately seek to change the terms of your decree.

However, based on your question, if that is ONLY reason you have, you will likely NOT be successful in court.

Q. i am in contact with the AOG already, should I consider hiring an attorney to assist me with the child support process?

December 4, 2024

A: The OAG is a good route to go without hiring an attorney IF you and the other party are NOT in agreement over who will have custody of the child(ren), or how often a parent will have some visitation with the child(ren). The OAG will assist with any disagreements over the monthly child support amounts.

If you are in disagreement with custody or visitation, you may want to speak/consult with a family law attorney to discuss your options. The OAG's office will not assist you with custody and visitation disagreements.

I hope this information is helpful. Good luck to you.
