Rafee'a S. Majeed
Law Office of R.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. Can my ex-spouse take away my Spring Break possession by taking away Spring Break from my child? Thank you
- A: If your child was not being homeschooled at the time your Final Decree was rendered, but is now being homeschooled, this could be a material and substantial change in the circumstances of the parties and could warrant a modification of the final decree. Especially if the possibility of him being homeschooled wasn't considered at the time of your divorce.
If you already know that it's a possibility that Mother could decide that your child will not have a Spring Break because she's now homeschooling him, you should seek to start the process of getting your court order modified to get this issue addressed and resolved prior to Spring Break 2024.

- Q. I have legal custody of my son who is 17 years old and he recently got his girlfriend pregnant. what shall I do?
- A: If Father is court ordered to pay child support, he continues to pay child support until your son reaches age 18 or graduates (or is no longer attending) high school, whichever occurs later.
With your son being 17 years old, there is not a real need to get in family court to get counseling. It's likely that the court will not order counseling on the information that you've provided. You should seek to obtain counseling with your son without court intervention.
If you'd like, you can schedule a consultation with a family law attorney in your area.
I hope this information helps. Good luck to you and your son.
- Q. What is an “amended pleading”? When can it be filed?
- A: A Petition for a Judgment Nunc Pro Tunc is a court document that is filed when a party notices that there was a clerical error in the order that was signed. The party wants to get an order signed that corrects the clerical error. This filing cannot go back and change (or modify) a material issue in the final order. A different petition would have to be filed to modify the final order.
When you e-file a document, the party uses an e-file code that is closest to the action the party is trying to take. The e-file system doesn't have a code for each and every petition that can be filed. Sometimes, you can use a code that has the same filing fee as the document you are filing.
