Jennifer Stanton Hargrave is an experienced family law trial attorney who is also skilled at helping clients construct creative settlement agreements. Jennifer knows that in family law, there are battles that need to be fought. However, she also knows that every divorce does not need to inevitably end in warfare, and that a non-adversarial approach can provide the best results for the whole family.
Jennifer has been practicing law since 1995. She began her law career working for a litigation firm, and was then hired as in-house counsel to a corporation in the financial services industry. In 2006, she left the financial services industry to begin her career in family law. Jennifer is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. She is a member of the Texas Academy of Family Law Specialists, the Dallas Bar Family Law Section and the Collaborative Law Institute of Texas.

- We reviewed recent trends in grandparents serving as the primary caregivers for their grandchildren. Whether this is due to drug use, mental illness, or other changes in the family system, an increasing number of children are being raised primarily by an aging grandparent. This brings with it a set of challenges that attorneys advising aging clients may encounter. In this presentation, we covered the intersection of family law with estate planning issues facing grandparents.
