I am John Herbig, an attorney with a focus on family law and mediation. Throughout my career, I have dedicated myself to assisting numerous clients through intricate family issues with compassion, accuracy, and a high level of professionalism. I am also proud to be a United States Army Veteran. My academic journey began at California State University Northridge, where I obtained a Bachelor's degree in 2001 and a Master's degree in 2002, both in Environmental and Occupational Health and Safety. During my master's program, I also earned certificates in Hazardous Materials and Waste Management.
I pursued my legal education at the University of Houston Law Center, earning my Juris Doctor in 2007. Shortly thereafter, I was licensed to practice law in the State of Texas. My work in mediation is aimed at fostering cooperative solutions that are efficient, minimize conflict, and lead to positive results. Whether serving as a vigorous advocate in the courtroom or a proficient mediator outside of it, I am dedicated to safeguarding your interests at every phase.

- Q. Can I sue my ex-wife for canceling health insurance against standing orders after divorce in Texas?
- A: The only remedy you would have for a violation of the Standing Order would be a motion to enforce, but since your divorce is already finalized, you probably wouldn't be able to file that now.
- Q. Can I prevent my son from meeting his felon grandfather?
- A: Without any custody Orders in place, you wouldn't be able to stop the Father from taking the child to meet his Grandpa.
If you file a petition in Suit Affecting the Parent Child Relationship, you can ask a Court to enjoin the child from seeing the Grandfather, but you will have to show how that contact would not be in the child's best interest.
- Q. Can my ex take me back to court to offset child support payments when they still owe me money?
- A: A party can take the other party back to court to recalculate child support if three years have passed and the amount of the child support would change by at least one hundred dollars, or 20%. A party can also take you back to court if there has been a substantial change in circumstance.
If your ex is just trying to take you back to court because they owe you money, and are trying to get the child support raised to cancel out their debt, unless the party can show they fall under the above stated reasons to change child support, the other party will most likely fail.
Note: without knowing all the facts, it is impossible to give you a more precise answer to this question.
