New Braunfels, Texas AttorneysAbout Valin L. Woodward
After being licensed in 1979, Ms. Woodward’s practice for many years was primarily in the area of insurance defense and products liability, with experience in complex multi-district litigation and commercial litigation. After moving back to her hometown of New Braunfels in 2005, she has focused primarily on family law cases, including divorce (from complex to uncontested), property divisions (including tracing of separate property) child custody (standard and non-standard, as well as geographic restrictions), child support (increases and reductions), enforcement, modification, paternity, grandparent access, termination and adoptions and pre- and post-marital agreements (keeping separate property separate). She also assists clients with the preparation of wills and advanced directives including durable powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney and directives to physicians. Ms. Woodward has experience with the probate of wills and other heirship proceedings.
