About Us

Jennifer Cochran provides legal representation primarily in the areas of adoptions, child custody, divorce and probate.

Some of the typical cases we handle include:  step-parent and second parent adoptions, contested and uncontested (agreed) divorces, modification of custody and/or child support, enforcement of property divisions, child support and custody, maternity/paternity actions, partition of property suits for cohabiting but unmarried couples, probate, heirship proceedings, guardianships, CPS cases, protective order, appeals, mediation, and more.  We also draft the following documents:  will, medical power of attorney, durable power of attorney, appointment of agent for disposition of remains, living will, HIPAA release, co-ownership agreement, settlement agreement, property agreement, domestic partnership agreement, living together agreement, and more.

We are especially interested in cases involving unions that are not recognized by the laws of Texas such as domestic partners (opposite sex and same sex), civil unions recognized in other states, and unmarried but cohabiting couples in matters such as adoption, custody, visitation, estate planning, property contracts, partition suits and dissolution.
Attorney Jennifer Cochran represented the petitioner in the first same-sex divorce granted in Travis County which made local, regional and national headlines including Newsweek, The Huffington Post, KXAN, and the Austin American Statesman.
