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 divorce papers be delivered by registered mail to a Canadian resident with a PO Box address?
- A: It depends. If you get the judge to let you serve papers via U.S. Mail, then yes, but you will have to show the Court you have tried other methods of service, and then file a Motion for Alternative Service. And then you will have to follow the Order of the Court precisely.
My recommendation would be to contact a local Family Law Attorney as these types of cases are very complicated and the expertise of an attorney with experience will greatly increase your chances of success.
- Q. How to file for sole legal conservatorship with open police and CPS cases?

Seeking sole managing conservatorship based on CPS reports and open police reports will require a significant knowledge base just to be able to introduce those records into Court for the judge to be able to take them into consideration.
- Q. Do I need to file anything to end child support in Texas after my daughter graduated and turned 18?

If your employer has a Wage Withholding Order and wont stop withholding your child support until they get an Order, then you will need to file an Original Petition to Terminate Withholding and get an Order terminating your support. You can then send that to your employer and they will stop taking out the Child Support.
If you were paying your child support through the Attorney Generals office, ... Read More
