Biography

Attorney Rafee’a S. Majeed is the Owner and Managing Attorney of The Law Office of R.S. Majeed. I am a Texas licensed Family Law attorney representing clients in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I have been representing clients in this area for over 5 years, primarily handling divorces (contested and uncontested), child custody cases, child support cases, and modifications and enforcements of all family law cases.

One of my most key characteristics enabling me to be a successful attorney is adaptability. Because the laws are constantly changing, each and every case brings a unique set of challenges and issues and requires the ability to quickly adapt to keep up with the changes.

I have had success in obtaining desired results for my clients, but I also believe in having tough conversations with clients to ensure that their expectations are aligned with what the law will allow. I have a continuous dialogue with clients to discuss any changes in their situation as their case progresses and make necessary adjustments to their case as needed, if necessary.

I am proud to be a Texas lawyer. I work hard to provide and improve the level of service and representation given my clients.

Legal Answers

Q. I have legal custody of my son who is 17 years old and he recently got his girlfriend pregnant. what shall I do?
A: If Father is court ordered to pay child support, he continues to pay child support until your son reaches age 18 or graduates (or is no longer attending) high school, whichever occurs later.

With your son being 17 years old, there is not a real need to get in family court to get counseling. It's likely that the court will not order counseling on the information that you've provided. You should seek to obtain counseling with your son without court intervention.

If you'd like, you can schedule a consultation with a family law attorney in your area.

I hope this information helps. Good luck to you and your son.
Q. What is an “amended pleading”? When can it be filed?
A: A Petition for a Judgment Nunc Pro Tunc is a court document that is filed when a party notices that there was a clerical error in the order that was signed. The party wants to get an order signed that corrects the clerical error. This filing cannot go back and change (or modify) a material issue in the final order. A different petition would have to be filed to modify the final order.

When you e-file a document, the party uses an e-file code that is closest to the action the party is trying to take. The e-file system doesn't have a code for each and every petition that can be filed. Sometimes, you can use a code that has the same filing fee as the document you are filing.

Therefore, in your case, it doesn't sound like your ex is trying to go back and modify the final decree, but just to correct a clerical error in the final decree. The Petition for a Judgment Nunc Pro Tunc that you were served with should state what clerical error your ex is trying to fix.

The "amended pleading" filing code is likely the closest code to the Judgment Nunc Pro Tunc. It's likely that in your county, the filing fee for an amended pleading and a Petition for Judgment Nunc Pro Tunc is the same, so the "amended pleading" filing code was used.

I hope this information helps. Good luck.

Q. Recently filed for divorce but pregnant with partner's baby (not spouse's). Do I have to reveal pregnancy?
A: In the State of Texas, a child born during a marriage is presumed to be the child of the husband (even if it is not). In your Final Decree of Divorce, you must state whether there were any minor children born or adopted during the marriage. Additionally, when you finalize the divorce, the Wife must state whether she is currently pregnant.

For these reasons, parties cannot get divorced while the Wife is pregnant. You must wait until after the child is born to get divorced, because the law presumes that your husband is the father of the unborn child until it can be legally established that husband is not the father.

Therefore, you can and will get in trouble if you fail to reveal that you are pregnant during the "prove up" (or finalization) of your divorce.

I hope this information helps. Good luck to you.
