When you need a family law attorney in Boerne, it’s crucial to work with a legal team that understands the local court systems, property values, and family dynamics specific to Kendall County.
At Tessmer Law Firm, we serve the greater Boerne area, including Fair Oaks Ranch, Cordillera Ranch, and Historic Downtown with high-quality representation in family law, estate planning, and probate matters. From high-asset divorces to protecting Hill Country property, our firm brings the legal clarity Boerne residents deserve.
Our firm focuses on all aspects of family law, including:

Divorce in Boerne often involves complex property and financial issues. We handle both standard and high-asset divorces with precision and discretion.
Whether your case involves property, a business, or investments, our attorneys ensure fair asset valuation and division. We guide you from filing in the 451st Judicial District Court to securing settlements that safeguard your future.

Serving military families near JBSA-Randolph, we guide clients through the 90-day residency requirement to file in Kendall County and handle retirement division under the USFSPA.
Our team also helps navigate military benefits, custody arrangements, and deployment-related challenges unique to service members and their families.

Whether adopting a child or securing guardianship for a vulnerable adult, we streamline filings with the Kendall County District Clerk’s Office and ensure every legal detail is addressed.
We also help with legal guardianship cases across Kendall County, ensuring children are protected and placed in stable environments.

From Boerne ISD to Fair Oaks Ranch, custody arrangements often involve school transitions and shared parenting schedules.
We create parenting plans tailored to your child’s best interests and ensure compliance with local court requirements.

We draft fair, enforceable agreements for couples marrying or residing in affluent communities like Cordillera Ranch and Cibolo Creek.
Protect your estate while planning for a secure future.
Estate planning is vital for Boerne’s high-value homeowners and landowners. We prepare wills, create revocable living trusts to ensure privacy, and advise on Transfer on Death Deeds (TODDs) to help families avoid probate.
Since Kendall County lacks a Statutory Probate Court, uncontested matters are handled by the County Judge (Constitutional County Court), while complex disputes go to the 451st District Court. We manage probate filings with knowledge of local court structures and ensure compliance with Texas law.
For families passing down ranches or rural property, we use estate planning strategies that minimize tax burdens and preserve legacy assets. From Main Street homes to Hill Country acreage, your legacy is secure with us.
With deep roots in the Texas Hill Country, we combine legal knowledge with an understanding of the Boerne lifestyle.
Whether you’re walking along Main Street or attending a hearing at the Kendall County Courthouse, we’re close by, and committed to your success.
