About Our Brazos County Family Law Firm
When your marriage is ending and everything you’ve worked for is on the line, the attorney you choose matters. Your home near the Traditions neighborhood, the small business you built from the ground up, a vacation property outside the Bryan-College Station area. You need a lawyer with the legal knowledge, cutting-edge resources, and depth of experience guiding people through the most difficult family law situations.
Attorney C.E. Borman founded this law office in 2002 with a clear purpose: to give families in Brazos County and the surrounding communities the kind of experienced, no-nonsense family law representation they deserve when life gets hard. Whether you are a homeowner in College Station, a business owner off Texas Avenue in Bryan, or a parent who simply cannot afford to lose ground in a custody dispute, this firm was built for you. In situations where other family lawyers might suggest giving in, we reach positive solutions.
Attorney Borman has practiced family law in Brazos County for more than two decades. That means she has appeared in the Brazos County District Courts repeatedly, knows how local judges approach contested cases, and understands the specific pressures facing families in the Bryan-College Station area. She has handled hundreds of cases ranging from straightforward to deeply complicated, and she approaches each one with the same level of preparation and commitment.
Over the years, the firm has built a reputation for taking on difficult cases. High-conflict divorce where our client’s ex is threatening to go to trial instead of negotiating in good faith. Disputed business valuations. Child custody battles that drag on longer than anyone planned. These are the cases that separate a capable attorney from an experienced one. At C.E. Borman & Associates, we have handled them all. We are confident that we can help you too.
Our approach is direct. We gather the facts, assess the strengths and weaknesses of your position honestly, and build a strategy designed to protect what matters most to you. We do not run up the clock with unnecessary procedures, and we do not shy away from a fight when one is needed.
Some cases resolve through negotiation or mediation. When that path leads to a fair outcome, we pursue it. When it does not, we prepare for litigation. Attorney Borman has the courtroom experience to go the distance, and clients know going in that she is not looking for the easy exit if the easy exit comes at their expense.
We also think beyond the immediate case. Attorney Borman is passionate about putting clients on a solid trajectory, not just for today, but for the months and years ahead. A well-structured divorce decree can protect your interests for a long time. A poorly written one can create problems for a decade. We pay attention to the details because the details matter.
Parenting plans, property division agreements, support orders. Each one needs to be clear, enforceable, and built around your actual life. We write orders that hold up, and we make sure our clients understand every term before they sign anything.
If you own a home, a business, or a second property, a divorce could put all of it in play. Texas courts divide the community estate in a way that is “just and right,” which does not always mean equal. The outcome depends on the specific facts of your case, the evidence presented, and how well your attorney argues your position.
This is where experience counts. We handle cases involving:
For parents, the stakes go beyond money and property. Child custody in Texas involves two separate legal concepts: conservatorship, which refers to who makes major decisions for the child, and possession, which refers to where the child lives and when each parent has time with them. Both can be contested, and both can have lasting effects on your relationship with your children. Attorney Borman takes custody disputes seriously. She understands that the schedule set in a final order shapes your child’s daily life for years.
Child support is tied closely to custody outcomes. Courts in this area use established guidelines to calculate support, but the numbers can shift based on income, the possession schedule, and other factors specific to your situation. We make sure those calculations reflect reality.
One of the things clients say they appreciate most about working with attorney Borman is that she tells them the truth. She is not going to sugarcoat a weak position or promise results she cannot guarantee. At the same time, she goes into every case looking for a path to a positive outcome. That combination, honesty paired with genuine optimism, tends to give clients something they need badly during a difficult time: confidence that their case is in capable hands.
High-conflict divorce cases often involve a spouse who is hiding assets, a business partner who complicates valuation, or a co-parent who refuses to cooperate. These situations call for an attorney who is both strategic and aggressive when the moment demands it. Attorney Borman is known for being both. She can negotiate a fair resolution when that serves her client, and she can take the fight to the Brazos County courthouse when it does not.
The Brazos County Courthouse sits at the intersection of Texas Avenue and William Joel Bryan Parkway in Bryan. Our attorneys know that building well. We have filed petitions there, argued motions, and tried contested cases. Familiarity with local courts and local procedure is a real advantage, and it is one we bring to every client.
C.E. Borman & Associates serves clients in Bryan, College Station, and the communities throughout the Brazos Valley. Families come to us from neighborhoods near Texas A&M University, from properties along Highway 6, from rural acreage outside the city limits, and from growing residential areas in southeast College Station. We also serve clients in surrounding counties who need a firm with deep roots in this region.
People in this area tend to have a lot tied up in their property. Brazos County has grown significantly, and with that growth has come real estate appreciation, business development, and more complex marital estates. A divorce in this environment is not the same as it was twenty years ago. The financial exposure is higher, and the legal stakes are too.
We have also worked with clients who own vacation or recreational properties outside Brazos County. Lake Somerville and the surrounding area attract families from Bryan-College Station, and disputes over those properties can add another layer of complexity to an already difficult divorce. We know how to account for those assets and make sure they are handled correctly in the property division process.
“A law team that not only has the knowledge but has the heart to do what’s best for each situation. We appreciate all you have done for our family. Keep up the good work!”

Divorce is almost always a stressful and challenging process. It may be that you and your spouse agree on all the details, or you may instead anticipate a long, drawn-out court battle. Either way, emotions are likely running high.
Bringing the law into family matters can be scary. But having an experienced Texas family law attorney by your side will help give you the confidence to fight for your rights and what’s best for your family.
At the end of the day, the most important consideration is what’s best for the child. But sometimes you and the child’s other parent may have differing opinions on what that is. That’s where we come in.
Life happens. Situations change, people move, parents remarry, children develop health problems. Court orders and parenting plans may seem final when you first agree to them, but the truth is that’s not always the case.
Texas is a “community property” state, which means that certain assets and debts that you acquire during your marriage belong equally to both you and your spouse. If you decide to end your marriage, you will have to come up with a plan for who gets what.
Mothers make up 9 out of 10 custodial parents statewide. Our team at C.E. Borman & Associates believes that, all other things being equal, fathers have just as much of a right to be in their children’s lives as mothers.
Divorce for couples above the age of 50 is referred to as “gray divorce” because of the unique challenges and experiences of getting divorced later in life. After decades of building a life together, it can be difficult to untangle the consequences of a divorce, both financial and emotional.
Just because same-sex marriage is legal doesn’t mean there isn’t still discrimination. And there are many other family law issues that LGBTQ couples can face – some unique to the LGBTQ community, and some not.
While we tend to think of adoption as a childless couple adopting a child through an agency, in reality, there are many circumstances under which someone might consider adoption in Texas.

Together, we’ll get to work resolving your issues – representing you through mediation and, if necessary, in court.
