GET THE UPPER HAND IN YOUR DIVORCE OR CHILD CUSTODY CASE

Call Carl and Get the Upper Hand

When the Other Side Plays Games, You Don’t Need More Patience — You Need Leverage.

If you’re dealing with a high-conflict divorce or custody battle, you already know the truth:
Reasonable conversations don’t work. Cooperation doesn’t happen. And waiting things out only makes it worse.

You’re up against someone who lies, escalates, withholds, manipulates, or refuses to follow court orders. At this point, hoping things “calm down” isn’t a strategy.

Call Carl and get the Upper Hand.

Built for High-Conflict Cases — Not Fairy-Tale Divorce

High-conflict divorce and custody cases are not normal family law matters. They require a lawyer who understands:

• How high-conflict personalities operate

• How family courts actually make decisions

• How to build leverage over time — not just react to today’s crisis

• How to protect children while still playing to win

Carl Knickerbocker does not dabble in high-conflict cases. This is a core focus of his practice.

He represents parents in contested divorce, custody modifications, enforcement actions, and alienation-driven disputes throughout Williamson County, Texas, including Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto, and Liberty Hill.

Get the Upper Hand With Strategy — Not Drama

Family court rewards preparation, documentation, and consistency. It punishes emotional reactions and scattered decision-making.

Getting the upper hand means:

• Building a clean, credible record

• Controlling your narrative before the other side defines it

• Knowing when to push, when to wait, and when to strike

• Making decisions that judges respect — even when the other parent doesn’t

This is where strategy matters.

Carl Knickerbocker approaches high-conflict cases the way a strategist does — three moves ahead, focused on outcomes, not noise.

Williamson County Focus, National Perspective

Family law is local. Strategy is universal.

Carl has extensive experience in Williamson County family courts and understands how local judges view credibility, escalation, and repeated litigation. At the same time, his national consulting work gives him a broader strategic lens than most family lawyers.

That’s how clients get the upper hand — locally and long-term.

Call Carl When:

• The other parent refuses to cooperate or compromise

• You’re dealing with constant accusations, filings, or threats

• Custody exchanges, communication, or compliance are ongoing battles
