How We Can Help You With Your Divorce

We can assist you with things like:

• Property division: We can determine which assets are marital property and how you can expect to split those assets under Texas’ community property laws. We can also help you divide retirement accounts through a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO).
• Child custody: Our lawyer can advocate and negotiate for a parenting schedule that meets your children’s best interests and aiding in creating a parenting plan that meets your family’s unique needs.
• Spousal support: We will assess the appropriate amount you need to maintain a reasonable standard of living after divorce or advocating for changes to the amount of spousal support you pay after a significant life change.
• Child support: We can work to ensure your ex-spouse contributes their fair share as you raise your kids separately. We can also advocate for you or your spouse to contribute more or less income if your financial circumstances change.
• Postnuptial modifications: Our attorney will draft an agreement for you and your spouse right after getting married so you have a more clear-cut strategy should you get divorced.

Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce In Texas

Do you have questions about your divorce? Learn more by reading the following frequently asked questions:

How long does it take to get a divorce in Texas?

A Texas divorce takes a minimum of 60 days. However, a few factors can influence the time it takes to settle a divorce. For instance, larger marital estates could lead to a longer divorce to help ensure assets are divided evenly. A divorce could also take several months to finalize if it is contested or if any marital issues, such as asset division and spousal support, cannot be resolved outside of court.

What is the difference between a contested and uncontested divorce?

An uncontested divorce means that both spouses agree to the terms of the divorce, including how the marital estate is divided and alimony. It is typically the fastest and cheapest option for both parties.

If a couple cannot agree to all divorce issues, the divorce becomes contested – and that means a much more complex process. In the end, the court may have to make decisions on any issues that the couple cannot resolve on their own.

Do I need to have grounds for divorce in Texas?

Yes. You can obtain a no-fault divorce, which means neither spouse bears responsibility for the marriage’s end, on three different grounds: irreconcilable differences, living apart for at least three years or when a spouse has been committed to a mental institution for at least three years.

For a fault-based divorce, there are four possible grounds upon which you can file, including:

● Cruelty
● Adultery
● Criminal conviction
● Abandonment

Your divorce could be affected by the grounds on which you file. You may need to talk to an attorney to understand your legal options.

Can I modify child custody orders after my divorce is finalized?

Yes. If there are issues with a child custody order, either parent has the right to file a petition. This petition is filed in family court requesting modifications to a custody order and why they need to be made.
