Our Divorce Practice
We represent men and women throughout the divorce process, from the decision to seek a divorce through negotiated settlements, mediation or trial, to post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement. We have a comprehensive knowledge of the no-fault divorce laws in Texas and handle all matters related to or arising out of divorce, including:
- Child custody and visitation: If you have children under the age of 18, a child custody suit will be automatically initiated when a divorce complaint if filed. We will help you establish and implement custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of your minor children while protecting your rights as a parent.
- Child support: We will review all proposed support orders for compliance with Texas guidelines. We will also confirm that all relevant income has been included in the calculation, including seasonal income, commission-based income, and self-employment income.
- Alimony/spousal support: When temporary alimony is necessary, we can help you obtain court-ordered payments.
- Property division: We will work closely with you to identify the status of all debts and assets under the community property laws in Texas, including real property, bank accounts and investments, retirement funds and business assets. We will also assist you in proving what is separate property to ensure it is not included in the property settlement agreement.
In certain situations, where there are no issues in dispute or minor children, we can help you finalize a divorce soon after the 60-day waiting period is over. However, if there are disputes regarding custody, visitation, support or property settlements, the process will likely take longer.
