During a consultation, we evaluate your situation and explain the available options to help you make an informed decision.
Texas law establishes a minimum waiting period of 60 days from the date the divorce petition is filed. However, many cases may take longer depending on the complexity of the matter, the assets involved, and whether the parties disagree on certain issues.
No. In Texas, a person can file for divorce even if the other party does not agree. The court can proceed with the process as long as the applicable legal requirements are met.
One party’s refusal to sign does not necessarily prevent the divorce from moving forward. Depending on the circumstances, the court may intervene to resolve outstanding matters and issue a decision.
The answer depends on several factors, including when the property was acquired, how it is titled, and the family’s specific circumstances. Texas follows community property rules, but each case must be evaluated individually.
Texas is a community property state. Generally speaking, property acquired during the marriage may be subject to division. The court seeks a distribution it considers fair and equitable under the circumstances of the case.
Bank accounts and financial assets may be part of the marital estate and subject to division. It is important to properly identify and document all assets before reaching agreements or appearing in court.
Debts may also be considered when dividing the marital estate. The court will evaluate factors such as the origin of the debt and who benefited from it.
Texas courts make decisions based on the best interests of the child. Factors considered include the stability of the home, each parent’s involvement in raising the child, and the child’s physical and emotional needs.

In most cases, the obligation continues until the child turns 18 or graduates from high school, whichever occurs later. Exceptions exist in certain special circumstances.
That depends on existing court orders and the circumstances of the case. In many cases, a significant move requires court approval or an agreement between the parents.
Legal mechanisms are available to enforce court orders. A court may impose measures to recover overdue payments and enforce established obligations.
Yes. When there is a significant change in the circumstances of one of the parties or the children, a modification may be requested from the court.
The safety of the victim and the children is a priority. Depending on the situation, protective measures and special court orders may be requested to safeguard the family. The law provides exceptions to the waiting period in certain cases involving family violence.
A person experiencing family violence, threats, or harassment may seek court protection. Our team can help you understand your rights and the legal options available.
Depending on the circumstances, certain behaviors may be considered by the court when evaluating issues related to property division and other aspects of the case.
A business may require a detailed evaluation to determine whether it constitutes separate or community property. Each situation requires a specific analysis based on the documentation and the business’s history.
