The Key Issues in a Divorce

Most divorces in Texas involve the same basic issues that need to be resolved before a judge will sign the final decree. We will help you work through:

  • Property Division: Deciding who gets what, from the house and cars to bank accounts and retirement funds.
  • Child Custody & Support: If you have minor children, creating a plan for their care and financial support is the most important part of the case.
  • Spousal Support: In some cases, one spouse may be ordered to provide temporary financial support to the other after the divorce.

Texas is a “no-fault” divorce state, which means you do not have to prove someone did something wrong to get a divorce.

If you have children, their well-being is the top priority.

How Property is Divided in Texas

Texas is a “community property” state. This means that most of the property, assets, and debts you and your spouse got during the marriage belong to both of you. “Separate property” is anything you owned before the marriage, or got as a gift or inheritance during the marriage.

In a divorce, the judge will divide your community property in a way that is “just and right.” This usually means a 50/50 split, but it doesn’t have to be. We will fight to make sure you get a truly fair share of your marital property.
