We wrote a prenuptial agreement, in which we each protected our own fortune and listed our intentions for our life together. Everyone was friendly and direct all the way. The deal was such a comfort, it was a big quality.

Our transition was dignified and financially friendly because of a low cost divorce with good standards. All of the marital debt was divided up properly so my credit score was protected for the future. Very reliable, inexpensive and practical representation.

When it came time to figure out child support, I made sure my voice was loud and clear because I reached out to dad-focused counsel. Using genuine work data we might contradict the other side’s statements regarding inferred income. Great support for hard working Dads.

Military benefits are awarded in a difficult way and you need an experienced military divorce attorney who knows the rules for concurrent retirement and disability pay. Filings were filed in complete compliance with federal standards without delay of state determinations. Great resource for families in service.

I had an abogado de divorcio rated very highly so my communal property rights were safeguarded against requests for arbitrary partition. Their tough negotiating position won me a fair payment and gave me a new start. First quality legal services, no doubt.

I had a free consultation before doing anything official, it was very informative and helped answer important questions as to whether or not I was eligible for spousal support. The attorney did not bluster, but gave honest comments. A new standard for legal transparency.

Hiring a highly regarded child custody attorney empowered me to assert myself firmly in the face of unfair visitation limitations. With well-organized evidence and arguments oriented around children, the court was swayed. A tremendous weight lifted off our family's shoulders.

Family Law FAQS

How long does a divorce take in Texas?

Texas requires a mandatory 60-day waiting period before a divorce can be finalized.
Agreed divorces may finish shortly after this period, while contested divorces can take several months depending on issues like custody, property division, and court availability.

Do I need a lawyer for a child custody case?

You are not required to have an attorney, but custody cases determine conservatorship, visitation, child support, and parental rights. Having a lawyer ensures your rights are protected and that the final order is enforceable and accurately written.

How is child support calculated in Texas?

Texas uses guideline percentages based on the paying parent’s net resources and the number of children. Courts may adjust support for special circumstances such as special needs, childcare costs, or hidden income.
We help ensure the correct income numbers are used.

Who gets the children on holidays in Texas?

Holiday schedules follow the Standard Possession Order (SPO) or Expanded Standard Possession Order (ESPO).
Major holidays alternate each year, and school calendars determine the exact pickup and drop-off times.
We help parents understand and enforce their specific holiday orders.

Can I modify a custody or child support order?

Yes. A modification may be requested when there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances or when the current order no longer reflects the child’s needs.
Common reasons include new jobs, changes in income, relocation, or changes in parenting time.

What are temporary orders in a divorce or custody case?

Temporary orders establish rules while the case is pending.
They may cover custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, exclusive use of the home or vehicles, and financial obligations.
These orders stay in place until a final agreement or court ruling.

Can I get an uncontested divorce in Texas?

Yes. If both spouses agree on all issues—including property, debts, custody, and support—an uncontested divorce is possible.
These cases are typically faster, less stressful, and far more cost-effective than contested divorces.
