How Divorce Works in Texas

A divorce begins when one spouse files an Original Petition for Divorce. Texas law requires a minimum 60-day waiting period before a judge can grant a final divorce. In emergencies (such as family violence), this waiting period may be waived.

During the case, temporary orders may be needed to:

• Set temporary child support

• Establish visitation schedules

• Restrict financial behavior

• Protect property

• Limit harassment or damaging conduct

Temporary orders provide stability until final orders are entered.

Child Custody and the Best Interest Standard

In any case involving children, the court’s primary concern is the best interest of the child. Depending on the situation, the court may consider:

• Work schedules

• Living arrangements

• Parental involvement

• School stability

• Home studies

• Witness testimony

• Evidence of neglect or misconduct

We help clients build strong cases and present the evidence the court needs to see.

Mediation: Finding Common Ground to Avoid Trial

Our first goal in every divorce or custody case is to help the parties find common ground. Mediation allows both sides to work toward a resolution with the help of a neutral third party — often a retired judge or experienced mediator.

A successful mediation reduces stress, saves money, protects children from conflict, and avoids the risks of trial.

If issues remain unresolved, we are fully prepared to present your case before a judge.

Your Rights in Divorce and Custody Cases

To make the best decisions, you must understand your rights regarding:

• Marital property
