Divorce is one of the most difficult experiences someone can go through. You probably have many questions.
What will happen to the children?
Where will I live?
What will visitation with my children be like?
What will happen to my retirement accounts?

How long will the divorce take?
While the pain, emotions, and stress makes every divorce difficult, my office will do its best to lessen those feelings and give you some control over the next phase of your life. My office will use its years of experience to make sure you are informed and, as comfortable as possible, with the divorce process. We will answer your questions and make sure your rights on protected so that you can more easily move on with your life.
Property Division
Texas is a community property state. Texas divorce law assumes that most property acquired during a marriage is community property and must be divided in a just and right manner. The court will look at the rights of each party and consider children of the marriage when deciding what is a just and right division of community property.
Child Custody
There are two parts of child custody in Texas. First, there is what's called "conservatorship." Conservatorship refers to the rights of both parties to have decision-making rights, such as medical and educational decisions, along with a parties' duties and powers towards that child. The second part is the possession and access for the children. The court will set a schedule for each parent to have possession of the child. In each situation, the court looks to the "best interest of the child" as the primary consideration in making these decisions.
