Expert legal counsel can help you identify, value, and divide property appropriately. Don't risk losing what rightfully belongs to you—seek professional assistance.

Take control of the situation by equipping yourself with expert support.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a divorce take in Texas?
Texas has a mandatory 60-day waiting period from the date of filing. Uncontested divorces may finalize shortly after this period, while contested divorces can take 6 months to over a year depending on complexity, custody disputes, and asset division issues.
How is child custody determined in Texas?
Texas courts prioritize the best interest of the child, considering factors like the child's physical and emotional needs, parental abilities, stability of home environments, the child's preference (if age 12+), and each parent's willingness to support the parent-child relationship.
What is the difference between legal and physical custody?
Legal custody (conservatorship in Texas) refers to decision-making authority for the child's welfare, education, and healthcare. Physical custody (possession and access) determines where the child lives and visitation schedules. Parents can share both or have different arrangements.
