Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about law, our services, and what to expect—our FAQ section is here to help you feel informed and prepared every step of the way.
Divorce
In Texas, a divorce takes at least 60 days due to the mandatory waiting period, but contested cases can take several months or longer, depending on their complexity.
No, Texas allows for no-fault divorce, meaning you don’t have to prove wrongdoing. However, fault-based grounds like adultery or cruelty can impact property division and spousal support.
Yes. If one spouse files for divorce and the other refuses to participate, the court can still grant the divorce through a default judgment.
Child Custody
Texas courts prioritize the child’s best interests, considering factors like parental involvement, stability, and the child’s emotional and physical needs. Joint custody (conservatorship) is common, but one parent may have primary custody.
At age 12 or older, a child can express a preference, but the court makes the final decision based on their best interests.
Child support is based on a percentage of the noncustodial parent’s income, typically 20% for one child, 25% for two, and increasing with additional children, subject to state guidelines.
Yes. If there’s a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss or relocation, you can request a modification through the court.
Property Division
Community property includes assets and debts acquired during the marriage, while separate property (owned before marriage or received as a gift/inheritance) is not divided in a divorce.
Not necessarily. While Texas follows community property laws, courts consider factors like earning potential, fault in the marriage, and financial needs when dividing assets.
If a spouse attempts to hide assets, legal action can be taken to uncover and equitably distribute them. Courts may penalize a spouse for financial dishonesty.
Yes, if both parties agree on property division, they can create a legally binding agreement without court intervention. Mediation can also help resolve disputes.
Spousal Support
Texas law limits spousal support to cases where the requesting spouse lacks sufficient income and meets specific conditions, such as a marriage lasting 10+ years or the spouse being a victim of domestic abuse.
Texas limits spousal support to the lesser of $5,000 per month or 20% of the paying spouse’s income, with duration based on marriage length and other factors.
Yes. If there’s a substantial change in circumstances, such as job loss or remarriage, either party can request a modification.
Yes. If a spouse is found to have committed adultery, the court may reduce or deny their request for spousal support.
