In Texas, there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period from the date the divorce petition is filed before a court can finalize the divorce. Uncontested divorces may be completed shortly after that period. Contested cases involving custody or property disputes can take several months or longer, depending on complexity.
Yes. Texas is a community property state, which means most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are considered jointly owned. Courts aim for a “just and right” division of property, which does not always mean a strict 50/50 split.
Texas courts base custody decisions on the “best interest of the child.” Judges consider factors such as each parent’s ability to provide stability, the child’s needs, and any history of conflict or misconduct.
Yes. Custody and child support orders can be modified if there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances, such as job changes, relocation, or changes in the child’s needs.
Texas uses statutory guidelines based primarily on the paying parent’s net income and the number of children involved. Courts may adjust the amount in certain circumstances, but guideline calculations are the starting point.
Texas refers to alimony as “spousal maintenance.” It is not automatic and is typically awarded only if specific legal requirements are met. Factors include the length of the marriage, each spouse’s financial resources, and the ability to earn income.
Not always. Many family law matters are resolved through negotiation or mediation. However, if an agreement cannot be reached, your case may proceed to court for a judge to decide.
