Divorce in Texas is the legal process that ends a marriage and addresses related issues such as property division, debt allocation, and, when children are involved, conservatorship, parenting time, and child support. Each case can involve formal discovery, temporary hearings, negotiation, mediation, and, when necessary, trial.
When should you hire divorce counsel?
It is encouraged for clients to hire a divorce counsel when you anticipate disagreement about children, property, or support, when a spouse is threatening to drain accounts or move out of state with a child, or when you have been served, and deadlines are approaching. Counsel is also important when business ownership, retirement assets, allegations of wrongdoing, or safety concerns are present, because early decisions often affect the full course of the case.
