How Our Euless Divorce Lawyers Can Help You

If you are just starting the divorce process, it is probably dawning on you how much of your life needs to be addressed in order to give you the opportunity to start fresh. There are so many questions that need to be answered and so many issues that need to be resolved.

At a minimum, you and your spouse will need to decide:

• Who is keeping the house? Will you sell it?
• How will your marital assets be divided? How about your debts?
• Who will have custody of the children?
• How much child support should be paid?
• How much spousal support should be paid?
• What about vehicles you co-own?
• What about your pets?
• If you co-own a business, who will be responsible for it?

And many, many more. These are not easy decisions to sift through, and our Euless divorce lawyers can take the lead in helping you come to favorable resolutions. 

Understanding Divorce In Texas

In Texas, divorce breaks down largely in two ways, the first of which is uncontested divorce. If your divorce is uncontested, you and your spouse work together (through mediation or negotiation) to agree on the decisions that need to be made, and you see eye-to-eye on the issues of property division, custody, and so on. You will have a quicker and cheaper experience this way and, best of all, you won’t have to go to court.

Contested divorce, on the other hand, is when a couple does not agree on one or more of the issues at hand. If your differences cannot be resolved, you will have to go to court for a resolution. This type of divorce can become drawn out so you are entangled in this process for months or even more than a year, but sometimes, it’s necessary!

Finally, when divorcing in Texas, keep in mind that there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period before your divorce can be finalized. The intention of this waiting period is ideally to allow for a reconciliation between you and your spouse that will make divorce unnecessary. Failing this option, you can use this time to begin work on acclimating to your new life. In exceptional circumstances, such as if you are divorcing due to abuse, this mandatory period can be waived by the court.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I file for divorce if I am in the military and currently deployed?

If Texas is your home state, you can file for a Texas divorce even if both you and your spouse are outside the state.

What happens to our property – who gest what?

Yes, Texas is a community property state, meaning that any property acquired during your marriage is considered to belong equally to both parties and should be divided accordingly. This is nuanced, so if you have questions, our lawyers can help you understand your rights and options! 

Do I need to go to court to obtain a divorce?

Whether or not you go to court will depend entirely on factors such as whether your divorce is contested or uncontested. If you are against going to court, it is in your best interest to negotiate with your spouse to reach a settlement independently.
