Selecting Your Grounds for a Celina Divorce

In Texas, you can choose no-fault or at-fault grounds for your divorce. An uncontested divorce typically uses insupportability, which basically means you have irreconcilable differences. These cases usually do not require litigation. We can help you negotiate acceptable terms or review an agreement you have reached with your spouse.

An at-fault divorce can be based on four reasons:

• Abandonment: One spouse intentionally left and stayed away for 12 months or more
• Adultery: A sexual or romantic affair
• Cruelty: Emotional abuse, domestic abuse, and similar forms of abuse or violence
• Felony conviction: Being convicted of a felony with at least one year spent in prison

If the court agrees that your claim of fault is warranted, it could affect property division and spousal support. These contested divorces, along with high-conflict cases, are usually taken to trial. Attorney Moore's considerable litigation experience will serve you well.

Overcoming Potential Challenges

Your situation may involve one or more unique challenges, such as:

• High-asset divorce
• Complex property division, including business interests
• Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements
• Same-sex divorce issues

We can help you overcome them confidently.

Helping You Make Difficult Choices in Your Texas Divorce

Whether your divorce is contested or not, multiple decisions need to be made, such as:

• Child custody: If you have minor children, you must make various choices regarding their upbringing. A managing conservatorship, or legal custody, defines whether one or both parent will have the right to make important decisions for their children, such as healthcare, education, religion, and extracurricular activities. Possessory custody determines the custodial parent with physical custody, and access sets a visitation schedule to allow parenting time for the non-custodial parent.
• Child support: One parent may be obligated to give the other parent financial assistance through child support payments. These funds are to be used to provide for the children's needs. Texas uses a formula to determine amounts, but your circumstances may need a deviation from these guidelines.
• Alimony: For some couples, spousal maintenance or alimony will be paid either for a short time or longer. An award of alimony, the amount, and duration are determined on a case-by-case basis using specific factors that include your accustomed standard of living, your health, your age, and your ability to support yourself financially.
• Property division: In Texas, all assets and debts acquired during a marriage are considered community property. Some exceptions may apply, such as inheritances received while married and property owned before the marriage. You deserve a fair share of your community assets.

We will guide and support you as you make these difficult but necessary decisions.
