Helping You Make Tough Choices in Your Lewisville Divorce

Other couples may be going through a divorce and making similar choices, but your decisions need to be based on your own circumstances, needs, objectives, and priorities. The terms of your divorce agreements form the foundation for your children, finances, and future, so you should treat them with due seriousness.

Child Custody and Support

Most of the time, children do better when they are allowed to maintain a healthy, meaningful relationship with both parents after a divorce. Exceptions could apply, such as in cases that involve child abuse, domestic violence, and criminal activity that endangers a child's well-being. You need to decide if your children will divide their time rather equally between you or if they will primarily live with one of you. Visitation schedules need to be carefully considered. One or both of you will be granted the right to make major choices about your children's upbringing.

Many times, one parent will be required to pay support to help provide for the child's needs. The amount is determined using a set formula. However, we can help you request a deviation if your circumstances call for it.

Grounds for Divorce

The grounds for an uncontested divorce are usually insupportability, meaning irreconcilable differences. You and your future ex may be able to reach acceptable terms between yourselves, or we can facilitate negotiations. We can also review your agreements to ensure they protect your rights and best interests.

A contested divorce is usually settled in court. The grounds for a fault-based divorce include adultery, abandonment, cruelty, and felony conviction. If a judge finds that your fault-based claim has merit, the property division and alimony considerations may be in your favor.

Property Division

In Texas, most of the assets and debts you accumulate during your marriage are community property. Exceptions may apply for inheritances, previously owned assets, and specific items excluded in a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement. You can count on us to help you advocate for your fair share. If you believe your spouse has hidden or wasted assets, we can be sure to address that through a dissipation claim.

Spousal Maintenance

In some divorces, one spouse is ordered to pay alimony to the other. Unlike child support, there is not a specific formula that is used. Whether you are seeking spousal maintenance or being asked to pay it, we will advocate for your best interests.

Resolving Unique Issues in Your Texas Divorce

Your divorce may include some unique issues that require thoughtful and thorough resolutions. We can help with even the most complex challenges, such as:

• High-net-worth property division and divorce
• Business interests
• Same-sex divorce

Our meticulous attention to detail means that we will address every issue appropriately.
