Understanding Divorce in Texas

Grounds for Divorce

Texas recognizes both no-fault and fault-based divorces. Most couples file under “insupportability,” meaning the marriage can no longer continue due to conflict or discord. However, fault-based grounds such as adultery, cruelty, or abandonment can affect property division and spousal support. Our attorneys help you determine which path best protects your interests.

Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce

• Uncontested Divorce: When spouses agree on all key terms — including custody, property division, and support — the process can be faster, less costly, and more private.

• Contested Divorce: When major disagreements remain, litigation or mediation may be required. Our Houston divorce attorneys are skilled negotiators and seasoned litigators who will protect your rights inside and outside the courtroom.

Key Issues in a Houston Divorce

1. Property Division

Texas is a community property state, which means assets acquired during marriage are generally divided equally. This includes real estate, vehicles, investments, and retirement accounts. Our team helps clients identify, value, and divide assets — including complex portfolios, businesses, and high-net-worth estates.

2. Child Custody and Visitation

Your children’s well-being comes first. We help parents establish custody arrangements that serve the child’s best interests while respecting each parent’s role. Whether through mediation or litigation, we aim for outcomes that foster stability and cooperation.

3. Spousal Support

Also known as spousal maintenance, this support ensures financial fairness when one spouse earns significantly more than the other. We evaluate eligibility, calculate potential payments, and advocate for equitable solutions.

4. Divorce for Professionals and Business Owners

Our attorneys understand the financial complexities of divorce involving business assets, professional practices, and executive compensation. We work with financial experts when necessary to ensure accuracy in valuation and division.

Protecting Your Rights Through Every Step

Mediation and Negotiation

We believe in resolving disputes efficiently whenever possible. Mediation allows both parties to maintain control and reach agreements without court intervention.

Litigation and Trial

When cooperation fails, our attorneys are fully prepared to litigate. With courtroom experience across Harris County and surrounding areas, we know how to present your case effectively to secure the results you need.
