Answers to What's Keeping You Up at Night
Texas requires a minimum 60-day waiting period from the date you file. Most contested divorces take 6–12 months, depending on complexity. High-asset cases or disputes involving custody can take longer. Having an attorney managing the process from the start tends to move things significantly faster.
Most family law cases in Texas settle before trial — but not all. We prepare every case as if it will go to court, which actually tends to produce better settlements because the other side knows we mean it. If a trial is what it takes to get you a fair result, that's exactly what we'll do.
Texas is a community property state, meaning most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are subject to division. "Equal" doesn't always mean identical — courts look at what's fair given the full picture. We work to identify your separate property, protect what you came in with, and ensure the division reflects your real contributions.
Document everything — dates, times, what happened. Then contact an attorney. Texas courts take custody order violations seriously, and repeated non-compliance can result in fines, make-up visitation, or even a modification of the existing order. You don't have to keep absorbing violations and hoping the situation improves on its own.
This is one of the most important reasons to call right away. When one side has legal representation, and the other doesn't, it creates a serious imbalance. You have rights — to a fair share of marital property, to your children, to your financial security — and an unrepresented spouse often loses ground they didn't have to lose.
