A Brief Overview of Divorce in Texas
Texas divorce laws are complex, which is why we don’t recommend a “do-it-yourself” approach – especially with your future at stake. Among our skilled team of Houston divorce attorneys are Andrew Bayley and Daniel Bayley, who are board-certified in family law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Their advanced legal expertise can give you an advantage in navigating critical divorce issues such as:
- Fault vs. No-Fault Divorce – Texas is one of a few states that offers a fault-based filing option for divorce. However, this process is typically more complex and may not put you in a position for achieving certain results you’re seeking. Our Houston divorce attorneys will help you consider both options and choose the path that best serves your interests.
- Asset and Debt Division – Texas is a community property state, meaning the default procedure for dividing marital property and debts in most cases is an equal 50/50 split. However, you and your spouse have the opportunity to reach your own customized agreement about how you’ll divide your assets.
- Child Custody – Texas courts encourage joint custody arrangements in most cases, as it’s believed to be in the child’s best interests to be able to sustain a relationship with both parents. However, in instances of documented abuse or violence, the court may grant one parent sole custody rights.
- Child Support – Whether you will be the paying parent or the parent receiving child support, we’ll ensure an arrangement is in place that prioritizes a child’s best interests and is financially fair to both parents.
- Spousal Maintenance (Alimony) – Spousal maintenance is only granted in Texas if certain conditions are met. We will discuss your circumstances with you to determine whether spousal maintenance will play a role in your divorce agreement and in what amount.
- And more!
How Our Experienced Houston Divorce Attorneys Guide You Toward a Resolution
While most divorces have their fair share of conflict, some divorce lawyers would rather fan the flames of the existing conflict to drag your case out instead of trying to mitigate it and find an amicable path forward. At The Bayley Law Firm, we never try to make this challenging process more difficult than it needs to be. We’re in the business of helping and protecting families, and leading them toward personalized solutions that align with their unique needs.
One way many couples are able to avoid court and achieve an uncontested divorce is through mediation. This is a process where you work with a neutral third-party mediator who facilitates discussion about key issues with the goal of finding areas of compromise and reaching an agreement. Because court intervention isn’t necessary, you can save a considerable amount of time, money, and stress, while maintaining your family’s privacy.
However, we know that not every case can be solved peacefully. If your divorce grows contentious and escalates to court, you can trust our Houston divorce attorneys to be your fierce advocates as we fight for your interests. You can have peace of mind knowing that you have an assertive team in your corner with over 30 years of combined experience litigating in the Texas family courts.
