Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Grounds for Divorce in Texas?

Texas recognizes both no-fault and fault-based grounds for divorce. In a no-fault divorce, the couple may simply cite 'in-supportability' or irreconcilable differences. Fault-based grounds include adultery, cruelty, abandonment, and felony conviction, among others. Understanding these can impact your divorce strategy and potential outcomes. We help our clients evaluate these grounds carefully to decide the best course of action tailored to their situation and goals.

How Does Property Division Work in a Same-Sex Divorce?

Texas is a community property state, meaning that assets acquired during the marriage are typically split evenly. Special considerations may be needed for same-sex couples, particularly when addressing assets and debts incurred before the nationwide recognition of same-sex marriage in 2015. Our attorneys can help disentangle these complexities to ensure a fair division. We aim to identify and address any discrepancies early, focusing on equitable settlements that reflect both parties' contributions to the marriage.

Can I Get Spousal Support in a Same-Sex Divorce?

Spousal support, or alimony, is not guaranteed in Texas divorces and is often awarded based on specific criteria such as the duration of the marriage, disparities in income, health conditions, and contributions to the marriage. We work closely with you to assess your eligibility and advocate for support when appropriate. Our approach is detailed and considers all aspects that may influence support decisions, ensuring that no stone is left unturned in representing your best interests.

How Do Child Custody Arrangements Differ for Same-Sex Parents?

Child custody decisions are made in the best interests of the child, regardless of the parents’ gender. For same-sex couples, complexities can arise in determining legal parenthood, particularly if only one member of the couple is the biological parent. Our firm helps navigate these issues to secure a fair custody arrangement. We also provide guidance on visitation rights, ensuring that parental bonds are preserved and nurtured through thoughtful and informed legal strategies.

What Should I Bring to My Initial Consultation?

Gather any legal documents pertinent to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial statements, and records of relevant communications. Having these documents ready helps us assess your case more accurately and provide tailored advice during your free consultation. We also encourage clients to jot down any questions or concerns they have, ensuring that the time spent is maximally productive and answers all lingering doubts.
