Frequently Asked Questions
What grounds do I need to file for a divorce in Texas?
In Texas, you can file both no-fault and fault-based divorce. While “insupportability” is the most common no-fault divorce, you can also file for cruelty, adultery, abandonment, and other fault-based reasons.
Can I empty our joint bank account before filing for divorce?
Doing so would be unfavorable since courts often view this as suspicious and unfair. Check with a family law attorney before making major financial changes so you don’t hurt your case.
How is child support calculated in Texas?
The amount of child support you pay is based on a percentage of the paying parent’s income and adjusted for the number of children and expenses they have, such as health insurance. Our Kilgore, TX, child support attorneys will walk you through the formula and what you can expect during your case.
What happens at a child custody hearing?
During your hearing, the court will review the ability of both parents to take care of the child. They will then decide who gets custody based on the child’s best interest. This may include hearing evidence, testimony, and reviewing your proposed parenting plans. Our child custody lawyers will ensure you’re prepared before the hearing.
Do I need a lawyer if this is my first offense?
Yes, even a first offense can come with fines, probation, and jail time. With a good criminal defense attorney, they will protect your rights, reduce penalties, and help you avoid conviction altogether.
Can a juvenile record be sealed in Texas?
Yes, our juvenile defense attorneys can request that a record be sealed if your child meets certain requirements.
What is equitable distribution in a Texas divorce?
In Texas, there is usually a 50/50 split of community property, meaning assets acquired during your marriage. However, courts look at multiple factors, so our divorce attorneys will help you protect your fair share.
Can I change my original divorce or custody order?
If your circumstances significantly changed, modifications can be made in situations like moving, job changes, or the child’s needs. We’ll walk you through how to file for a change and get a fair update.
Is mediation a good option for resolving family law disputes?
Mediation is often a good choice to save time, reduce conflict, and assist both sides in reaching a fair agreement.
