Divorce and Family Law
While some do-it-yourself websites and internet advertising claim no-fault divorces can be had for under $500, the truth is that in Court, just like in most things in life, you get exactly what you pay for. Financial advice, emotional counseling AND legal advice are often the hallmarks of a good lawyer, and a do-it-yourself Internet divorce kit has no way to anticipate the many different requirements of a client or your family.
Before marriage, a prenuptial agreement can help both spouses understand the financial implications of a marriage. Texas is a no-fault divorce state, meaning one need not prove the other spouse is at fault to dissolve a marriage. If you, or your spouse has decided to end your marriage, you will want a lawyer on your side to aide you in a fair and equitable division of marital property and debts.
After a divorce, child support issues, child custody and visitation schedules and extended education for older children can all create issues with which you may want legal advice and counseling.
