Spring Divorce Attorney
Even the most amicable divorces can be emotionally trying, but when one or both of the parties feel injured by the decision to dissolve the marriage, there’s a much greater likelihood for a protracted battle. Your financial future and wellbeing can depend on how your divorce is settled, and when children are involved, the stakes are even higher. In The Woodlands, family law attorney Anna Din stands ready to offer professional, compassionate guidance to her clients who are going through a divorce. She has the experience and divorce law knowledge to serve the best interests of you and your family.
Filing For Divorce in Texas
Texas is a no-fault divorce state, which means that neither party has to prove that the other is the reason for the dissolution of marriage. One of the spouses must be the petitioner and the other is the respondent. There’s a 60-day mandatory waiting period, but complicated divorces often take six months to a year. Additionally, one of the spouses must be a resident of the state of Texas for six months and a resident of Montgomery County for 90 days if you intend to file here. Attorney Anna Din will work diligently to complete your divorce as expeditiously as possible without compromising the integrity of your case.
Factors to Consider for Divorce
While you will discuss your case with your divorce lawyer, it’s beneficial to begin organizing your information and mentally preparing for the divorce process. Here are a few things you’ll want to consider talking to your divorce attorney about:
- Community Property – Assets accrued during the marriage are usually considered community property, with some exceptions. The courts may, however, award an uneven split, depending on the circumstances of your particular case.
- Debt – Like the assets acquired during the marriage, most debt is the responsibility of both spouses. You’ll more than likely be responsible for a portion of debt.
- Child Custody – Like many other states, Texas awards custody based upon the best interests of the children. It also favors reasonable arrangements created by the parents. Start thinking about what works best for you.
- Child Support – In the state of Texas, child support is based upon parental income and the amount of time that the child(ren) stay at each parent’s residence.
- Although Texas does not have alimony, spousal support is sometimes awarded. Feel free to schedule a consultation to see if you would qualify for spousal support and to discuss these other matters in more detail.
It’s in your best interest to speak to a professional divorce lawyer before entering into negotiations with your spouse or their attorney.
