Important Things to Remember When Facing A Divorce or Other Family Issue

Get an Outside Perspective: All too often, people facing a divorce become so consumed by their situation that they run the risk of doing or saying something they will regret. This is understandable because family issues are the most emotionally charged, and taxing. An experienced divorce/family law attorney can help you focus your energy on a positive long-term outcome and provide you with a “cooler head” when needed.

Divorce Law in Texas

Texas supports what is called a “no-fault” divorce, and a fault-based divorce. A no fault divorce can be obtained by mutual agreement of the husband and wife. A fault-based divorce is brought by one of the parties because the other party has committed an act in violation of the marriage laws (see below).

No Fault Divorce: Texas supports a no fault divorce where both parties agree that the marriage has become insupportable because of discord or conflict that destroys the marital relationship and prevents reasonable reconciliation.

Fault Based Divorce: A fault-based divorce can be obtained if one or more of the parties has committed any of the following: Cruelty, Adultery, Conviction of a Felony, Abandonment, Living Apart for at least 3 Years, and Confinement in a Mental Hospital. For specific information regarding any of these, contact an Dallas divorce attorney by filling out the questionnaire on your left.

How Can a Dallas Divorce Attorney Help You?

Whether you live in Highland Park, or Oak Cliff, when you are faced with divorce, protecting yourself and your children is your number one priority. Unfortunately the emotional stress and competitive feelings that accompany a divorce make it the worst time to negotiate an agreement. Often, divorcing couples fail to reach agreements because they are too close to the situation to see the big picture. Failing to reach a negotiated agreement means that the court will make the decisions. Letting the court make the decision is like using a chainsaw when a scalpel is the right tool. Additionally, court ordered agreements are rigid and difficult to change and can be in place for many years. An experienced divorce attorney can help you keep your eyes on the big picture goals of your divorce so you can reach an agreement before the court makes one for you. Too much is at stake to leave your protection and the protection of your children up to the court. Consult an experienced Dallas family law attorney today and make sure that your interests are represented.
