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 San Antonio divorce attorney by filling out the questionnaire on your left.

How Can an San Antonio Divorce Attorney Help You?

The emotional stress at the end of a marriage make it the most inconvenient time to come to financial agreements and make decisions about the long term care of children. Competitive feelings and anger tend to cloud judgment and discourage rational thinking. Whether your residence is a mansion in Alamo Heights or you live in a starter home Schertz your security and the security of your family is at stake and a mistake now can mean regrets for a lifetime. Not achieving an agreement will leave the decisions to the court, and once a judicial order is in place changing it can be impossible. In any case, the court will likely use a hatchet to separate the parties, when a surgeon’s scalpel is the appropriate tool. An experienced San Antonio family law attorney can help you reach an agreement before the court has to step in. Skilled attorneys can be the voice of reason when your emotions run to high to be reasonable, and can help you see the big picture when any little thing overwhelms your emotions. Consult a San Antonio family law attorney today and learn how you can transform an explosive situation into an agreement that is satisfying to you and protects your security and the relationship with your children for years to come.
