We Handle All Matters Related to Divorce in Texas

In divorce litigation, it is important that your attorney understand the complex and emerging areas of family law. We  understand where family law and other laws intersect, and have developed proficiency in specific types of divorce cases and subspecialties of family law.

Some of These Unique Case Types Include:
  • Complex Property and Debt Distribution Issues: This includes cases involving community or separate property interests in family businesses, privately held companies, partnerships, stock options and other executive compensation arrangements, professional practices, unique investment vehicles, collectibles, spousal maintenance (alimony payments), and debt division. 
  • Contested Child Custody: Divorces and relocation cases involving child custody disputes can be complex and difficult, often times involving court appointed professionals or investigators whose findings and opinions can significantly impact the case. Once set in motion, the findings and orders entered by the court can be very difficult to reverse or change in the future. We are proficient in representing clients in contested child custody matters and dedicated to the protection of mothers' and fathers' rights. 
  • Gray Divorce: We can address the unique issues that arise when one or both parties in a divorce are over the age of 50. 
  • Military Divorce: This includes addressing military retirement benefits and processing service for deployed military personnel. 
  • International Divorce: We can handle divorces that include unique challenges in identifying, valuing, and distributing community and separate property located in countries outside of the US, as well as international treaties that govern child custody determinations, collection of child support, and enforcement of judgments. 
  • High Conflict Divorce Litigation: Most divorce cases are resolved by agreement between the parties, but some are not. For high conflict cases or cases that go to trial, it is critical for the law firm you hire to have experienced, proven divorce litigators.
