The exact percentage of marriages that end in divorce is disputed, but it is likely between 40 and 50 percent.

Our law firm is experienced in serving LGBT+ families as well as military families, who may have unique needs during their proceedings.
Texas Attorney for All Ways to Resolve a Divorce
You may have options when it comes to resolving your divorce. While divorce litigation used to be the most common way of settling each issue, courts now often order mediation first. Spouses can also opt for dispute resolution methods such as attorney-facilitated negotiation.
We can assess the circumstances of your divorce and help determine what type of resolution process may work best for you. Our lawyers are experienced courtroom advocates, but we are also skilled in alternative dispute resolution.
Dividing Marital Property in Guadalupe County
Texas is a community property state, meaning that almost every asset acquired during the marriage belongs equally to both spouses, regardless of who did or did not earn income or make purchases. You are generally entitled to 50% of the marital property, in addition to your own separate property.
Brandon Wong & Associates has years of experience helping our clients divide complex marital assets like retirement accounts or pensions, real estate that represents a large portion of the marriage's worth, and joint business ventures. Our goal is to ensure that you receive everything you deserve, including spousal support if you have relied on your spouse's income to meet your needs.
Child Custody Attorneys for New Braunfels Parents
Child custody issues can be addressed in family court as part of a divorce or as an independent case. As a parent, your children are probably your top priority. The good news is that Texas courts nearly always use joint custody arrangements, where both parents retain either primary custody or visitation rights, with decision-making powers often shared. Courts in Texas make these decisions based on what a judge believes are in the child's best interests, considering things like the stability of each parent's household and the child's preferences. Children are entitled to be supported by both parents, and the noncustodial parent will often be ordered to pay child support.
Our law firm can also help you with any modifications or enforcement actions you may need to address. For example, if you plan to relocate, or if the needs of your child have changed, we can assist with requests to modify child custody or child support. Your relationship with your child is an extremely high priority for us, and we will advocate for solutions that will protect your child's best interests.
