Seguin Lawyer for Division of Marital Assets

Texas is a community property state, and this means that each spouse has the right to receive half of the marital property. Our first step in dividing marital assets is to determine what is marital property as opposed to separate property. Dividing marital property is not always simple.

If you own complex assets like a family business that may need valuation, or if one of you has a retirement account that needs to be divided, you need an experienced property division lawyer on your side to ensure that these issues will be addressed correctly. In some cases, you may be entitled to alimony if you were dependent on your spouse. Assets like real estate can be challenging, as a house cannot be split. Our goal will be to ensure that you are financially well-protected going forward and that you receive the full share of marital property you are entitled to.

Child Custody and Support Attorneys in Texas

Issues in divorce concerning children can be very emotionally charged, and understandably so. As a parent, your children are probably the most important part of your life. In most cases, Texas favors some type of shared child custody arrangement. Frequently, one parent will become the primary custodian, while the other is granted visitation rights and will be required to pay child support. Decision-making power is often shared.

If you and your spouse are unable to agree on matters related to child custody, the court will step in and determine what is in the child's best interests based on a number of factors, including how stable each parent's new household is and the child's wishes.

Mothers and fathers are treated equally under the law. Gone is the presumption that children should stay with their mothers. Fathers now have stronger legal rights in child custody cases.

Lawyers for Uncontested Divorce

Generally, the quickest and least costly way to get divorced is to file for an uncontested divorce. Mediation and negotiation are common strategies. in some cases, a court will order spouses to attend mediation. If you have children, coming to an agreement on the issues in your divorce can help keep them out of the conflict as well.

Of course, this is not an option for all spouses. It may not be in your best interest if your spouse is abusive or unlikely to participate in good faith due to substance abuse or mental illness. Our attorneys can advocate on your behalf in a contested divorce and help you achieve a positive outcome to your case.
