Texas allows for both no-fault and at-fault divorces. In a no-fault divorce, one spouse simply states the marriage is “insupportable.” In at-fault divorces, common grounds include adultery, cruelty, abandonment, or felony conviction.
To file for divorce in Texas, one spouse must have been a state resident for at least six months and a resident of the filing county for at least 90 days. Once a divorce petition is filed, there’s a 60-day waiting period before finalization. Texas also imposes a 30-day waiting period before either party can remarry.
Texas is a community property state. That means everything acquired during the marriage is presumed to be jointly owned — and must be divided fairly, not necessarily equally. Our attorneys help ensure a just and right division of marital assets, considering each spouse’s financial needs, earning ability, and contributions to the household.
Spousal maintenance in Texas is limited and only awarded under certain circumstances, such as family violence, long-term marriage, disability, or the need to care for a disabled child. We help clients pursue or contest spousal support with clear documentation and strategic argument.
Child custody is known as “conservatorship” in Texas, and the courts always prioritize the best interests of the child. Whether you’re seeking primary custody or creating a fair parenting plan, we fight for your parental rights and your child’s well-being.
Child support is calculated based on income and other financial factors. Texas law sets clear guidelines, but courts have discretion to adjust based on the specific needs of the child. We also assist in modifications and enforcement of support orders.
Not every divorce needs to go to trial. Many of our clients resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or collaborative divorce. These out-of-court options save time, money, and stress — while giving you more control over the outcome. We’re trained in all ADR methods and can help you pursue the best strategy for your unique situation.

In limited circumstances, you may be able to annul your marriage. Annulment declares that a marriage was invalid from the start, typically due to fraud, duress, lack of consent, or legal incapacity. Our team can determine whether your situation qualifies and guide you through the annulment process.
We listen. We strategize. We fight — for your rights, your children, your assets, and your peace of mind.
