Dedicated Divorce Support
Although there is a legal process that every divorce should go through, how this process transpires and the time it can take will differ for every couple. While others can go through a fast-track divorce if they’re fortunate enough to have an amicable breakup, some may have a contentious divorce where it’s more complicated to settle sensitive and pressing issues.
Fortunately, you can get the same satisfactory legal service from Dallas Divorce Attorney regardless of the complexity of your specific divorce situation. Our Dallas divorce lawyers will represent you as you meet with the other party to draft and finalize a divorce agreement during a fast-track divorce. This way, you can ensure that all the terms you agreed on will be fair and good for your children (if there are any).
On the other hand, if you’re not on good terms with your former spouse, we can handle all the necessary legal actions starting from the serving of the papers until the final divorce decree. We will help you organize all the relevant paperwork to get an equitable court decision for issues such as asset division, spousal support, and child custody.
Moreover, we can assist you in filing a motion for modification should you see it necessary in the future. This way, agreements will be updated based on the changes in circumstances in both your and your former spouse’s life.
Child Custody & Child Support
In many divorce cases, the children are the most affected by the sudden changes in their family dynamics. And at Dallas Divorce Attorney, we understand how hard it can be for a parent to see their child suffer while protecting themselves from a problematic relationship. That is why if you work with us, we will put your child’s well-being on top of everything as we guide you toward a fair agreement on the type of child custody, visitation rights, and amount of child support.
To determine the appropriate child custody agreement, we will help make sure that the court considers all the needs of the children and the capabilities of each parent. Illnesses, incompetencies, substance abuse, and lack of resources of the spouses will be taken into account to ensure impartial decision-making. Whether you are the child’s mother, father, or grandparent, we can expertly advocate for your custody rights.
Additionally, it is our job to make sure that the amount of child support you’re paying or receiving is appropriate based on the number of children and the income of the paying parent. We can also file enforcement actions on your behalf if the paying parent ceased to provide support despite being capable of doing so. And if both or either of your financial situation changes down the road, our divorce lawyers can also advocate for your need for child support modifications.
Alimony & Spousal Support
Another aspect with which our Dallas divorce lawyers can expertly help you is in claiming fair spousal support. Whether you want to make sure that you’re paying no more than the amount of spousal support necessary or that you’re receiving no less than the support you deserve, our lawyers are here to help you secure an unbiased agreement.
According to Texas law, these are the three types of support that can be awarded during or after a divorce:
Temporary spousal support – While the divorce is still pending, the court may require the paying spouse to support the less financially stable spouse. The amount will be based on the reasonable needs of the receiving spouse.
Spousal maintenance – This type acts as temporary rehabilitative support that is given after a divorce. The amount of support will depend on the minimum reasonable needs of the receiving spouse as well as the duration of the marriage.
Contractual alimony – This isn’t something that is ordered by the court but is instead an agreement between you and your former spouse. Unlike spousal maintenance, the terms are not bound to the statutory limits stated in Texas law, and you could specify terms that fit you and your spouse’s particular wants and needs. This means that the support amount may be higher than the maximum amount set by Texas law ($5,000 or 20% of the payor’s average income), and the duration may also be longer than the maximum time the court could’ve ordered.
Asset & Property Division
Conflicts are commonly encountered during asset and property division for obvious reasons. Spouses may have different views on what each of them deserves, especially if bigger assets are at stake. Fortunately for you, our Dallas divorce lawyers at Dallas Divorce Attorney are extensively trained and experienced in successfully handling any kind of property division cases.
Aside from helping you gather relevant documents, we will help assess what properties are rightfully yours. We will efficiently locate, value, and divide all your marital assets, including complex assets such as:
- Real estate assets
- Professional practices
- Financial accounts
- Insurance policies
- Privately held businesses
- Publicly held companies
- Foreign assets
And if there are long-term assets involved, such as pension plans, employee benefits, and stock options, we will also help in characterizing, valuing, and dividing these.
Business Owner, High-Value, or High-Profile Divorce
While all divorce can have complications, these are more probable with high-profile couples or those who have large businesses under their names. The good news is that Dallas Divorce Attorney can help you finalize any high-value and high-profile divorce cases.
