Divorce in Texas
Under Texas law, grounds for divorce are either fault or no fault. After evaluating the circumstances surrounding your divorce, we will legally advise you regarding the grounds most appropriate for your situation. While couples in some states may decide to legally separate rather than divorce, legal separation is not recognized under Texas law. We will listen to your concerns regarding divorce, explain the legal issues involved and help you to make informed decisions about the areas of your life affected by divorce, such as child custody and visitation, child support, property and debt division or alimony.
Alternatives to Courtroom Trials
Characterized by conflict, courtroom trials often create a negative impact on everyone’s emotions, children and spouses alike. Our law firm provides clients with alternatives to courtroom litigation such as collaborative law and mediation. Please see our Collaborative Law and Mediation section for more information. Once you get an idea of what these approaches entail, you may want to discuss them as alternatives to courtroom litigation with our family law attorney, V. Wayne Ward. He can help you understand how collaborative law or mediation might benefit you.
In some cases couples may find that a trial is the only means to resolve their differences and reach a divorce settlement. With close to thirty years of experience in family, our law firm is a good choice to advocate your interests in divorce court.
Whether your case is simple or complex, you can count on our know-how and legal skills to help you meet your objective and protect your best interests.
