This is an Austin TX divorce where the parties cannot agree on some or all of the terms and the divorce must be decided by a judge.

Our board certified family law attorneys know how to navigate contested cases with sensitivity, compassion, and expertise. We'll take care of every aspect of your case so you can focus on what matters most: your life after divorce.

Agreed or Uncontested Divorce

This is a divorce where the parties have agreed on all of the terms, and the divorce can be finalized without a court hearing. Uncontested means that you and your spouse can agree on all of the terms of your divorce before filing in court. Agreed divorces are similar to uncontested divorce (also typically no fault divorce) in that they are relatively easy because both spouses agree that they want out of the marriage.

Collaborative Divorce

Sometimes parties want to try and reach a divorce settlement without going to court with traditional litigation. In collaborative law, parties sign contracts to try and resolve their divorce with professional help. They can be very helpful when there is a high level of trust between the divorcing spouses. Couples whose legal process have been collaborative generally report that they have been able to preserve valuable family relationships.

Prenuptial Agreements

If you are considering marriage, it might be a good idea to have a premarital agreement, commonly called a “prenup,” in place. This is an agreement between both spouses that outlines what would happen if they were to get divorced. It can help to avoid future disagreements about property division, alimony, and other issues.

Child Custody Modifications

In some cases, a one spouse or parent may feel that the custody agreement they have with their child's other parent does not work as well as it should on or if the situation goes against the best interests of the children. In those cases, they may be able to ask for a custody modification. But this is only possible under specific circumstances and if you are going through this process yourself, it is important to speak with an experienced divorce lawyer first.

Same Sex Divorce

If you and your partner are in a same-sex marriage and decide to divorce, it is important to consult with an experienced divorce attorney. The court will consider how the couple's marital property should be divided as well as parenting time issues. It's also important to keep in mind that certain rights, such as spousal benefits, may not apply if you were married in a state that does not recognize same-sex marriages or whose laws prohibit such unions.

Child Support Modifications

If you are currently receiving child support, but need help supporting your children due to a change in circumstances, it may be possible to seek a child support modification. Whether or not this is an option will depend on what led to the change in circumstances and there are several factors that must be considered before. If you don't know how the process works or would like more information about how it affects your situation, contact our board certified Texas family law attorneys today.
