Preparing for Divorce: What You Need to Know

Understanding the distinction between uncontested and contested divorces helps you prepare for the process ahead. An uncontested divorce is based on insupportability; neither spouse must prove fault. A contested divorce involves disagreements necessitating judicial resolution. Our lawyers guide you through either path with equal dedication and skill. Factors you should know:

• Waiting Period: Texas requires a mandatory 60-day waiting period from the filing date before finalizing any divorce. During this time, we work diligently to prepare your case and negotiate favorable terms.
• Community and Separate Property: Texas follows community property principles, meaning most assets acquired during marriage belong equally to both spouses. Separate property includes assets owned before marriage, inheritances, and certain gifts received during marriage.

Our attorneys excel at analyzing complex property situations to ensure accurate classification and fair distribution. We understand how Texas courts approach these matters and use this knowledge to protect your financial interests throughout the divorce process.

Family Law Matters in Divorce

Divorce involves many legal matters that call for professional legal attention and strategic planning. Every case carries distinct challenges, requiring personalized strategies to fit your family’s circumstances. Our thorough approach ensures all aspects receive proper consideration and resolution.

Child-Related Matters

When children are involved, their well-being becomes the primary focus of divorce proceedings. Texas courts make decisions based on the best interests of the child. We advocate fiercely for arrangements that protect both your parental rights and your children's stability:

• Child Custody: Texas recognizes two types of conservatorship: joint managing conservatorship and sole managing conservatorship. 
• Child Support: Child support calculations follow state guidelines, considering both parents' incomes and the time each parent spends with the children. 

Our Jarell divorce lawyers understand the emotional weight of child-related decisions and provide empathetic yet strategic counsel throughout divorce proceedings. We work toward solutions that maintain strong parent-child relationships while ensuring children receive adequate financial support.

Property and Financial Matters

The division of marital assets and debts significantly benefits from experienced legal analysis and skilled negotiation to achieve equitable results. Texas courts consider numerous factors when dividing community property, including each spouse's earning capacity, health, and contributions to the marriage. Our attorneys evaluate all assets and investigate hidden assets to ensure nothing gets overlooked during division proceedings:

• Division of Assets: We identify and value all community property, including real estate, retirement accounts, businesses, and investments. Our team works with financial experts when necessary to obtain accurate valuations and propose fair division strategies.
• Division of Debts:  Like assets, marital debts require division, and we ensure responsible allocation based on each party's ability to pay. We protect you from unfair debt burdens while negotiating reasonable payment arrangements.
• Spousal Maintenance: Texas has strict requirements for spousal maintenance, limiting both eligibility and duration. Our Jarell divorce attorney team evaluates whether you qualify to receive or may need to pay maintenance based on statutory factors.

Our thorough financial assessment helps you understand the long-term implications of various settlement options. The Law Office of Brett H. Pritchard prioritizes your financial security as we negotiate fair property division and support arrangements.

Support Modifications and Enforcement

Life changes after divorce may necessitate modifications to existing orders. At the same time, non-compliance requires enforcement action. Our dedicated Jarell divorce attorneys handle both modification and enforcement proceedings with equal dedication to protecting your interests:

• Modification of child support.
• Modification of custody arrangements.
• Enforcement of property division orders.
• Enforcement of support obligations.
• Contempt proceedings for non-compliance.

We understand the procedural requirements and substantive standards governing these post-divorce matters. Our award-winning divorce lawyers stay current with evolving court procedures and legal precedents to ensure effective representation in modification and enforcement proceedings.
