FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Get the Answers You’re Looking For

How Is Child Custody Determined in Denton County?

Texas courts start from the assumption that both parents should share decision-making, known as joint managing conservatorship, unless there’s a reason it wouldn’t serve the child’s best interest. Judges weigh factors like each parent’s involvement, stability, and the child’s needs when shaping a parenting schedule. Every family’s situation is different, so it helps to talk through your specific circumstances with an attorney early on.

How Is Child Support Calculated in Texas?

Texas uses statutory guidelines based primarily on the paying parent’s net income and the number of children involved. Courts can adjust the standard calculation for circumstances like medical needs or travel costs tied to visitation. An attorney can walk you through how these guidelines are likely to apply to your case.

What Happens to Our Property in a Divorce?

Texas is a community property state, meaning most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are divided between spouses, though not necessarily 50/50. Property owned before the marriage, along with gifts and inheritances, is generally treated separately. Sorting out what counts as community versus separate property is often one of the more detailed parts of a divorce.

What Is Conservatorship, and How Does It Affect My Case?

“Conservatorship” is the Texas legal term for custody, covering who makes decisions about a child’s education, healthcare, and upbringing. Parents can be named joint managing conservators, sharing these rights, or the court can designate a sole managing conservator when circumstances call for it. The right arrangement depends heavily on your family’s specific dynamics.

How Long Does a Divorce with Children Take in Texas?

Texas law requires a minimum 60-day waiting period after filing before a divorce can be finalized, but cases involving children and property often take longer. An uncontested case where both parents agree on custody and support can move relatively quickly, while disputes over children or assets add time. Our team works to keep your case moving efficiently while protecting what matters most to your family.
