Family Law & Divorce

Frequently Asked Questions
  • When is a party entitled to receive spousal support?
    In Texas, courts are generally reluctant to award spousal support. A party will only receive court-ordered spousal support if the marriage has lasted ten years or longer and the spouse made diligent efforts to either earn sufficient income or to develop necessary skills while the divorce is pending to meet his or her minimum reasonable needs; or the other spouse has committed family violence; or the requesting spouse has an incapacitating disability that arose during marriage; or a child of the marriage (of any age) has a physical or mental disability that prevents the spouse who cares for and supervises the child from earning sufficient income.
  • How much is child support if it is ordered?
    Texas uses a specific formula to determine the amount of child support. It is based on a parent's gross income and the number of children that the parent has. The possession schedule has no bearing on child support, nor does the recipient spouse's income. That is because child support is the right of the child and not the other parent. It is important to remember that the formula is merely a guideline.
  • What is the difference between a contested and an uncontested case?
    Contested cases mean that the spouses cannot agree on something (or sometimes, on anything). Depending on how contentious the case is, this might require a formal exchange of documents, multiple hearings, and attempts at mediation before the case can be finalized. An uncontested divorce means the couple has agreed on everything, from the division of their property to children’s issues. These divorce cases are usually disposed of quickly.
