Family Law & Divorce

Frequently Asked Questions
  • How much spousal support will the court order?
    While the amount and duration of spousal support will always depend on the facts of your case, there are certain limitations the court has when ordering spousal support. First, it cannot be over 20 percent of a paying party’s gross income, or $5,000.00 each month, whichever is lower. Next, the duration of support will depend on the length of the marriage. For marriages of 10-20 years, spousal support can be up to five years. Marriages between 20-30 years could have seven years of support, while marriages over 30 years could have spousal support ordered for up to ten years.
  • 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 joint custody and sole custody?
    In Texas, joint managing conservatorship is the default position of the courts. Usually, it is in the best interest of the child to have both parents equally involved in their lives. Joint managing conservatorship means both parents will have joint rights and duties as it relates to the children although some rights may be given exclusively to one parent (education and medical for example). Sole custody means that only one parent will get the exclusive right to make most decisions for the children but the other parent will still have visitation rights. In order to get sole managing conservatorship, a party must demonstrate that it will not be in the best interest of the child to have joint custody. Usually, this involves showing the court that there has been some abuse or neglect by a parent.

    - Former Client
    “If I EVER need an attorney for anything else (within his line of work) I will definitely be contacting Mr. Dieye again.”
    I had a bad experience with a prior attorney who ended up dropping my divorce/custody case mid way and leaving me high and dry to figure it out for myself. I recieved Papa Dieye's (Jay) information from a family friend. Papa Jay is always on top of things and was very prompt with returning phone calls and keeping me in the loop. 2 days after I obtained his legal services we were already in court finalizing my divorce! I have already referred Papa Jay to a handful of people and if I EVER need an attorney for anything else (within his line of work) I will definitely be contacting Mr. Dieye again. Needless to say it was a very pleasant experience and Mr. Dieye is super nice.
