FAQ

What is the process for filing for divorce in Texas?

To file for divorce in Texas, one spouse must have been a resident of the state for at least six months and a resident of the county in which the petition is filed for at least 90 days. The filing process begins with the submission of a Petition for Divorce to the local district court.

How is child custody determined in Texas?

In Texas, child custody, known as 'conservatorship,’ is determined based on the best interest of the child. Factors considered include the child's health, safety, and welfare, as well as each parent's ability to care for the child. Both joint and sole conservatorships are possible.

Texas is a community property state, meaning all property acquired during the marriage is considered jointly owned and is usually divided equally during a divorce. However, courts will consider factors such as fault in the breakup and earning potential when dividing property.
