Separation and Divorce of Married Couples
There is a legal difference between divorce and legal separation. Our Austin divorce lawyers can help married couples decide which option is best for them. A legal separation is defined as a married couple living apart while they are still legally married. Divorce is defined as the legal dissolution of the marriage bond.
There are several aspects we make sure are covered in our services to you. They are: spousal support, equitable distribution of property and child support (if applicable). We help couples go through these categories to make the process simpler and less difficult to determine.
Child Custody
In the case of divorce, couples can also get the expert advice of an Austin child custody lawyer. This is by far the most difficult aspect of divorce. It's also one of the most important. Children are affected heavily by the divorce of their parents. It's in the best interest of the child for the parents to come to some agreement about who the child will live is with, who will be the custodial parent and more. The details of this process can be expedited with help from a lawyer who has experience in coaching married people through child custody.
Fair Property Division
Our lawyers also work hard on behalf of clients to ensure you receive a fair share of property acquired while you were married. This includes, houses, vehicles, stocks and more. Spousal support may also be an option for the party that is determined to be eligible for receipt.
Equitable distribution can be simple depending on the needs and assets of the parties involved. All assets in the estate are considered. Results are determined based on each parties personal wealth and needs at the time. There are factors that will influence this decision such as who the custodial parent will be.
