FAMILY LAW FAQs

Why can't I just settle my divorce on my own?

Although it is entirely possible for you to file for divorce without legal assistance, we highly discourage you from doing so. Even if your spouse seems cooperative and agreeable at present, there is no way of knowing for sure if he or she will remain cooperative throughout the entire divorce process. With so much on the line, such as your child custody rights and assets, you cannot afford to take any chances. Having a lawyer on your side can only be beneficial because your rights and interests will be protected. In addition, having a lawyer can help you remain calm and level-headed.

My spouse is not paying for child support as agreed in court. What are my options?

If your spouse is not paying child support as mandated in a court order, we can help you enforce that court order. Failing to obey a court order may be punishable by jail time and fines. We will do everything possible to make your former partner comply with an existing court order.

Will I Get Joint Custody?

In Texas, joint custody is referred to as joint managing conservatorship (JMC). Frequently, because the courts believe that both parents should be equally involved in their child’s lives, each parent will be made a joint managing conservator. A standard possession order (SPO) will then be created that outlines each parent’s rights and responsibilities.

How Much Does It Cost To Get Divorced?

This is probably the most common divorce question. The answer is different for everyone. It depends on what issues you have. Do you have children? If so, you will need to deal with the issue of custody. How will your property be divided? Do you own a business together? What if one of you needs spousal support? Is there a post nuptial or a prenuptial agreement? All of these factors impact the cost of your divorce. The best way to find out what cost you’re looking at is to call our office.

How Long Will a Divorce Take?

The answer for this divorce question is similar to the question above. It depends on your unique situation. Our Firm will need to know of any estate plans, businesses or property you and your spouse own. Attorney Damaris Chavez will also need to consider any children and custody agreements involved. It depends on how much you and your spouse agree upon. If you go through mediation or collaboration, it could take less time than going through litigation.

Will I Have to Go to Court?

You may not need to go to court if you are able to resolve issues and division of assets through mediation or collaboration. This is an ideal situation, and all papers can be filed with the court with an affidavit to prove-up your case with the Court. Depending on which court your case is assigned to, you may still be required to show up for a hearing in these cases.
