Comprehensive Divorce Help

Under Texas law, divorces are granted on a no-fault basis. However, it is important to keep in mind that Texas does not recognize "legal separation" -- you're either married or your're not.

The divorce process begins when one party files a petition. In some situations, it may be possible to reach an amicable agreement between the parties without having to go through the expense and anguish of litigation. For some individuals, this can be efficient, less costly and relatively amicable method to reaching divorce settlement agreements. If the parties can agree on most issues, it is possible to do an uncontested divorce.

However, if the parties cannot reach an amicable agreement, we will pursue litigation. You can be assured that we will fight to protect your interests and obtain the best results possible.

Divorce settlement agreements can include the following items:

• Property division: Community property (assets and debts acquired during the course of the marriage) is divided equitably. Our firm will protect your rights to ensure that your economic and non-economic contributions are fully considered.
• Child support: Child support in Texas is determined by statutory guidelines that consider factors such as each parent's income, time spent with the children and any special needs of the children. Our firm also represents parents in modification proceedings when circumstances warrant a change in the child support order.
• Child custody: Our firm handles initial determination and modification of child custody and visitation arrangements. The "best interest of the child" is the standard for determining and modifying custody. The law recognizes that the involvement of both parents is important to raising the child and that both parents should have fair access to the child. However, where there is evidence of abuse of neglect, Attorney Peña is prepared to fight to sever ties if needed.
