Types of Divorce Cases We Handle
Contested Divorce
Disagreements require negotiation, mediation, or court involvement. Contested divorces may take longer and involve hearings or trial.
Uncontested Divorce
When spouses agree on all the terms of the divorce. These cases are usually faster and less expensive.
No-Fault Divorce
Divorce granted where neither party is found to be responsible for the divorce.
Fault Divorce
When a spouse is found to be responsible for the failure of the marriage.
Mediated Divorce
The process of using a neutral party to negotiate the terms of the divorce instead of going to court.
Default Divorce
A divorce that is granted when one party does not respond to notice of the divorce proceedings.
How the Texas Divorce Process Works
Every divorce is different, but most Texas divorces follow the same general path. The case begins when one spouse files an Original Petition for Divorce. The other spouse is then formally served or signs a waiver of service. From there, the parties may exchange financial information and other documents, address temporary issues involving children, support, or property, and work toward a final agreement.
If the parties cannot agree, the court may be asked to decide disputed issues. Many divorce cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation before trial. Once all issues are settled or decided by the court, a Final Decree of Divorce is signed that sets out the terms of the divorce.
An experienced Amarillo divorce lawyer can help you understand each step, avoid unnecessary delays, and make sure important issues are addressed before the case is finalized.
Child Custody and Support
When a divorce involves children, the court must address conservatorship, possession and access, child support, and medical and dental support. In Texas, custody decisions are based on the best interests of the child.
Depending on the circumstances, parents may agree on a parenting plan or ask the court to decide issues such as where the child will live, how important decisions will be made, and when each parent will have possession of the child. Child support is generally based on Texas guidelines, although the amount can vary depending on the facts of the case.
David Enos represents parents in Amarillo divorce and custody cases involving both agreed and contested parenting arrangements. The goal is to protect your parental rights while working toward a practical arrangement that provides stability for your children.
Property Division in a Texas Divorce
Texas is a community-property state, but that does not necessarily mean every asset and debt will be divided exactly 50/50. The court is required to divide the community estate in a manner it considers just and right based on the circumstances of the case.
Property issues may involve a home, vehicles, retirement accounts, bank accounts, businesses, investments, personal property, and debts. A divorce may also involve claims that certain property is separate property or that one spouse should be reimbursed for money or assets contributed during the marriage.
Careful identification and valuation of property can be one of the most important parts of a divorce. David Enos helps clients understand what property may be subject to division and works to protect their financial interests throughout the divorce process.
