Welcome to the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, your trusted legal partner for handling divorce proceedings throughout Texas.

Our goal is always to protect your interests and help you achieve the best possible outcomes.

UNDERSTANDING DIVORCE IN TEXAS

LEGAL GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE

Divorce involves many critical legal issues that need careful attention and resolution:

Property Division: Texas follows community property laws, meaning marital assets and debts are typically divided equally. However, fair division can involve complex evaluations and negotiations.

Child Custody and Support: Protecting your children’s well-being is paramount. Our firm vigorously represents your parental rights, advocating for custody arrangements and support obligations that prioritize your children’s best interests.

Spousal Support (Alimony): Depending on the circumstances, courts may award spousal support to maintain economic fairness. We diligently advocate on your behalf to secure equitable arrangements.

KEY ISSUES IN TEXAS DIVORCE CASES

According to Texas Family Code, there are several grounds for divorce, including:

No-Fault Divorce: Most divorces in Texas fall under this category, citing “insupportability”—meaning the marriage cannot continue due to conflicts or discord without expectation of reconciliation.

Fault-Based Divorce: Grounds such as adultery, cruelty, abandonment, felony conviction, or confinement in a mental hospital can significantly influence the outcomes related to property division, alimony, and custody arrangements.

POTENTIAL STRATEGIES FOR FAVORABLE DIVORCE OUTCOMES

Every divorce case is unique, and at The Law Office of Bryan Fagan, we develop tailored strategies focused on your priorities and circumstances:

Negotiation and Mediation: Whenever possible, we aim for amicable solutions through skilled negotiation or mediation, saving you time, stress, and financial resources.

Aggressive Litigation: When an amicable resolution isn’t feasible, we provide strong, effective courtroom advocacy, vigorously defending your rights and interests throughout litigation.

How long does it take to finalize a divorce in Texas?

The minimum waiting period for a divorce in Texas is 60 days from the date the petition is filed. However, the actual time varies depending on whether the divorce is contested or uncontested, and the complexity of issues involved.

Community property generally includes any assets or debts acquired by either spouse during the marriage, except for gifts or inheritances. This includes income, real estate, retirement accounts, and more.

Not necessarily. Many divorces can be resolved through negotiation or mediation outside of court. However, if an agreement can’t be reached, court appearances may be necessary to resolve disputed issues.

 

Texas courts base custody decisions on the best interests of the child. Factors considered include the child’s physical and emotional needs, parental involvement, stability of each household, and sometimes the child’s own preferences.

Spousal support is not guaranteed in Texas. It may be awarded if one spouse lacks sufficient property or income post-divorce and meets specific legal requirements, such as having a disability, being a long-term homemaker, or being a victim of family violence.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CONTESTED AND UNCONTESTED

Understanding the type of divorce you’re facing is essential in preparing for the legal process ahead:

Contested vs. Uncontested

Whether your divorce is contested or uncontested, having legal representation ensures that your rights are protected and that the final resolution aligns with your best interests. Our team works diligently to reduce stress, clarify expectations, and create legally sound agreements that support your long-term stability and peace of mind.

CONTESTED

A contested divorce arises when spouses cannot agree on one or more key issues. These cases often require court intervention and may involve more extensive negotiation or litigation. The Law Office of Bryan Fagan provides assertive representation to protect your interests and guide you through each step of a contested divorce.

UNCONTESTED

In an uncontested divorce, both spouses agree on all major terms, including property division, child custody, and support. These cases are typically resolved more quickly, with less conflict and reduced legal costs. Our firm can help ensure all agreements are properly drafted and filed.
