Frequently Asked Questions

Real questions from River Oaks and Inner Loop Houston families — answered honestly.

Costs & Fees

Attorney fees at our River Oaks office vary based on the complexity of your matter and whether it is contested or uncontested. Cases involving significant assets, business interests, or high-conflict custody require more attorney time than straightforward matters — and our fees reflect the work involved, not a one-size-fits-all rate. We offer free initial consultations so you can understand your situation and get a realistic cost picture before making any commitment. Call 281-519-6383 to speak with one of our attorneys.

Divorce & Property

Not automatically — but any retirement contributions made during the marriage are typically classified as community property in Texas. The pre-marital portion may be protected as separate property if it is properly documented and traced. Dividing a retirement account without triggering tax penalties requires a correctly drafted and court-approved QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order). For River Oaks clients with substantial retirement assets, this is one of the most critical documents in the divorce process. Our attorneys handle QDROs regularly.
Vacating the marital home before the divorce is finalized can be interpreted by Harris County courts as voluntarily surrendering your claim to that property — and it sets a custody pattern that is difficult to undo. If you move out and the children remain, the court may establish that as the residential baseline going forward. For Inner Loop Houston families with significant real estate holdings, this decision has even larger financial consequences. Talk to one of our River Oaks attorneys before making any moves.
Acting before getting legal advice. This includes moving out, liquidating joint accounts, posting on social media, signing any agreements — even temporary ones — or making unilateral financial decisions without understanding how those moves will look to a Harris County judge. Early legal advice is almost always far less expensive than trying to correct a mistake that is already on the record. Call 281-519-6383 for a free consultation before you do anything.

Custody & Child Support

Texas family law does not favor either parent based on gender. Courts apply a best-interest-of-the-child standard without presuming one parent over the other. In practice, 50/50 possession schedules are increasingly common in Harris County when both parents are stable, actively involved, and capable of cooperation. The Standard Possession Order gives non-primary parents the first, third, and fifth weekends, Thursday evenings during the school year, and extended summer time. Our River Oaks attorneys regularly advocate for fathers seeking expanded possession and know what arguments are most effective in Harris County courts.
Texas has strong enforcement mechanisms for unpaid child support, including automatic income withholding from the paying parent’s employer, bank account seizure, revocation of driver’s licenses and professional licenses, and jail time for willful non-compliance. If your co-parent is delinquent, our River Oaks attorneys can file an enforcement action in Harris County family courts and pursue the most effective remedy based on how far behind they are. Call 281-519-6383 to discuss your options.
Texas child support is calculated as a percentage of net monthly resources. For one child, the guideline is 20% of net resources — approximately $1,000 per month at a $5,000 gross income level after applicable deductions. For two children the guideline is 25%, three children 30%, four children 35%, and five or more children 40%. Courts may deviate from the guideline for extraordinary circumstances. Our River Oaks attorneys can provide a precise calculation for your specific income, custody arrangement, and applicable deductions.

Divorce & Property

Does my spouse automatically get half of my 401k in a Texas divorce?
Not automatically — but any retirement contributions made during the marriage are typically classified as community property in Texas. The pre-marital portion may be protected as separate property if it is properly documented and traced. Dividing a retirement account without triggering tax penalties requires a correctly drafted and court-approved QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order). For River Oaks clients with substantial retirement assets, this is one of the most critical documents in the divorce process. Our attorneys handle QDROs regularly.
Why do River Oaks divorce attorneys say leaving the house before your divorce is finalized is a mistake?
Vacating the marital home before the divorce is finalized can be interpreted by Harris County courts as voluntarily surrendering your claim to that property — and it sets a custody pattern that is difficult to undo. If you move out and the children remain, the court may establish that as the residential baseline going forward. For Inner Loop Houston families with significant real estate holdings, this decision has even larger financial consequences. Talk to one of our River Oaks attorneys before making any moves.

Custody & Child Support

Do fathers get 50/50 custody in Texas? What Houston dads need to know.
Texas family law does not favor either parent based on gender. Courts apply a best-interest-of-the-child standard without presuming one parent over the other. In practice, 50/50 possession schedules are increasingly common in Harris County when both parents are stable, actively involved, and capable of cooperation.

Our River Oaks attorneys regularly advocate for fathers seeking expanded possession and know what arguments are most effective in Harris County courts.
What is the deadbeat dad law in Texas — and can a River Oaks attorney help me enforce it?
Texas has strong enforcement mechanisms for unpaid child support, including automatic income withholding from the paying parent's employer, bank account seizure, revocation of driver's licenses and professional licenses, and jail time for willful non-compliance. If your co-parent is delinquent, our River Oaks attorneys can file an enforcement action in Harris County family courts and pursue the most effective remedy based on how far behind they are.

How much child support will I pay in Texas if I make $5,000 a month?
Texas child support is calculated as a percentage of net monthly resources. For one child, the guideline is 20% of net resources — approximately $1,000 per month at a $5,000 gross income level after applicable deductions.
