Dallas Divorce Attorney

For your sake, we hope the answer is “no.”

No, I do not need a divorce.

But, if the answer is “yes,” you might find yourself asking, “Do I need a Dallas divorce attorney, or can I do this alone?”

Some people can do this alone. Despite the stress of their separation, the spouses continue to communicate well enough to decide who should get the children, money, and property. Or, they have no children and very little money or property and do not worry about child support, spousal maintenance (formerly called alimony), or dividing real estate and other assets. These lucky people are able to avoid the time and money spent on a divorce battle, end the relationship, and move on.

Unfortunately, these divorces are rare. Heightened emotions and the stress of separation combined with indecisions about child custody and the division of property can make divorces complicated and difficult. Even the divorces that seemed simple in the beginning can sometimes turn into the ugliest battles, leading to more time and money spent in the long run.

Speaking to a McKinley Irvin Dallas attorney at the beginning of your divorce, even if only for a one-hour consultation, can help you avoid those extra complications. At a consultation, one of our Dallas divorce attorneys will: 1) listen carefully and thoughtfully to your story, 2) ask questions to help you decide how you want to resolve any custody, support, and property issues, and 3) advise you about what you can expect from the Texas divorce process.

If, after the consultation, you decide to continue working with our Dallas divorce lawyer, you will gain a trusted advisor and a guide through the complexities of Texas divorce law. The attorney will be your sword – fighting for what you want and deserve, and your shield – protecting you, your rights, and your future.

Divorce is hard, but you do not have to do it alone. In a time when your world might feel a little upside down, an attorney can help you feel a little more in control. A McKinley Irvin Dallas divorce attorney already knows the legal world and can guide you through it as you put your own personal world back together.

We hope you do not need a divorce. But if you do, McKinley Irvin is here to help. To learn more or schedule a consultation, contact McKinley Irvin today.
