Texas State Divorce Attorney

If you’re considering a divorce, you probably have a lot of questions. You might wonder, for example, how your property will be divided or who will get custody of the children.

A Texas State divorce attorney (an attorney who only practices divorce or “family” law) can help you find the answers. These attorneys have a vast amount of knowledge and experience in the complexities of divorce law.

For example, a Texas State divorce attorney can help you figure out how your property will be divided between you and your spouse. The attorney can explain that Texas courts distinguish between “community property” (property that belongs to both spouses and must be divided during the divorce) and “separate property” (property that belongs to one spouse only and cannot be divided during the divorce).

Additionally, a Texas State divorce attorney will understand that Texas courts look at several factors when awarding child custody and often presume joint custody is best for the children. The attorney can help you avoid this joint custody presumption (if necessary) and act to protect your interests and the interests of your children.

Here at McKinley Irvin, our Texas State divorce attorneys have the knowledge and experience to help answer these questions as they guide you through the complexities of divorce law. More importantly, they are compassionate people who can see beyond the law and the cold, hard facts to the people, priceless children, and human emotions underneath. From the most impersonal and dry parts of property division to the most personal and intimate parts of divorce and child custody, we believe compassion is one of the most important aspects of the attorney-client relationship.

Only by understanding these nuances can a Texas divorce lawyer truly be your guide through the complex divorce process. If you’re looking for a Texas divorce lawyer, please consider how well you think that person can handle both the difficult legal issues and the very important personal issues. The unique emotional circumstances of divorce cases demand subtle and experienced handling of difficult issues, something at which McKinley Irvin divorce attorneys excel.
