As a general rule a divorce in Texas cannot be granted for at least 60 days from the date the divorce petition is filed.    To file in Texas you must also live in the County where you want to file for 60 days and in the State of Texas for 6 months.  Generally a divorce cannot be granted if one of the parties is pregnant or in a pending bankruptcy proceedings. 

 

 

Mediation and Conflict Resolution 

Mediation is process that allows parties with a dispute, whether there is a court case pending or not to resolve the dispute with a binding written settlement agreement.   This agreement can then be approved in court and it becomes and order of the court.   Mediation is now the process of choice for many attorneys and judges to clear backlogged dockets and resolve cases without incurring expensive legal fees.  

 

Real Property and Estate Issues

Real property does not always  automatically pass to surviving spouses.  Deeds and titles must be cleared and legal steps taken to assure that property passes to heirs of someones' estate.  If no will exists, Texas estate law determines to whom the property passes.  We have handled numerous cases where a loved one passes years ago only to have the title to their homes unresolved.  There are options to leaving property to your family other than through a will..
