Clear Answers When Everything Feels Uncertain
Divorce is emotional, but the decisions you make are financial and legal — and many are permanent. Who keeps the house? How are retirement accounts divided? What happens to the business? Where will the children live?
Whether your divorce is amicable or hard-fought, we help you understand your options, protect your interests, and reach a resolution as efficiently as possible. Most cases settle through negotiation or mediation; when they don’t, we are prepared for trial.

How We Guide Your Divorce
-
1
Uncontested divorce
When you agree on the terms, we draft and finalize a decree that protects you and holds up later.
-
2
Contested divorce
We build your case on property, custody, and support — and advocate firmly in mediation and court.
-
3
High-asset & business interests
We work with financial experts to value businesses, trace separate property, and divide retirement accounts.
-
4
Temporary orders
We secure interim arrangements for the home, bills, and children while the case is pending.
-
5
Post-divorce enforcement
If your ex-spouse won’t follow the decree, we enforce it.
Divorce Mediation
Most Texas divorces settle in mediation, and many family courts require it before a contested final trial. A neutral mediator helps you and your spouse work out property, support, and parenting terms in a confidential setting. We represent you at mediation with a qualified family law mediator, and when both spouses want a neutral, one of our trained mediators can mediate your case.
- 1
Preparation
Before mediation, we organize your inventory of assets and debts, your budget, and your parenting plan so you negotiate from facts, not fear.
- 2
Representation at the table
Your attorney stays with you for the entire session and tests every offer against what a court would likely order.
- 3
A binding agreement
A Texas mediated settlement agreement that meets the Family Code’s requirements is binding and generally cannot be revoked, so we review every term before you sign.
- 4
Safeguards for family violence
If there is a history of family violence, Texas law lets you object to court-ordered mediation, and safeguards such as separate rooms can be arranged.
