Family Law Attorney in Collin County

Frequently Asked Questions

How is custody determined in Collin County?

Custody is determined based on the best interest of the child, considering factors like each parent's ability to care for the child, the child's preferences (depending on age), and any history of domestic violence. Our family law attorneys guide you through this emotionally charged process, advocating for arrangements that uphold your child's welfare.

In addition to the basic considerations, Collin County courts also pay attention to the stability of each parent’s home environment and their ability to provide consistent care. We work closely with our clients to provide compelling evidence and articulate the strength of their parenting skills. Together, we develop a comprehensive plan that can clearly demonstrate why a proposed custody arrangement best serves the interests of the child, leveraging insights and expert witness testimony as needed.

What is considered community property in Texas?

Community property includes assets acquired during the marriage, such as income, property, and debts. Our lawyers are skilled in distinguishing between community and separate property to ensure fair division in divorce proceedings. This clarity is crucial for protecting your assets.

The intricacies of what constitutes community property can become highly technical, especially when it involves high-value assets or complex ownership structures. Our deep understanding of Texas property law allows us to provide advice that minimizes confusion and seeks to protect your rightful share. We conduct thorough financial reviews and enlist forensic accountants as needed to uncover and document all relevant information, ensuring transparency in all transactions.

Can mediation help in my divorce case?

Yes, mediation can be a valuable tool in resolving divorce amicably. It allows both parties to reach agreements collaboratively, often reducing the time and cost associated with traditional divorce proceedings. We offer mediation services to help our clients retain more control over the outcomes of their legal matters.

Mediation is not just a cost-effective alternative; it empowers both parties to maintain constructive dialogue and come to a mutual agreement that better addresses their needs. By structuring mediation sessions to address specific disputes and potential points of agreement, we help clients navigate emotional tensions while focusing on practical solutions. This method allows for a more personalized outcome and can significantly reduce the stress associated with courtroom litigation.

Do you handle high-asset divorces?

Absolutely. High-asset divorces require meticulous attention to financial details and strategic planning. We leverage our extensive experience to manage complex asset portfolios, ensuring that your financial future is protected throughout the divorce process.

High-asset cases often involve intricate financial structures, hidden assets, or joint business ventures. Our approach includes collaborating with financial experts and asset appraisers to attain the clearest picture of your financial situation. By acting proactively to manage asset division, tax implications, and any associated risks, we aim to secure a fair and comprehensive settlement that reflects both current conditions and future prosperity.
