Texas family law is shaped by community property rules, mandatory divorce waiting periods, and conservatorship terminology that differs from custody language used in many other states. Whether you are navigating divorce, child support, or property division, working with a Texas-licensed attorney helps you understand how local courts apply the Family Code.
Board-certified family law attorneys have demonstrated substantial experience and passed a rigorous examination administered by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization (TBLS).
Common Questions
How is property divided in a Texas divorce?
Texas is a community property state, meaning assets acquired during the marriage are generally split equitably (not necessarily 50/50) by the court. Separate property — assets owned before marriage, inherited, or received as gifts — remains with the original owner.
What is the difference between custody and conservatorship in Texas?
Texas uses "conservatorship" rather than "custody." A managing conservator makes major decisions; a possessory conservator has scheduled visitation time.
How long does a divorce take in Texas?
Texas requires a minimum 60-day waiting period. Uncontested divorces may finish shortly after; contested cases can take six months or longer.
