Do’s and Don’ts When Getting Divorced

divorce lawyer

The divorce process involves legalities, documentation and a specific process that must be adhered to so it is important to have an understanding of what your Texas county requires before you get started on this life defining experience. This information may be available online but is best obtained from a qualified divorce attorney who understands the law and can prepare you for the required steps going forward.

Houston, TX, is a well-known city and hosts many excellent lawyers that specialize in family law but finding the one that is right for you is necessary so that you are comfortable with sharing the required information and willing to follow their instructions. These individuals are familiar with the rules and regulations and can provide a comprehensive list of do’s and don’ts so that you can avoid the common pitfalls in this process.

While a divorce is between two people there are times when kids are involved and this always complicates the steps involved. Typically, both parties are required to take a parenting class and even attend mediation to help ensure that the best interests of the child (ren) are considered when discussing parenting time, visitation and child support. Documentation and filing deadlines are a critical part of the process and if not performed correctly then your case could be weakened or damaged. Make sure that your attorney has practiced in the county where you intend on filing and that they have a solid reputation for defending their clients and providing successful results. A judge’s courtroom is his domain and they expect courtesy and respect from anyone who will be presenting a case so you should always arrive early and dressed in a professional manner if you expect to be taken seriously.

Divorce law in Houston, TX may be fundamentally similar to that in surrounding counties and throughout the state but it is important to work with an attorney that has actually practiced and is familiar with the judges in this circuit. This knowledge of the personalities and quirks can make a difference in how the case is presented and help you get further within the boundaries of the law in making your case.
