The matters agreed to will include the cause for the divorce; usually that the divorce is no one\u2019s fault, simply irreconcilable differences.<\/p>\n Also in an uncontested divorce, the allocation of the following parental rights and duties<\/a> are agreed to:<\/p>\n The court has also established the amount of child support<\/a> and the provision of medical insurance for the child.<\/p>\n The court also identified the marital assets, such as the family home and retirement benefits, along with the debts, and has created a division plan.<\/p>\n An agreed divorce is usually best for all.

During and after a divorce, parenting time and custody issues can become complicated. Importantly, there are two forms of child custody:<\/p>\n In a divorce, you must decide how both you and your spouse will divide these duties.<\/p>\n Depending on your circumstances, joint or sole custody might be best. When there is joint custody, both parents share the responsibility of caring for a child. In a sole custody situation, however, only one parent has physical and\/or legal custody of a child. The other parent might have visitation rights.<\/p>\n Ideally, divorcing spouses will negotiate a parenting plan outside of court. Your divorce lawyer might encourage you to mediate your child custody issues. They may work with a trained dispute resolution expert to negotiate a fair parenting plan. However, if this is unsuccessful, the court will evaluate situation and award custody based on your child\u2019s best interests.<\/p>\n Once the court issues the order, you must abide by its child custody plan. If you violate the custody order, you might face criminal charges and other penalties. However, you can petition the court to modify a child custody order under certain circumstances. For more information about child custody, contact an experienced divorce lawyer.<\/p>\n Parents have a legal obligation to financially support their children. While most parents don\u2019t disagree with this statement, child support can quickly become a contentious issue. Texas expects non-custodial parents to pay a percentage of their income in child support. This percentage varies, depending on the number of children involved.<\/p>\n This might sound simple. But calculating a parent\u2019s income can quickly become complicated, especially if it is variable due to commission-based income or bonus structures. Other times, parents try to hide income to avoid large child support payments.<\/p>\n At\u00a0Alsandor\u00a0Law Firm, we work closely with our clients, investigating each parent\u2019s income and demanding full compliance with Texas child support laws. We also help parents modify and terminate child support orders when their financial circumstances change.<\/p>\n Just like child custody, parents can sometimes agree to a child support structure out of court. This is typically in your best interest, since court cases can become emotional and\u00a0difficult. This is especially true when children are involved. However, we are always prepared to fully litigate child support and other divorce-related issues. Contact\u00a0Alsandor\u00a0Law Firm today to learn more about our approach to child support issues and disputes.<\/p>\n As part of your divorce, you\u2019ll need to divide up your marital property and debt. Texas is a community property state. This means that if you cannot agree on how to divide your assets, the judge will distribute them in a way that is \u201cjust and right.\u201d This means that the judge will assess:<\/p>\n This is a complicated analysis and you need a skilled divorce lawyer advocating on your behalf. Sometimes a spouse will argue that an asset is separate property \u2014 and not part of the marital estate \u2014 in an attempt to avoid its distribution. At The\u00a0Alsandor\u00a0Law Firm, we thoroughly evaluate and investigate property division issues. We will fight to get you your fair share.<\/p>\n Sometimes, spouses entered a nuptial agreement before or during their marriage. You sign a prenuptial agreement before you marry, while you enter into a\u00a0postnuptial\u00a0agreement during the marriage. These nuptial agreements outline which assets and debts are separate property \u2014 and cannot be divided during a divorce.<\/p>\n A valid nuptial agreement can help streamline your property division issues. However, not every nuptial agreement is valid. If someone forced you into signing the agreement or it contains certain illegal provisions, it might not be legally binding. If you have questions about the validity or enforcement of a nuptial agreement, contact a divorce lawyer immediately. A divorce lawyer can carefully review your agreement. They can also help you understand whether it will stand up in a court.<\/p>\n If you recently received divorce papers, you should immediately contact a divorce lawyer for assistance. If you do not respond to the complaint in a timely manner, you might lose your right to dispute your spouse\u2019s allegations or demands. At\u00a0Alsandor\u00a0Law Firm, we can help you interpret the paperwork and draft an answer, as well as build a comprehensive strategy for your divorce. We know that you might feel alone right now \u2014 we\u2019re here to help.<\/p>\nUncontested Divorce<\/h2>\n
