Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Texas divorce take?
Texas has a 60-day waiting period from filing to finalization, though complex cases can take longer. Mediation and organized discovery can streamline timelines.
Do we have to go to court?
Many Southlake and Colleyville matters resolve in mediation without a trial. If trial is necessary, we are fully prepared to advocate in court.
What if we own a business or multiple properties?
We coordinate valuations, forensic accounting when appropriate, and creative solutions for buyouts or sales to protect value and minimize disruption.
Can orders be changed later?
Yes. Material and substantial changes in circumstances can justify modifications to custody or support. We also pursue enforcement if orders aren’t followed.
