Divorce

tell us about your case

Divorce brings a mix of emotions and uncertainty about the future, making it difficult to know where to turn. The process can feel overwhelming as you face decisions that could impact your life for years to come. At Springer & Lyle, we recognize the difficulties of divorce and are committed to providing you with the support and guidance you need throughout every stage of the process

Understanding Divorce in Texas

Texas is a no-fault divorce state, meaning you don’t need to prove fault to end a marriage. The court can grant a divorce based on irreconcilable differences, making the process smoother. However, complexities often arise when it comes to dividing assets, determining child custody, and settling financial matters. This is why it’s crucial to have an experienced divorce attorney who can navigate these challenges with you.

What to Expect During a Divorce

The divorce process begins with filing a petition, followed by serving the other party. Once both parties are aware of the petition, several legal steps occur, such as temporary orders, discovery, and possibly mediation. At each stage, quick decisions can have long-lasting impacts, especially when it comes to temporary orders.

Temporary orders determine how things will function during the divorce process—such as who will live in the family home, who will care for the children, and how bills will be paid. It is important to have skilled attorneys like the family law team at Springer & Lyle who can represent you at these hearings. Once temporary orders are established, they can set the status quo, making it difficult to reverse them later.

Protecting Your Financial Future

Divorce often brings concerns about finances. You may wonder how you’ll afford your current living expenses or what will happen to your retirement savings. At Springer & Lyle, we make sure you are well informed about the financial aspects of your divorce. From spousal maintenance (alimony) to the division of retirement accounts, we help you understand your rights and make strategic decisions to protect your future.

Texas follows the community property rule, which means that most assets acquired during the marriage are divided equally. However, not all property is split 50/50, and some assets, like retirement funds, require special handling. Our attorneys ensure that your financial interests are protected throughout the divorce process.

Child Support and Custody

If children are involved in the divorce, determining child support and custody becomes a priority. Texas courts prioritize the best interest of the child, but each family’s situation is unique. At Springer & Lyle, we work with you to develop a custody arrangement that aligns with your child’s needs and ensures that your parental rights are upheld.

Child support is another critical issue in divorce cases involving children. Texas law follows specific guidelines for determining child support based on the parent’s income and the number of children. We ensure that you receive or pay the proper amount based on these guidelines and that your child’s financial well-being is secure.

Why You Need an Experienced Attorney

Divorce can move quickly, and each decision you make can impact your future. Without experienced legal help, you might find yourself making choices that could hurt you later on. At Springer & Lyle, we understand how fast things can change, especially during temporary orders hearings. These decisions are vital as they affect where you live, who cares for your children, and your financial security.

Our team is always ready to step in and represent you when you need us. Whether you need to protect your right to stay in your home or ensure you can see your children, we act quickly to secure the best results for your situation.

Contact Springer & Lyle

At Springer & Lyle, we recognize that divorce is not just a legal process—it’s an emotional journey. You might be uncertain about where you’ll live, how you’ll manage your expenses, and what retirement funds will be available to you. Our team of professionals communicate with you throughout your case, allowing you to make informed decisions about these critical issues.
