Are You Sure You Want to Litigate?In Texas, you can be divorced no sooner than 60 days after filing, even in a no-fault divorce. Your case will be set for trial between 9 and 15 months after the filing date (if you don't settle before then). Most people discover that litigation is cost-prohibitive and emotionally exhaustive, and the judge has the ultimate say anyway. An out-of-court resolution is preferable, but with our capable legal representation you don't have to sacrifice your rights. Division of Property in TexasTexas courts presume a 50-50 split of marital assets. However, these percentages may be varied according to the facts of your case, and the skill with which these facts are presented to the court by your attorney. I have such experience in both complex asset cases and low-asset divorces, and I advise clients when it's not worth fighting over. As a veteran attorney, I negotiate creative solutions to capture your fair share of property and possessions, while taking everything into account:
If you are selling the home, we address asking price, who will act as the agent, and how proceeds will be split. After divorce, the other party's actions can ruin your credit — we make sure your name is taken off the house and other assets and debts. Alimony in TexasAlimony is rarely awarded in Texas divorce, except in marriages of 10 years or more in which the receiving spouse has few assets and low earning capacity. Even then, the duration of alimony is limited to three years to cover training for financial independence. Yet, the amount and duration of alimony awarded may depart from these general rules if you retain a lawyer with a combination of skill, creativity, and experience. The Law Office of Donald E. Robinowitz has such qualities and is committed to helping you meet your needs. Temporary spousal support, however, is commonly granted while the divorce is pending. You need to be well-advised of your rights and thoroughly prepared by your lawyer to make your case (for or against) before the judge. Issues with ChildrenI handle custody, visitation, and child support matters, including temporary possession and parenting plans, with an eye toward legally-sound agreements that anticipate and forestall future modifications or litigation.
