Divorce - Texas - Freedom Family Law Firm

Strategic Guidance for Your Texas Divorce

Divorce in Texas is more than the end of a marriage. It is the legal rebuild of your life: your home, your assets, your income, your parenting plan, and often your business. Texas law sets clear rules for who can file and when, including a residency requirement under Texas Family Code Section 6.301. For people who earn well, own a company, or hold a public role, a Texas divorce also calls for a plan that pairs legal strength with quiet discretion.

Texas Residency and Grounds for Divorce

Before a Texas court can grant your divorce, two things have to be true. You have to meet the state’s residency rule, and you have to have a legal ground the court will accept.

Insupportability, the no-fault ground: the marriage is unworkable with no reasonable chance of reconciling
Cruelty: one spouse's treatment makes living together unbearable
Adultery
A felony conviction and prison time
Abandonment for at least one year
Living apart for at least three years
Confinement in a mental hospital

Most Freedom Family Law clients file under insupportability, the no-fault ground, because it does not require blaming a spouse in court. Residency works differently. To file in Texas, you or your spouse must have lived in the state for the six months right before filing, and in the specific county for the 90 days before that, Texas Family Code Section 6.301. You can meet this requirement whether or not you have already moved out. If you want to understand how fault and no-fault grounds actually compare, see grounds for divorce in Texas. If timing is what you are trying to plan around, see how long an uncontested divorce actually takes.

We manage every kind of divorce

Divorce can impact your career, business interests, and financial security. We focus on minimizing disruption while protecting what you’ve built.

We help you:

Agreed (Uncontested) Divorce

When both spouses agree on the main points, property division, support, and parenting, an uncontested divorce can save time, money, and stress. Most agreed divorces in Texas move forward under the no-fault ground of insupportability, Texas Family Code Section 6.001, which simply means the marriage has become unworkable with no reasonable chance of reconciling. Agreed does not mean unprotected. Even in friendly cases, we make sure your paperwork is clear, binding, and written to prevent later disputes.

Contested Divorce

A contested divorce means the parties clash on one or more major points – this happens when:

In contested files we aim for early calm and a long game. We gather money proof, label property as marital or separate, shape a realistic settlement stance and place you for strong results at temporary hearings, mediation, and, if needed, trial.

High-Asset Divorce

High-asset cases need more than routine steps. When large income, many properties, stock, debt risk or firms are present, your file needs a money wise, detail first method. We guard:

Our aim – build clarity fast, stop needless money loss and shape talks with hard proof, not heat.

Whether amicable or contested, we help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Property Division

Property division is where feeling meets money fact. Even solid couples face hard questions

We help you build a clean, proof based view of the marital estate and plan for results that fit long term stability, not short term feeling.

How We Approach Property Division

Divorce can impact your career, business interests, and financial security. We focus on minimizing disruption while protecting what you’ve built.

We help you:

A neat list of assets and debts

A check of paper trails for big buys

Clear dates of purchase

Fixing mix ups between separate and joint funds

A talk plan that mirrors real money aims

When property holds large gain holding firms or layered money tools, we team with experts for true numbers and solid court charts.

Business Owners & Entrepreneurial Spouses

For self made clients the firm is often the most tender asset – it can stand for years of sacrifice, identity and legacy. We grasp the fear that divorce could break the company, slash income or block you from building what you launched.

We help owners by

Gathering clean money records early
Clarifying ownership papers and firm rules
Readying for true value talks
Shielding the line between company cash and personal pay
Blocking harm to name or daily work

We also stop panic moves – sudden money shifts or odd reports – that can spike conflict. In high tension files, steady numbers equal credibility.
