Hiring Boudreaux Hunter & Associates, LLC for Your Texas Divorce
Our law firm is dedicated to guiding families through the process, which can be an emotionally overwhelming and tough journey for everyone involved. With our years of experience providing support to families going through divorce, you can rest assured that you’ll have the best representation on your side.
The Divorce Process
Attorney Shannon Boudreaux
In Texas, your divorce can either be contested or uncontested. In an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse agree on all the main issues, such as how you’ll divide your property, child custody and support, and spousal maintenance. In a contested divorce, you and your spouse do not agree on everything, and you need a court to step in and help.
With an uncontested divorce or a contested divorce, it helps to have an experienced divorce lawyer on your side. When it comes to an uncontested divorce, you could hire a lawyer to assist you with working out the specific terms of the agreement as well as oversee mediation instead of going to court. In a contested divorce, you need a divorce lawyer on your side to ensure you get what you need, and to ensure that your rights are protected.
You may be hesitant to hire a Bellaire divorce lawyer because of cost. However, it could cost you much, much more in the long run if you don’t have an experienced attorney in your corner. Make sure you weigh all the considerations and seek out a divorce lawyer who will support you and advocate for you during your time of need.
Child Custody
When it comes to child custody, the Texas courts will always look at what’s in the best interests of the child, weighing factors like:
- Each parent’s mental, physical, and emotional health
- The home environment of each parent
- How close the parents are to the child’s school
- If there’s been any abuse
- Any special needs the child may have, and how each parent can meet those needs
With a family lawyer’s help, you can pursue what you believe is the best option for your child. When your lawyer steps in, you may be able to come to a more amicable conclusion with your co-parent, which will be healthier for the family overall.
Child Support and Modifications
Attorney Kevin Hunter
If you spend the majority of time with your child and provide a primary residence for them, then you will be the recipient of child support payments. Usually, the parent not living with the child pays child support. But, what if they aren’t? What can you do?
With a family lawyer backing you up, you can request that the court ensures you will get your child support payments on time. If not, your co-parent could face a barrage of legal issues.
On the flip side, let’s say you pay child support. However, you recently lost your job and now you’re struggling financially. You can’t keep up with payments. Your family lawyer can advise you on what to do. They will assist you with requesting a modification so that you can modify child support payments until you hopefully get back on your feet.
Spousal Maintenance
In a marriage, sometimes one person will put their career on hold to support their spouse. Perhaps they stay at home and take care of the children instead of making money. When they get a divorce, they end up not being able to pay their bills because they haven’t been working for so long. They may not only have to get back into the workforce, but they may also have to go to school and earn an education to get a suitable job. In situations like these, as well as others, your divorce lawyer can help you request spousal maintenance.
You may be on the other end of the spectrum and need to pay spousal maintenance. Our West University Place family lawyers will help you understand what your monthly payments will be and help you modify them if you lose your income.
Prenups and Postnups
You’re getting married soon, and you want to protect the assets in your name just in case you get divorced. You can do this with a prenup that you create with the help of an experienced family law lawyer. They will make sure that no one is feeling coerced into signing the agreement or uncomfortable with its terms. They will also ensure that it’s a 100% valid agreement so there are no issues if you do decide to get divorced one day.
Our family law attorneys can also assist with postnups, which are like prenups, except that you sign them after you get married. The same issues may arise, and it’s necessary to have a lawyer who is experienced with postnups help you create yours.
