Are You Going Through a Divorce?

Divorce is rarely easy for either party. It is a stressful and emotionally complicated time even if the decision to divorce was mutual. Added to the stress and emotional toll of divorce are the legal consequences.

Spouses who decide to end their marriage must address important issues such as the following:

• Property division
• Spousal support

Each of these, and other issues like them, represent a constellation of rights and obligations that are at risk during a divorce. If you need help fighting for the best possible outcome in a divorce, turn to our family law attorneys in Northeast Texas for help. We can devise a personalized legal strategy that may increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome.

Is Legal Separation the Way Forward?

Sometimes spouses want to remain married but legally untangle their lives from one another. This can be accomplished through a legal separation. Oftentimes, issues pertinent to divorce – property division, child custody, spousal support, etc. – are also decided when spouses choose to separate.

Legal separation can be a useful alternative for couples whose faith prohibits them from divorce. The marriage remains intact on paper, but the spouses are legally free from one another. Legal separation may also be a good tool to use if you wish to retain coverage on a spouse’s insurance plan or certain military benefits.

It is also not uncommon for people to choose legal separation for a period of time before ultimately filing for divorce. In a case such as this, a legal separation can typically be converted to a divorce rather quickly.
