FAQs
Got questions? Of course you do. Divorce and custody law isn’t exactly light reading. These answers cover the basics, explain what matters most, and help you figure out when it’s time to bring in a lawyer.
How long does the divorce process take in Texas?
The shortest timeline for a Texas divorce is 60 days, but most cases take longer depending on complexity, cooperation, and court availability. Contested cases involving children or significant assets can take several months, or more. Burnside Family Law builds a strategy early to avoid unnecessary delays and keep the process moving.
What happens to custody and visitation during a divorce?
In Texas, child custody is referred to as conservatorship, and the courts prioritize the best interest of the child. Parents can agree on a plan, or the court can decide. That includes who makes decisions, how time is split, and what the parenting schedule looks like. This firm helps clients navigate both the legal and practical sides of custody arrangements.
How is property divided in a Texas divorce?
Texas is a community property state, which means most assets (and debts) acquired during the marriage are considered jointly owned and subject to division. That doesn’t always mean a 50/50 split, it means a “just and right” division, which takes several factors into account. Burnside Family Law helps clients understand what’s on the table and how to protect what’s theirs.
