Divorce 

Stay In Control Of Your Uncontested or Contested Divorce

Schedule a Consultation

People end up frustrated and upset with the process because they have expectations that bear little resemblance to the reality of ending their marrage. Clients often use words like fair, win and punish. It wasn’t fair the marriage failed. Why should divorce be fair? Perhaps the words fair and just get confused.

What about winning or loosing? Nobody wins in court, but if you hire the right legal professional you can protect your rights and interest from the very beginning.

Divorce

A majority of our clients decide their marriage is over in the context of significant conflict. For many clients it’s not easy to have a rational discussion about ending a relationship. The marriage has hit the rocks because of factors that generate bad feelings:

Unmanageable Debt

Addiction to Drugs

Gambling

Spending

Cheating & Extramarital Affairs

Clashing Life Styles

On top of this, people often feel an agonizing sense of failure or a sense of worthlessness. People beginning the divorce process are angry, upset and often irrational. The reality is that you must come to accept is that you’re better off staying out of court. Court can be draining, both emotionally and financially. If it’s all possible for you to negotiate with your spouse, do so instead of trying to punish him or her with a grueling court battle. An experienced San Antonio Divorce Attorney at the will suggest alternative dispute resolution or mediation as a great way to end your marriage with dignity and control with a minimum of emotional stress.

Military Divorce

"Quick Or Difficult I'm ready." Carmen Rojo

There are unique issues that arise in a military couple decides to end their marriage, as opposed to a one between two civilians. It is important for you to fully understand these differences, so can actively protect your rights and interests in any issue that may arise.

About Military Divorce

When a husband or wife is on active duty, there are several issues that may apply. Specific laws protect a serviceman or woman from being held in "default" for a delayed response to an action. These laws are crucial in that they protect active members of the military from being divorced without even knowing it. Questions may also arise as to which state it may be filed in. The grounds for a military member or spouse are the same as a civilian, but addressing support, spousal support and property division may be slightly different.

When a couple decides that they no longer want to be married and are living in the state of Texas, there are state-specific rules regarding ending a marriage that the individuals must abide by (includes custody rules). However, if one or both spouses are in the military, there are some additional regulations that must be followed in order for the divorce to be recognized by the state.


Postponing The Divorce

In the state of Texas, it may be necessary to postpone proceedings if one spouse is deployed in another state or country, and for up to 60 days after the spouse returns to Texas, according to the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief 50 UCS section 521. If the spouse serving in the military wishes to proceed, and wants to have the proceedings begin right away, he can waive the right to have the process delayed.


Serving The Military Spouse

In order for Texas courts to legally preside over the case, the spouse who is in the military must be served with a summons and a copy of the action in person. In an uncontested (when both parties agree to end the marriage), the military spouse may not have to be served with papers if she signs a waiver that acknowledges the dissolution.
