Divorce and Legal Separation in Texas
Several difficult decisions should be carefully considered when your marriage is no longer salvageable. When arguments, distrust and scorn take their toll on a relationship, pressing issues in need of compromise and resolution include child custody, child support, alimony and property division. These sensitive issues are best addressed with a lawyer who can defuse contention and clear complications whether a divorce proceeding is contested or uncontested, and even in legal separation.
The right first step is to consult with a knowledgeable divorce and legal separation attorney who can treat you and your loved ones with compassion while working for your goals.
At The Law Office of Goodman and Cowan, P.C., we provide practical strategies to resolve your unique situation effectively. Rockwall attorney Cameron Cowan can guide you through these concerns in an efficient, proactive and responsive manner. We work for flexible, creative solutions with the best interests of your children in mind. Contact our law firm in Rockwall today for sound legal advice and a free initial consultation.
Child Custody · Child Support · Alimony · Property Division
These matters can very easily become contentious. We will work closely with you to fight for fair and equitable division of marital property, protection of your personal property, and accurate child support and alimony calculations adhering to the Texas guidelines. Additionally, and often most importantly, the custody of your children should take several issues into account, but spouses often have conflicting ideas about what is fair, equitable and best for their children once all issues are on the table. A skilled and experienced attorney knows how to craft agreements in complex situations to help you avoid the long-term, destructive effects these matters can create.
Legal Separation in Rowlett and Garland
We take a comprehensive approach designed to meet the unique needs of our clients. In some cases, legal separation can help a couple retain property, death benefits and/or medical benefits. There is no formal separation process under Texas divorce law, but we can help couples who are seeking legal protections short of a divorce decree by the court. We also provide our clients with temporary separation agreements for impending divorces.
Post-Decree Modifications
The terms and conditions in a divorce decree are not written in stone. Circumstances may change at any time, and the parties have the right to request adjustments to address significant changes. Modifications are especially common for support and custody matters. When circumstances change substantially, we'll seek a modification to protect your interests and defend your interests. We represent parties requesting modifications and those reacting to their ex-spouse's modification request.
