In Texas, divorcing couples can fight over anything, but the only two issues the Judge really cares about involve child custody and property. In all but the very largest Texas counties(like Dallas and Tarrant Counties), the Judge is going to sit in a general jurisdiction court. That means a complex divorce is going to be decided by the same judge who hears business disputes, child abuse cases and murders. And that means an attorney handling a Divorce in Denton and Collin County, and other smaller counties, needs to take a specialized approach.
At Hammerle Finley Law Firm, our attorneys have been handling complex Texas divorces in Denton and Collin county for over 25 years. Our family law attorneys are familiar with the local rules in Denton County and Collin County. And lest you think that we’re too localized – Craig Fowler is Board Certified in Family Law and is a former Family Law District Judge in Dallas County. We can, and do, handle Texas Divorces throughout North Texas.
Complex Cases – Texas Child Custody. Among lawyers, every Texas child custody case is considered complex. Unless the divorcing parents agree, the Judge is going to be asked to decide who will be the primary caregiver for each child (custody), where the child will live and with whom, how much visitation is given to the other parent, and how much child support will be paid. That decision will require a wealth of information – from the child and parents’ psychological make-up to the child’s school situation to the parental abilities, income and education. At Hammerle Finley, our divorce attorneys know how to sift through the wealth of information and experts to bring the best child custody case possible before the Judge. That translates into a happier and more stable post-divorce situation for you and your child. Where possible and in the best interests of our client and the child, our divorce attorneys settle a case. But where necessary, our divorce attorneys aggressively litigate that child custody case. After all, your child’s future depends on it.
Complex cases – Texas Property Disputes. We’re not talking about disputes over the flowered couch and matching end tables. A complex property dispute in a Texas divorce will involve business interests, oil and gas interests, horses, trusts, retirement accounts – a Texas-sized divorce involving serious money. There may be a prenuptial or a postnuptial agreement, a slew of separate property accounts that shouldn’t be subject to division in the divorce, or some vast wrong-doing by the other spouse that should involve a great portion of assets being awarded to our client or some serious alimony. Now THAT’S a complex property dispute, exactly the type of case on which the divorce attorneys at Hammerle Finley thrive.
