Divorce Matters We Handle
Texas is a community property state, which means that most assets acquired during the marriage are subject to division. When those assets are substantial or complex, the stakes are higher and the analysis more involved.
Our attorneys handle divorce cases involving substantial and complex estates, including real estate portfolios, business interests, retirement accounts, stock options, and executive compensation packages. We work with financial experts and forensic accountants when necessary to ensure complete and accurate valuation of marital assets.
For parents, custody is often the most emotionally charged part of divorce. In Texas, custody is addressed through conservatorship (decision-making authority) and possession (time with the children). Our attorneys help clients understand their rights, develop parenting plans that work for their family, and advocate strongly when the other side is unreasonable or uncooperative.
Whether you are seeking primary custody, a modification of an existing order, or a possession schedule tailored to your family’s needs, our attorneys are experienced in both negotiation and litigation of custody matters.
Texas law sets specific eligibility requirements for spousal maintenance, including minimum marriage duration and certain qualifying circumstances. We represent clients on both sides of spousal maintenance disputes – those seeking support and those opposing it – with a clear understanding of how Texas courts evaluate these claims.
Not every divorce can be resolved through negotiation. When the other side is unreasonable, when assets have been hidden or misrepresented, or when custody is genuinely contested, you need an attorney who is prepared and willing to take the case to trial.
Our attorneys have decades of combined courtroom experience trying cases in Collin County, Dallas County, and Denton County. We do not push clients toward settlement simply because trial is harder or more expensive. We pursue the outcome that is right for our clients.
The Divorce Process in Texas: What to Expect
Understanding the process helps you make better decisions and reduces the anxiety that comes with uncertainty. Here is a general overview of how divorce works in Texas:
Filing the Petition. One spouse files an Original Petition for Divorce in the county where they reside. Texas requires at least one spouse to have been a resident of the state for six months and the filing county for 90 days.
The Waiting Period. Texas law mandates a 60-day waiting period from the date the petition is filed before a divorce can be finalized. In complex cases, the process takes considerably longer.
Temporary Orders. If immediate issues need to be addressed – such as who stays in the home, temporary custody arrangements, or temporary spousal support – either party can request temporary orders from the court.
Discovery. Both sides exchange financial documents, records, and other relevant information. In high-asset cases, this phase is critical. Thorough discovery uncovers the full extent of the marital estate and identifies any assets the other party may be attempting to conceal.
Negotiation and Mediation. Most Texas divorce cases settle before trial. Mediation is often court-ordered and provides a structured environment for negotiation with the help of a neutral mediator. We prepare for mediation with the same rigor as trial, which positions our clients to achieve favorable outcomes.
Trial. If the parties cannot reach agreement, the case proceeds to trial where a judge makes the final decisions on property division, custody, and support. Having an attorney with genuine trial experience is essential at this stage.

What Makes a Divorce Complex?
If either spouse owns a business or professional practice, that interest must be valued and addressed in property division. Business valuations require specialized expertise and can become a significant point of dispute.
Stock options, restricted stock units, deferred compensation, and performance bonuses create layers of complexity in determining what is community property and how to divide it fairly.
Couples who own a primary residence, vacation properties, or investment real estate must address valuation, mortgage obligations, and tax implications for each property.
Dividing 401(k)s, pensions, IRAs, and brokerage accounts often requires Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) and careful tax planning to avoid unnecessary penalties.
When one spouse has controlled the finances or there are signs of concealment, forensic accounting may be necessary to trace income and identify undisclosed accounts or transfers.
Cases involving allegations of family violence, substance abuse, parental alienation, or relocation require a different level of preparation and courtroom advocacy.
If any of these factors are present in your situation, you need an attorney who has handled cases like yours before. The Price Firm regularly handles complex, high-stakes divorces and has the resources and experience to manage every dimension of your case.
