What To Know About Your Case
Family law is a broad area of the justice system, and Lackey Law Firm, P.C., takes great pride in assisting clients when it comes to a variety of areas. Here are some facts to provide clarity on your case.
Your case will usually be filed in the county where at least one party resides. In larger counties, there may be multiple courts dedicated to family matters, each with specific judges and procedures.
Not necessarily. In fact, many family law cases settle outside of court through negotiation or mediation. This can save time, reduce conflict, and give both parties more control over the outcome. However, if you can’t agree, a judge will decide.
Even in uncontested cases, court approval is still required to finalize the agreement—so having legal counsel to ensure everything is properly handled is key.
There is a mandatory 60-day waiting period after a divorce petition is filed before a judge can finalize the divorce.
In any custody decision, the court will prioritize the child's best interest, considering factors like the child's emotional and physical needs, parental abilities, and any danger to the child.
Texas allows "no-fault" divorces based on "insupportability," meaning the marriage has become insupportable due to discord or conflict. Fault-based grounds, such as cruelty, adultery, or abandonment, also exist and may influence property division or spousal support decisions.
