West Texas Family Law Attorneys Providing Comprehensive Divorce Representation
Our Odessa divorce lawyers understand the complicated and emotional issues surrounding divorce and other family law matters. You could be facing the breakup of your family, altered finances and estate planning issues. Our goal is to help protect your interests at every stage of your life.
Our divorce attorneys can help you understand not only the options available, but also the positives and negatives to help you make informed decisions about:
Property Division Basics
Texas is an equitable division of property state. We can help determine what each of you entered into your marriage with and what property was acquired during the union. Anything you brought into the marriage is typically not divided in divorce. Judges usually divide property fairly, but you are not guaranteed a 50/50 split. The judge bases property division on several factors including the earning capacity of each spouse.
Temporary Orders
Our Odessa divorce lawyers can help with temporary orders of protection. These court orders help to protect either people or property. A judge can set temporary orders in place to help protect assets and ensure neither party spends too much money or racks up debt. These orders can also outline where the children will live, spousal support and other matters until the divorce is finalized.
Annulments
Our West Texas law firm has handled annulments. We understand the complex qualifications, including the 60-day waiting period to file for annulment. Please contact us today to discuss your situation and how we may be of service.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
At Tidwell & Tidwell, we understand the benefits of establishing prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. These agreements basically outline how you agree to separate property and assets if you were to divorce. Prenups are drafted and signed before your marriage, while postnups are drafted and signed after your marriage.
One benefit of these agreements is transferring assets away from a spouse who works in a lawsuit-heavy industry. That way if the spouse were to be sued, the assets could be protected. Such high-risk occupations can include:
- Doctors
- Executives; CEOs
- Business owners
Post-Decree Modifications
Our Odessa divorce lawyers realize that things in our lives can change. If you or your ex-spouse experience a change in circumstances, we can help you modify divorce agreements. Depending on your situation, you may be able to change your financial obligations or your ex-spouse's custody arrangements.
