Texas Family Law: What You Should Know

Texas is a community property state, meaning that most property acquired during marriage is considered jointly owned and subject to division upon divorce. However, "community property" doesn't always mean a 50/50 split — the court must divide property in a manner that is "just and right."

Child custody in Texas is called "conservatorship." Texas law presumes that joint managing conservatorship (shared decision-making) is in the child's best interest, but the specifics of possession and access can vary widely based on circumstances.

Child support in Texas is calculated using guidelines based on the obligor's net resources and the number of children. The standard percentages range from 20% for one child to 40% for five or more children, but deviations are possible in certain circumstances.

Whether you're facing divorce, a custody dispute, or a modification of existing orders, having an experienced attorney who understands Texas family law is essential to protecting your rights and your family's future.
