Questions
What are the grounds for divorce in Texas?
Texas recognizes insupportability (irreconcilable differences), cruelty, adultery, felony conviction, abandonment, living apart, and mental hospital confinement as grounds for divorce.
How does child custody work in Texas?
Texas uses 'conservatorship' terminology, determining managing conservatorship (decision-making authority) and possessory conservatorship (visitation rights) based on the child's best interests.
Can I modify existing child support orders?
Yes, modifications are possible with significant changes like job loss, income changes, or relocation. Our firm helps clients adjust support arrangements to reflect current circumstances.
What services does Adams Law Firm offer?
We specialize in divorce, child custody, adoption, prenuptial agreements, child support, protective orders, and other family law matters across Katy and surrounding areas.
How are property divisions handled in Texas divorces?
Texas follows community property principles, dividing marital assets acquired during marriage. Separate property owned before marriage remains with the original owner during divorce proceedings.
