Family Law

Divorce
Premarital Agreement
We advise clients who are planning to marry, and clients who are already married, on their property rights under Texas community property laws and prepare premarital agreements and postmarital agreements regarding the marital and assets and income.We also prepare agreements for the partition and gifting of certain community property and agreements to convert community property to separate property in the appropriate circumstances.
Spousal Support
A premarital agreement, also called a prenuptial agreement, can help a couple determine property rights before they are married that will protect both parties in the event of divorce or death. These agreements can be particularly important in Texas, which is one of only nine "community property" states. They can deal with determining who will own various types of property after the marriage, such as wages, inherited property, a home acquired during marriage, spousal support, allocation of income taxes during the marriage and other types of property issues that arise during marriage. Such an agreement can also be used to allocate financial responsibilities, such as determining who will be responsible for debts existing at the time of the marriage or incurred during the marriage, how mortgage, rent and insurance payments will be made and by whom, who will be responsible for credit card debts. Estate planning can be addressed, such as whether each spouse will leave the other spouse assets under his or her Will.
