Divorce Matters We Handle

Some divorces are resolved through negotiation; others require courtroom advocacy. Our team prepares for either path and develops a strategy suited to your specific circumstances.

We assist clients with the following divorce-related matters:

What Sets Our Dallas Divorce Lawyers Apart

Our firm was founded by Mr. Sanjay Mathur on the principle that every client deserves top-tier representation, regardless of background or circumstance. That founding philosophy shapes how we handle divorce matters today: with direct attorney involvement, documented case results, and strategies built around your goals rather than a standard playbook.

Because our practice extends into immigration and estate planning, we can identify how divorce decisions may affect other areas of your legal life. A change in marital status can affect visa status, estate documents, or beneficiary designations. We coordinate across those areas so that your choices in one proceeding don’t create unintended consequences in another.

Our attorneys appear regularly in Dallas County Family Courts. Familiarity with local judges and procedural expectations allows us to anticipate what may be required and prepare accordingly. That knowledge shapes how we draft filings, approach hearings, and advise clients on realistic outcomes.

Divorce Laws That Apply to Dallas Cases

Texas family law governs every divorce filed in Dallas.

Key points about Texas divorce law:

• Residency requirements matter. At least one spouse must have lived in Texas for at least six months and in Dallas County for at least 90 days before filing.
• Grounds for divorce can be fault-based or no-fault. The most common ground is insupportability due to discord or conflict. Fault grounds such as adultery, cruelty, or abandonment may affect property division or spousal support outcomes.
• Texas is a community property state. Assets and debts acquired during the marriage are generally divided in a manner the court considers just and right rather than through an automatic 50/50 split. Separate property, including inheritances and gifts, is treated differently.
• Child conservatorship centers on the child’s welfare. Texas uses the term conservatorship rather than custody. Courts weigh each parent’s ability to meet the child’s physical and emotional needs, the stability of the home, and the child’s existing relationship with each parent. Courts will also consider any history of domestic violence or substance abuse. If a child is old enough and sufficiently mature, their preference may also be a factor in the judge’s determination.

There is also a mandatory 60-day waiting period from the date of filing before a divorce can be finalized. Uncontested cases may resolve shortly after that period; contested matters involving property disputes or conservatorship disagreements often take several months to more than a year.

How to Prepare When Working with a Dallas Divorce Lawyer

Before your consultation, gather relevant documents and think through your priorities so your attorney can begin assessing your case.

Practical steps to take before your consultation:

• Organize financial records including bank statements, tax returns from the past two to three years, mortgage documents, retirement account statements, and any business records if you or your spouse owns a company.
• Document your parenting schedule if children are involved. Notes about your typical routines, school involvement, and caregiving responsibilities can be useful in conservatorship discussions.
• Build a post-divorce budget. Understanding what you will need to cover housing, transportation, and childcare helps frame what you are working toward financially.
• Hold off on major financial decisions such as large purchases or taking on new debt until you have discussed timing and strategy with your divorce attorney.

At your initial consultation, our attorneys can walk through your circumstances, answer your questions about property, children, and next steps, and outline the options available to you. Arriving with a clear picture of your financial situation and priorities allows that conversation to be as productive as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can We Resolve Our Divorce Through Mediation Instead of Court?

Yes. Mediation is widely used in divorce cases and can be an effective way to reach an agreement on property division, conservatorship, support, and other issues without going to trial. A neutral mediator helps facilitate discussion but doesn’t decide outcomes. When each party is willing to negotiate in good faith, mediation may reduce costs and save time. Our attorneys can advise you on whether it is a practical option given your circumstances and represent your interests throughout the process.

Do I Need a Divorce Attorney If My Spouse and I Agree on Everything?

Even in amicable situations, having an attorney review your agreement before it is finalized can help you avoid unintended consequences. Errors in how property is classified, how a retirement account is divided, or how conservatorship language is drafted can cause problems that surface years later. Our attorneys can review your proposed terms, identify any gaps, and help the final decree reflect what you and your spouse intend.
