Family Law Attorney in Denton
Dallas-Based Legal Representation for Denton Families
Mathur Law Offices, P.C. serves individuals and families across North Texas, including Denton, in family law matters ranging from divorce to post-divorce modifications. Founded by Mr. Sanjay Mathur on the principle that every client deserves top-tier representation, our firm approaches each case with the preparation and integrity that family disputes demand.
Family law matters don’t always travel alone. A divorce can surface immigration questions. A custody dispute can intersect with a related criminal charge. Because our attorneys also practice immigration and criminal defense, we’re positioned to spot those connections early, before they catch a client off guard.
If you’re facing a family law matter in Denton, contact us today at (888) 867-5191 to discuss your situation directly with an attorney.
What Sets Our Firm Apart for Denton Family Law Cases
Clients who contact us get direct attorney involvement, not a handoff to a paralegal or a templated case strategy. We take time to understand your goals, your circumstances, and what’s at stake for you specifically, then build a legal approach around that picture.
Our multi-practice background gives us a broader lens for evaluating legal issues within the same matter. When a Denton family law matter involves overlapping immigration status concerns or a related criminal charge, our attorneys recognize the issue and can address it as part of a coordinated strategy rather than sending you elsewhere mid-case.
Our documented case victories across multiple practice areas reflect a commitment to pursuing outcomes that align with each client’s interests, not outcomes that are simply convenient to reach.
Family Law Matters We Handle
Texas family law covers a wide range of disputes and legal proceedings. Denton residents come to us with situations that include:
- Divorce: Contested and uncontested, including cases involving significant marital property or children
- Child custody and visitation: Called conservatorship and possession under Texas law, governing where children live and how parenting time is structured
- Child support: Initial orders and enforcement of existing obligations
- Property division: Division of marital assets and debts acquired during the marriage
- Protective orders: Emergency and permanent protective orders in domestic violence situations
- Paternity: Establishing or contesting parentage and its legal consequences
- Post-divorce modifications: Changes to custody, support, or visitation orders when circumstances have materially shifted
Texas Family Law Rules Denton Residents Should Know
Before filing, it helps to understand how the Texas Family Code frames your situation. To file for divorce in Texas, one spouse must have lived in the state for the preceding six months and in the filing county for the preceding 90 days under Texas Family Code Section 6.301. Denton County qualifies if you meet that residency threshold there.
Once a petition is filed, Section 6.702 imposes a mandatory 60-day waiting period before a court can grant the divorce. A narrow exception exists for documented family violence, but otherwise the clock simply runs. Texas is also a no-fault state: under Section 6.001, a spouse can file on the ground of insupportability without proving any wrongdoing by the other party.
Property division follows community property rules. Under Section 7.001, assets and debts acquired during the marriage are divided in a manner the court deems just and right, which doesn’t automatically mean equal. The distinction between separate and community property, and how the court weighs equitable factors, often affects the financial issues in a case.
Filing in Denton County District Courts
Family law cases in Denton, including divorce, custody, and support matters, are heard in Denton County’s district courts at the Denton County Courts Building. From the moment a divorce or suit affecting the parent-child relationship is filed, a standing order automatically takes effect governing the conduct of both parties, the treatment of marital property, and arrangements involving children. That order holds until a judge rules on the underlying issues.
Knowing what the standing order prohibits and what it permits matters from day one. We can walk Denton clients through those obligations at the start of their case so there are no missteps that complicate the proceedings later.

"Dismissal on DWI"
Thank you, thanks to Julio and the staff. It hasn't quite sunk in yet given how long it's been up in the air hanging over my head. For a year or so l kept wondering; concerned about the implications but today, l am the happiest guy in The Colony. As l have mentioned before, my excitement was really elevated, the very first meeting l had with Julio. The perspectives he brought, the vigor and much more. I knew l was in good hands. Thanks to you, thanks to Julio, thanks to the staff. Have a great weekend.
