Texas Family law covers the rules, regulations, and court procedures involving family disputes. Family law includes Divorce, Custody, Child support, Adoption, Premarital agreement and Post dissolution enforcements.

Divorce is the dissolution of marriage. A suit for divorce is filed when a party decides to end a marriage. A final divorce can only be granted after 60 days of filing the original petition for divorce and you can either get divorce by an agreement or by trial. To bring a suit for divorce you must be a residence in state of Texas for at least six months and in that county for 90 days preceding the day the petition is filed.

There are seven statutory grounds for divorce in Texas, most of which require a finding of fault on the part of one of the spouses. However, insupportability a no fault ground for divorce is often used in petitions.

Full custody or legal custody is the colloqual term commonly used in custody matters. Custody consist of two terms, conservatorship and possession. There is a presumption that it is in the best interest of the child that both parent be appointed as Joint Managing Conservatorship of the child unless presumption is rebutted. Conservatorship is the right and duties of parents to a child. These rights can be equally, independently or jointly exercised except that one parent determines the residence of the child. Generally speaking, in a Joint Managing Conservatorship, the court appoints one parent as the parent who has exclusive right to determine the primary residence of the child and such parent is referred to as the primary parent or colloquially, the custodial parent. The other parent is referred to as the non primary parent and such parent is given a possession schedule.

Texas is a community property state. Statute allows the court to divide marital property in a manner that the court deems just and right, having due regard for the rights of each party, debts and any children of the marriage.

Generally, if a person first acquires an ownership interest in property before marriage, the property is considered separate property regardless of the manner in which it was acquired; if a person first acquires an ownership interest in property during marriage, the property is considered community property unless evidence of the manner in which it was acquired would make the property separate. By implication, everything is community property. Properties owned before marriage or acquired after marriage by gift, devise or descent is separate.
