As you weigh your options, the State of Texas also offers free self help resources at TexasLawHelp.org.
Dividing Property in a Dallas Divorce
Texas is a community property state, which means most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are presumed to belong to both spouses and are subject to a just and right division by the court. In a major metro like Dallas, that often involves homes, retirement and investment accounts, business interests, and executive compensation, so identifying what is community property and what is separate property is a critical early step. Our attorneys work to keep your property division clear, complete, and structured to protect your financial future.
Child Custody and Support for Dallas Families
When children are involved, Texas courts decide custody, known as conservatorship, based on the best interest of the child. That includes how parental rights and duties are shared, where the child primarily lives, and how possession and access are scheduled. Child support is generally calculated under the Texas guidelines using the paying parent’s income and the number of children. We help Dallas parents pursue arrangements that protect their children’s stability and their own relationship with them.
★★★★★ “I’ve had to get legal support twice, and CoilLaw was amazing both times. Charidan, Kris, and Gabi were helpful, quick, and effective. I’ve recommended Coil to several friends who (unfortunately) needed a lawyer too.”
