Dividing Property in a Richardson 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. With many Richardson households tied to careers along the Telecom Corridor, issues like retirement accounts, stock and equity compensation, and the family home often need careful attention. Identifying what is community property and what is separate property is one of the most important early steps, and our attorneys work to keep that division clear, complete, and focused on your financial future.
Child Custody and Support for Richardson Families
When children are involved, Texas courts decide custody, known as conservatorship, based on the best interest of the child. That covers 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 Richardson parents pursue arrangements that protect their children’s stability and their own relationship with them.
