McAllen, Texas, Area Divorce Lawyer
Facing the breakup of a marriage is difficult for most people. The decision to get a divorce is one of the hardest steps many of us have to take in life. Under the stress and challenges of such a difficult time, it can be important to contact a divorce lawyer who will take an objective stance and help protect your rights.
After learning about your overall family situation and current goals, including your perspective on the divorce and what you hope to achieve in a settlement, Mr. Guajardo will explain any options and choices you may have under Texas law. Our office has the experience and resources to guide you through the process of obtaining either an uncontested or contested divorce.
Uncontested Divorce — Contested Divorce — Child Custody and Support Issues
Uncontested divorce is the most efficient and affordable option for divorcing couples who can truly agree on important issues with minimal help from attorneys. An uncontested divorce enables you — rather than a judge — to decide on issues including:
- Who will have custody of children, what the other parent's levels of involvement and parenting time will be and what the amount of child support will be
- How you will divide all debts and property — including a home, vehicles and other marital assets
- Whether either party will pay spousal support to the other
Our law office has handled the drafting of documents, legal filings and other aspects of uncontested divorce for many couples who were able to agree on these issues. In other cases, the parties cannot agree on issues such as property division, departures from state child support guidelines or whether "alimony", or spousal support, should be paid. We can help you understand and defend your rights throughout a contested divorce or other family law dispute.
An Attorney Who Will Represent Your Interests in Court
Bilingual, well-educated attorney Raul A. Guajardo can help you get through a contested divorce with the best possible settlement for you. This enables you to move on in life with fewer regrets, because you know you considered your options and made conscious decisions on the family and financial issues you had to face.
