Divorce litigation can be time-consuming and costly. As an attorney, I can offer mediation services that allow you to remain in control of the results of your divorce while managing the financial impact and saving time. Mediation allows both parties to work together to develop a creative solution that works for each side. In litigation, a judge determines an outcome that may not take all factors into account appropriately. In mediation, you remain in control.

Some specific issues to be aware of with divorce in Texas:

• The person seeking divorce must be a resident of Texas for six (6) months or more\
• The person seeking divorce must be a resident of the county in which he or she is seeking divorce for ninety (90) days or more

If you are thinking about divorce, in Texas, then you have no middle ground in terms of legal options. There is no such thing as "legal separation" in Texas. You are either married or divorced. When it's time to get divorced, then you start right in with the divorce proceedings.

Some issues to consider are:

• How will property, assets, debts, and liabilities be distributed?
• Who will take legal or physical custody of the children?
• Is the marriage by legal instrument or by common law?
• Is either spouse going to require financial support from the other?
• If my soon-to-be ex-spouse has an attorney, do I need one also?
