32 divorce attorneys are listed in Dallas. Cases are filed in the Dallas County family district courts, and Texas requires a sixty-day waiting period between filing and finalisation in most cases.
Texas is a community property state: property acquired during the marriage is presumed community and divided in a manner the court finds just and right, which is not necessarily equal. Characterising assets — what was owned before, what was inherited, what was commingled — is where most of the money is won or lost, particularly where a business or a professional practice is involved.
Spousal maintenance in Texas is limited by statute in both amount and duration. Ask early what a realistic outcome looks like rather than what is theoretically possible.
