37 family law attorneys serve Dallas. Cases are heard in the Dallas County family district courts, which operate a dedicated family docket.
Texas is a community property state, so property acquired during the marriage is presumed to belong to both spouses and characterisation — what is community and what is separate — is the central fight in most substantial cases. Custody is framed as conservatorship, with a statutory presumption in favour of joint managing conservatorship in most circumstances.
Ask how the attorney handles valuation of a business or retirement accounts, and whether they push mediation first. Dallas courts expect the parties to have tried it.
