Divorce

Austin, Texas, Divorce Attorney

Divorce is one of the most difficult situations for any family to face. From the physical separation of a family to the adjustment in financial security, any person facing a divorce needs the support and advocacy of an experienced divorce attorney. At the McMinn Law Firm, our attorneys are experienced with the myriad issues that arise during a divorce. Whether you are concerned about asset division or issues involving your children, we can help.

Our attorneys are experienced with all of the following:

Child custody

Child custody determines where the child will reside after the divorce. It also determines who will have the right to make decisions regarding the child. Various arrangements occur to address the individualized circumstances faced by each family. Additional parenting time or visitation schedules will also be determined at the time of divorce. We can help you assert your rights regarding child custody and visitation.

Child support

The amount of child support owed will be based on a number of factors involving the incomes of both parties, the standard of living at the time of the divorce, special needs of the children, and special needs of the parents. Our attorneys will assert your rights to help you maintain your financial security at the time of the divorce.

Alimony

Alimony, spousal support or maintenance is the amount paid to a dependent spouse at the dissolution of marriage. If you are concerned about alimony obligations or you are seeking to collect spousal support, our attorneys will help you assert your rights so that you can secure the financial stability you deserve.

Legal Separation

In addition to divorce proceedings, we also help our clients file for legal separation. If you are not sure you want to divorce or your religion prohibits you from divorcing, a legal separation may be the appropriate option for you.

Divorce Mediation

Divorce mediation allows couples to agreeably proceed through the divorce process without the additional expenditures and delays involved with the court system. If you are interested in learning more about exploring all of your options and alternatives in divorce mediation, please contact our firm.

Enforcement and Modifications

If you are seeking to enforce a court order such as a child support or visitation schedule, we can help. Additionally, if an existing order is no longer appropriate because of changed circumstances, we can help. Our attorneys will fully advocate for your need for a modification or to see an existing order enforced.
