Resolving Family Law Matters in Denton County, Texas

There are a number of ways to resolve one or more of the family law matters you may be going through. The good news is that, in many cases, parties reach final agreements prior to seeking any court involvement. In other cases, parties may reach settlement agreements after engaging in some litigation, but before a final trial takes place. Yet, there are some cases in which it is inevitable that final trials and resulting court orders are necessary to convince the involved parties to move on.

In order to reach the finish line in a family law case, there may be hurdles to jump and obstacles to overcome. The emotional mindset of one or more parties may prove to be one such obstacle. Sadness, anger, fear, anxiety, and resentment are powerful and potentially lingering emotions that you and your legal team should never minimize or discount. In order to resolve these cases, it may be necessary to develop legal strategies that include an acknowledgment of these feelings.

What Is the Texas Family Law Court Process?

Family law court can also be known as domestic relations court. Texas family law court is the legal process families go through to handle disputes such as divorce, child custody, child support and more.

1. Filing of a petition with the court,  usually by one spouse seeking a divorce or custody arrangement.
2. A temporary hearing may be held to address immediate concerns, such as child support or visitation.
