Agreed & Contested Divorce
We can help you navigate the diffcult waters.
Whether your divorce is straightforward or highly contested, it’s never just paperwork—it’s the legal and emotional reorganization of your life. At The Turner Firm, we handle both agreed and contested divorces with the strategy, focus, and courtroom readiness that comes from years of experience in Texas family law.
Texas is a no-fault divorce state, meaning either spouse can file for divorce without proving misconduct. That simplifies the legal threshold, but not necessarily the outcome. Every divorce must resolve critical issues like property division, child custody, support, and spousal maintenance—and those topics can either be resolved through agreement or litigated in court.
In an agreed divorce, we help clients create thorough, enforceable agreements that hold up over time and avoid future conflict. These cases can move faster and cost less, but even in amicable situations, it’s essential to get the legal details right. We ensure your agreements are clear, enforceable, and protect your long-term interests.
In contested divorces, we’re prepared for battle. We gather evidence, build your case, and represent you in hearings and trial when needed. Whether the dispute involves custody, property, or allegations of misconduct, we know how to navigate the courtroom—and we don’t back down from high-conflict situations.
Many clients also ask about legal separation. Texas does not recognize “legal separation” the way some other states do. However, we can help you secure temporary orders to address living arrangements, parenting schedules, and financial responsibilities while the divorce is pending. These orders provide structure and stability while the case is moving forward.
