Divorce in Texas: What You Need to Know

In Texas, divorce isn’t just about dissolving a marriage—it’s about untangling two lives. Texas is a community property state, which means marital assets are divided equitably but not always equally. The legal path you take depends on many factors, including children, assets, length of marriage, and the grounds for divorce.

Child Custody and Parenting Plans

Child custody — legally referred to as conservatorship — is often one of the most emotionally challenging aspects of a divorce. Courts always aim to act in the best interests of the child, but that standard can be interpreted in many ways.

We help clients create parenting plans that address time-sharing, decision-making, and financial support, always working toward practical solutions that protect children while still respecting parental rights.

To decide on the terms of conservatorship, the courts consider the following before making a judgment:

• The child’s relationship with each parent
• The stability and health of the parents
• School and community ties
• Any history of abuse, neglect, or substance issues for either parent

At Murrah & Killough, PLLC, our Montgomery County divorce lawyers can also help with modifications of your custody order and the enforcement of orders when your co-parent refuses to follow the court’s terms.

Property Division in Montgomery County Divorces

From suburban homes in The Woodlands to ranchland in Magnolia, the property you and your spouse purchased while married is likely considered community property under Texas law.

Community property refers to jointly owned assets and debts acquired during the marriage. Community property also includes income earned by either spouse, real estate purchased during the marriage (no matter whose name is on the deed), retirement contributions, business profits, and even credit card debt.

These assets are presumed to be jointly owned unless proven otherwise.

On the other hand, separate property refers to assets owned before marriage, inheritances, gifts made specifically to one spouse, and settlements from personal injury claims (with some exceptions). Proving that something is separate property requires clear documentation, and that’s where our team steps in.

At Murrah & Killough, PLLC, our Montgomery County divorce lawyers work with forensic accountants and financial advisors to ensure a fair and accurate division. Whether you’re concerned about protecting your retirement account or your home, we can help you distinguish between community and separate property and pursue a division that reflects your contributions and your rights.

In Montgomery County courts, judges often prefer negotiated settlements, but if an agreement can’t be reached, the court considers factors like earning capacity, fault in the breakup, and the needs of any children when dividing assets.

Spousal Maintenance in Montgomery County, Texas

Spousal maintenance can be granted under specific conditions, like in situations where a spouse can’t support themselves because of disability, a long-term marriage resulting in loss of marketable skills, or family responsibilities.

At Murrah & Killough, PLLC, we evaluate your eligibility for spousal maintenance and fight for fair outcomes whether you’re seeking or contesting spousal support. We also help with contractual support negotiations, which can offer more flexibility than court-ordered maintenance.
