Am I Responsible for My Spouse’s Debt?

In Texas, debts acquired during the marriage will be divided amongst both parties in a divorce in a “just and right” manner. Separate debts that were acquired before marriage are not subject to division.

This means that, depending on circumstances, debt liability including bonds, mortgages, loans, etc. may not be divided equally—or 50/50—between you and your spouse. Therefore, it is best to seek legal advice if you are faced with a divorce in order to adequately protect your financial future.

What Is Contested Divorce?

A contested divorce occurs when spouses do not agree on particulars of their divorce. This can create a very long and complicated process if not handled properly. With many complex matters involved in a settlement, speaking with a divorce attorney may be in your benefit. An attorney will have experience analyzing the details of your divorce that may include child custody, alimony, asset division, etc. to guide you through your situation and fight for your desired outcome in court.

“Best Interest of the Child” Directive in Texas

After divorce, parents are encouraged to share the rights and duties of raising their children. Child custody in Texas is determined in “the best interest of the child.” Factors such as the child’s desires, immediate and future physical and emotional needs, parental abilities, home stability, and other considerations will contribute to the final child custody decision.

How Often Can I See My Kids After Divorce?

In a divorce, you or your ex-spouse may wonder how often the non-custodial parent can see their shared children. A Divorce decree will contain provisions for possession and access, otherwise referred to as “visitation.” For children over the age of three, the Standard Possession Order is put in place according to the child’s best interests. The possession order will outline the dates and times a parent will have possession of the children as well as how possession will function during the holidays.

As Texas is a large state, rights to possession vary depending on if the parents live within 100 miles of each other.

What if My Child Is Unsafe with My Divorced Partner?

If you worry about your child’s safety with your ex-spouse, expressing your concerns to your lawyer is important. These worries can be communicated to the judge who may order that a parent have no visits. Another solution a judge may implement is a supervised possession order. The judge may order that the non-custodial parent’s time with the child be supervised by a family member, neutral third party, or agency.
