Let Wood & Sanchez Lead The Way
At-fault divorces can involve cruelty, adultery, abandonment, felony conviction, or an undisclosed issue that negatively impacts the marriage. No-fault divorce is almost always a matter of insupportability or irreconcilable differences. However, if a couple has lived apart for over three years or one party has been institutionalized for that long, these can also be used as grounds for a no-fault divorce.
A good divorce attorney prioritizes clear communication, offers tailored solutions, and has extensive courtroom experience. They will also expedite proceedings whenever possible and avoid unnecessary litigation. Wood & Sanchez Law keeps your best interests at the forefront of every decision.
It’s best to avoid discussing your divorce on social media while your case is pending. Anything you post could potentially be used against you in court. We would advise temporarily deactivating your accounts or adjusting privacy settings to protect yourself until all legal matters are finalized.
In Texas, each party is generally responsible for paying their own lawyer. However, the court may require one spouse to pay part or all of the other’s fees if there is a significant financial disparity between them.

In the past, mothers typically had the advantage when it came to matters of child custody, but nowadays things are more equal. No special treatment is given to either spouse in Texas court. The only thing that matters is the well-being of the child.
