Reliable Law Firm That Helps Deal with Your Matters.

Strategic Representation in Family Law, Immigration, Criminal Defense & Complex Legal Matters Across North Texas. Texas is a community property state, and under Texas Family Code Chapter 7, a court must divide the marital estate in a way that is just and right, which is not the same as an automatic 50/50 split. Most Texas divorces proceed on the no-fault ground of insupportability under Family Code Section 6.001, though fault grounds such as cruelty or adultery can still affect how property is divided even when they are not required to obtain the divorce itself. Every divorce filed in Texas is also subject to a mandatory 60-day waiting period under Family Code Section 6.702, measured from the date the petition is filed rather than the date the other spouse is served. Mathur Law Offices, P.C. has represented Dallas-area spouses through that process, and every other stage of divorce, since 1999.
