Division of assets is one of the most mind boggling aspects of ending a marriage in Texas. During the process of planning a wedding or a new life together, it would be wise to consider a Premarital Agreement.

This includes paying Child Support.
In the state of Texas, Texas Family Code has guideline percentages which apply to the first $9,200.00 of the non-custodial parent's monthly net resources.
If the child has proven special needs, then additional support may be warranted.
The non-custodial parent is the parent that the child does not reside with most of the time.
Even though these laws are in place, the Judge, at their discretion can give more or less than the guidelines of Child Support.
It's important to understand what you are entitled to when it comes to Child Support and what Child Support means.

Custody should be based on what is in the child's best interests, not the parents best interest.
It is often difficult to distinguish between the two when you are in the midst of what can become an ugly divorce battle.
This is why you hire a good attorney, who can keep a level head and guide you through the issues and help you determine what is in the best interest of the children.
Texas law presumes that all parents will be granted the title of joint managing conservators and that both parents will be awarded periods of possession with the children.

Divorce is one of the most stressful things that a person must deal with.
Divorce is like a death without the option of having a burial and a memorial service, and if you have children with your spouse, then you still have to find a way to co-parent and get along with that person for what could be years.
It's not easy, and at Bo Nichols Law, we know it's not easy because we have been in your shoes.
Most divorces are contested.
This means that there are issues that will need to be worked out by a third party, which can be a judge, a mediator or an attorney.

What happens when your ex violates court orders repeatedly?
If you feel as if you have tried every avenue to co-parent with your ex and they continue to disregard the decree that the judge has entered for your divorce it could mean it is time to enforce the decree.
A divorce decree is not just a binding legal document, it is a court order, and one party's failure to comply with certain terms of the decree can give rise to a legal cause of action, or a law suit, to enforce the court's order.
Failure to respond to an enforcement action can have serious negative consequences - including fines, changes to the divorce decree in favor of the other party, and even jail time.
