Prosper, Texas Divorce Attorney

Lawyer for Asset Division, Alimony, and Child Support in Prosper, TX

The potential for divorce is likely to be a concern for most married couples, since around 40 to 50 percent of marriages do not last. While the process of ending a marriage through divorce is rarely easy, the level of difficulty will often depend on the approach taken by spouses as they separate from each other. In some cases, spouses may be able to work together to resolve their differences and find acceptable solutions, while in others, conflict between spouses may lead to contentious legal disputes that need to be resolved in the courtroom. Regardless of your situation, you will want to be represented by an experienced attorney during your divorce, and by securing legal counsel, you can make sure you are addressing legal issues correctly.

For more than 30 years, the Law Office of Linda Risinger has been assisting with divorce and family law cases, and we have represented spouses in a wide variety of different types of situations. We know the difficulties that spouses and family members face in a divorce, and we can provide compassionate and dedicated legal help to ensure that a case is handled properly. While we believe in helping our clients resolve issues amicably by negotiating out-of-court divorce settlements whenever possible, we are prepared to represent you in legal proceedings, and we will strongly advocate on your behalf to ensure that your interests will be protected in the decisions that are made.

Assistance With Divorce Cases in Prosper

As you prepare to dissolve your marriage, the first thing you will need to understand is how the divorce process works. We will guide you through the steps of this process, including the filing of a divorce petition, gaining information through discovery, requests for temporary orders, the negotiation of a divorce settlement, and the procedures followed during court hearings or a divorce trial. In most cases, we work to help our clients complete an uncontested divorce in which spouses work with each other to create a settlement that fully addresses all of the legal issues involved in dissolving their marriage. However, we can also help you determine how to resolve any disputes that may arise, including petitioning the court to ask a judge to make decisions about certain matters.

As you work to separate your life from your spouse, we will help you address issues related to your finances, including negotiating a property division settlement, determining whether spousal support/alimony is appropriate, and addressing tax considerations related to these matters. We can help resolve complex financial issues involved in a high net worth divorce, including the valuation and division of business assets, ownership of real estate property, and division of retirement accounts and benefits.

Child custody is another important issue that will need to be addressed in many divorce cases. If you are a parent, we can work with you to determine the best ways to make sure you and your spouse will both be involved in making decisions for your children. We will also work with you to create a workable schedule for physical possession (visitation), providing you, your ex-spouse, and your children with a complete understanding of when children will live in each parent's home or stay with parents on different holidays. We can also help you address complex child custody issues related to a parent's substance abuse and rehabilitation, and we can advise you on the best ways to handle situations involving a planned parental relocation.
