I was getting divorced in Tx while living out of state. I was military and was having a hard time finding a lawyer who actually felt like they wanted to help due to my situation then I met Stephen. He made me feel like my concerns were valid and ensured me that my rights as a father mattered. Even after it was done I was still offered guidance and was never turned away from a question I had. What I’ve learned going through this is that it is more beneficial to have someone show you what the laws are rather than tell you. Stephen was an amazing teacher ensuring I understood the whys when I got news I might not have liked as well told me things I was unaware of. I can only speak from a father’s perspective but I can’t speak highly enough of them.

Every person I had contact with was so professional. Hunter was the attorney on my case. I felt like he truly listened to my concerns. He got me the results I was looking for and it did not take forever to do it. He was very upfront about the process and educated me on my options. I highly recommend.

Given the importance of these issues, you'll want to enlist a premier firm like Scroggins to handle your family law matter and assist in advocating for your needs.

My situation, though a few years back, resulted in exactly the manner I was told and exactly as I needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is “confidentiality” in a divorce lawsuit?

Everything discussed between attorney and client is protected by the attorney-client privilege and may not be disclosed to anyone outside of that attorney’s law firm without the express consent of his or her party. If a third party is present during any of these communications, said communication is no longer protected by the attorney-client privilege.

If one spouse wants to get a divorce, they can do so regardless of the other person’s desires. Texas still has fault bases for divorce, but they also have no-fault bases for divorce. So, you can get a divorce regardless of fault which means, if you want a divorce, you can get a divorce.

It all depends on how much of a fight there is. The quickest that a divorce can be granted in Texas is 61 days after the date the divorce petition was filed. However, that is extremely rare that a divorce is completed that quickly. If there are any disagreements about child custody matters or property division, the likelihood that a divorce will be completed within a period of two months is virtually nonexistent.

A divorce can be completed in Texas in as little as 61 days after filing the original petition for divorce. The complication is that most of the time cases are not truly uncontested. To be truly uncontested, it means that both parties agree on everything. That is more than a little unusual in divorce.

It presumes that all assets and debts that are acquired during the pendency of a marriage, whether in your name, your spouse’s name or both of your names are jointly owned and subject to division upon divorce.

A divorce generally consists of issues surrounding child custody and division of the marital estate. Depending on what portions of the divorce proceeding are contested in the positions of the parties is going to determine what steps are necessary to take. For example, it is extremely common that a temporary order hearing is scheduled where in the court determines on a temporary basis, conservatorship, who live Where, who pays for what, possession and access of the children and what other steps need to be taken between the temporary order hearing and a final trial. A court might order a child custody evaluation if child custody is disputed, or the judge might appoint an amicus attorney. If there is a business involved, a business valuation might be necessary. If the parties don’t agree on the fair market value of the marital residence, it might be necessary to value that as well. If there are commingled assets, you will likely need to hire a forensic accountant to trace accounts and investments to determine what portion are community and what portion are separate.

In your initial in your initial consultation with your attorney, it is imperative that you address all of the issues in your matter and what you anticipate will be disputed.

Your attorney, paralegal and other legal staff are present to shepherd you through the divorce process. You provide the facts of the case, your legal staff will provide the legal knowledge and together, you will design a strategy to achieve your goals.
