How is Family Law different in Texas?
Family law in Texas has some unique aspects compared to other states, largely due to its specific statutes and legal principles. Here are a few key differences:
- Community Property State: Texas qualifies as a community property state, which means that couples generally consider most property acquired during marriage as jointly owned and they divide it equally in a divorce, unless a court decides that a different division is fair and just.
- Child Custody (Conservatorship): Texas uses the term “conservatorship” instead of “custody.” The law encourages parents to engage in joint managing conservatorship, allowing both parents to share rights and responsibilities. However, one parent may have the right to decide the child’s primary residence.
- Spousal Maintenance: Texas has strict guidelines for spousal maintenance (alimony); consequently, it is not automatically granted. Instead, it is typically limited in both duration and amount. Various factors, such as the length of the marriage and the financial situation of the spouse seeking support, determine this limitation. Therefore, understanding these criteria is essential for individuals to navigate the process effectively.
- Common Law Marriage: Texas recognizes common law marriage, meaning that if a couple meets specific criteria, such as agreeing to be married and living together as a married couple, they can be considered legally married without a formal ceremony or license.
- Parenting Plans: Texas requires a parenting plan in cases involving children, which outlines conservatorship, possession, and access schedules, as well as child support obligations.
- Child Support Guidelines: Texas has a unique formula for calculating child support, which is based on a percentage of the non-custodial parent’s net income. Additionally, there are caps on the amount of income that is considered in this calculation. Consequently, understanding these guidelines is essential for both parents to ensure fair support arrangements.

What Clients Are Saying
“I’ve known many attorneys throughout my career, both personally and professionally. Rob Biggers is not only knowledgeable and thorough, but personable as well. Doesn’t talk at you, but actually listens and offers options. I highly recommend.” – R. Scott Harris
“Graham Law Firm was absolutely key to ensuring my family received appropriate legal care for a custody matter that crossed state lines and jurisdictions. Furthermore, they were knowledgeable about rights and boundaries regarding military members in custody/divorce/litigation matters. Grant was amazing and always gave me the no-BS low-down; he was clear, informed me of potential issues, went the direction I asked, but still kept me abreast of any consequences that could follow a potential action. He never withheld information, and despite the long drawn-out nature of my case, kept it moving and kept me abreast. I’m pleased to say that my child support matter was resolved in a way that benefitted my child, AND fixed long-standing issues from my last legal documentation from a different firm. Thank you! “ – Kayla R.
“I have used the Graham Law Firm twice over the last 7 years. Cody and his staff are very helpful and attentive to all my needs and questions. Thank you for all you have done. Sincerely, A very happy customer.” – Louise W.
