You and your spouse entered into your marriage with the best of intentions, but less than five years later, you are now facing the fact that it just will not work out. Texas is one of the few community property states, which will affect how property division is handled during your divorce. The short-term nature of your marriage may limit how many of your assets will be divided, though.
Preparing for the financial changes that accompany divorce
For couples seeking a divorce in the state of Texas, each will face unique challenges depending on the circumstances surrounding their separation. For some couples, complicated decisions regarding child custody are inherent. For others, disagreements about spousal support will need to be solved. Then, there are other issues like separating assets that will require the attention and flexibility of both partners. One of the biggest changes that both people will face is an uncertain financial future. When people are proactive about protecting their financial health when a divorce is approaching, they may be better equipped to face the challenges head-on and maintain financial stability.

Your business might be an issue in your divorce
How to get your child's other parent involved after the divorce?
You have always been the parent who takes care of the primary responsibilities such as going to school conferences, shuttling your child to various sporting activities and making the doctor and dentist visits. After your Texas divorce, though, you may expect the other parent to start participating more. After all, his or her time is now limited by the custody schedule, and these responsibilities provide opportunities for more interactions with your child. How can you encourage more involvement?
