Frequently Asked Questions
Is Texas a No-Fault State?
Yes, Texas allows no-fault divorce. However, a fault-based divorce may be strategic in cases involving adultery or cruelty.
How Do You Begin the Divorce Process in San Antonio?
To file in Bexar County, one spouse must have lived in Texas for six months and the county for 90 days. Divorces involving children also require a SAPCR (Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship) to address custody and support.
How Can a San Antonio Divorce Attorney Help You With the Next Steps?

- Our team helps clients reach constructive agreements whenever possible and represents them in court when needed.
- Our firm guides clients through all options—mediation, collaborative law, or litigation—to achieve the best outcome.
