Divorce
-
People make so many assumptions about how property is divided in a Texas divorce, but the law is complicated, and the appropriate property division is often not what you think.
-
You won’t find the word Alimony in the Texas statutes that govern divorce, and you may hear people say that Texas is a No-Alimony state, which means you may think that Alimony won’t play a role in your divorce. More often than not, Alimony needs to be considered as part of the strategy for your divorce.
-
When you have significant child custody disputes, everything is on the line. At Lazar Law, we know how to try child custody cases, and we are not afraid to fight for your children and your parental rights in court. That gives us an advantage at the negotiation table because when you are fighting for your kids, it isn’t about money, and you need a law firm that will go the distance for you.
-
Texas child custody law recognizes the importance of maintaining frequent contact between the child and each parent. Texas child custody orders in a divorce will therefore most likely include periods of possession that optimize the development of a close and continuing relationship between the children and both parents.
-
The obligation to pay child support kicks in when parents no longer live together and a court order for child support sets out enforceable legal rights and responsibilities with consequences in the event child support is not paid.

Child support in Texas may seem formulaic, but you must understand how the formulas work in order to calculate child support properly.

Marital Agreements, also known as prenuptial agreements (pre-marriage) and postnuptial agreements (during marriage), are legal contracts that couples can use to define their rights and obligations regarding property and finances in a way that is different from how Texas law would automatically define their property rights in marriage.

Every step of the legal process was explained in layman’s terms so we understood each action that was being taken and why, this was crucial in keeping us sane during this stressful case. All members of the team knew what was happening in our case when we reached out, it is truly a team effort and amazing how seamlessly they work together and keep up with everything. Can not say enough good things about Lazar Law.”

Jodi Lazar and her team are the best family law attorneys in town and her whole team are more than a pleasure to work with!! My princess is finally back home with her daddy!! Thank you, Lazar team.”

“Jodi and her team were incredible! She helped us help our elderly mother through a divorce. It was challenging at all levels and Jodi and her team protected our mom and cared for her as if she were their own.
Jodi fought for us, was well prepared, and took us all through the process as efficiently as possible. Thank you to Lazar Law for making an unbearable event easier to get through!”
Debora T.
“Jodi Lazar and the entire team are outstanding! I call them the “Dream Team”. They made the whole unpleasant process of divorce go smoothly. They made me feel at ease and comfortable with the process. They are so on top of things and so efficient and were also kind, patient, and very helpful in explaining things to me as we went along.
My ex-husband ended up firing his attorney, and we did mediation. He often commented that he felt very comfortable with Jodi and the team. I think that says a lot. We were able to have a divorce that ran very smoothly, it wasn’t ugly, and both sides were very pleased with the service we received from the “Dream Team” at Lazar Law.
You will be in EXCELLENT hands! I wish I could give higher than 5 stars!”
