Re: Counselling

In some courts if you have children you will have to complete a parenting class. If you have a large estate and want a disproportionate share you will need to prove adultery. Contact us if you need more help.

Re: Counselling

Judges will NOT require counseling.

Texas has no fault divorces.

Adultery is only necessary for property division.

Please retain an attorney to discuss your case in detail.
