Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: Possible Divorce

You are right to be realistic about your future. Additionally, however, it is more important to save your family, if it is viable option.

In the interim, be sure that you have clarity and awareness and documentation of all income and expenses in the household. If there are fault grounds leading to a divorce, such as adultery, drug abuse, violence, etc, then documentation should also be acquired. Be a present and concerned parent to your children, and do not disparage their mother. One because it isn't fair to her, and two it could easily backfire on you.

It is wrong to hide assets, however, you may need to protect liquid assets so that you have access to attorney fees and living expenses in the event counseling is unsuccessful. Moreover, if money management has been an issue in the marriage, then you may need to protect the kids' future. A consultation with an attorney will provided you with specific options.
