Divorce in Texas
Texas is a “no-fault” divorce state, meaning you do not need to prove wrongdoing to dissolve your marriage. However, fault grounds—such as adultery, cruelty, or abandonment—can impact property division and even custody.
During a divorce, the court will decide:
- Property & debt division
- Child custody & visitation
- Child support
- Spousal maintenance
- Temporary orders
- Restraining orders
- Conservatorship and parental rights

Child Custody & Visitation (Parenting Time)
Texas uses the term “conservatorship” for custody. Most parents are named Joint Managing Conservators, but the court may appoint one parent as Sole Managing Conservator if it is in the child's best interest.
Custody decisions include:
- Where the child lives
- Parenting time schedules
- Decision-making authority
- Rights and duties
- Holiday and travel schedules
Judges prioritize the best interest of the child, which includes stability, emotional needs, safety, and parental involvement.

Child Support in Texas
Child support is calculated based on the paying parent's net income, using guideline percentages set out in the Texas Family Code. It covers basic expenses like food, housing, clothing, and medical care.
If income changes or the child's needs change, support can be modified. If a parent falls behind, support can be enforced through wage withholding, contempt, and other remedies.

Temporary Orders
In most family law cases, the court issues temporary orders to regulate:
- Who stays in the home
- Who pays which bills
- Temporary custody and visitation
- Temporary child support
- Temporary restraining orders
- Access to property and records
Temporary orders protect stability while the case is pending.
