Fort Worth Family Law Attorney

The end of a marriage, and the process of divorce in general, can be one of the most emotionally and financially trying times of your life, particularly if you have children.  What may seem like a “simple uncontested divorce” often escalates into a tug of war between you and your spouse. You likely will go through stages of guilt, anger, resentment, sadness, and disappointment.

If children are involved, they can become victims of the divorce if measures are not taken to provide children with the sense that divorce does not mean the end of their family, and that the breakup of the marriage is not their fault.  An even higher level of commitment to your children is needed when mom and dad are no longer together.

For you, dealing with the separation from your spouse, the division of property, custody issues of the children, financial obligations, and the family residence can all take its toll.  Although it may feel like it now, your life is not over.  It will be a challenge working through all of these issues, but it can be done in a way that leaves you without feeling as if your world has collapsed.  As an Family Law Attorney, Mr. Rice can help you work through these challenges.

How to file for divorce

Filing for divorce involves careful consideration of your entire family situation and includes a complexity of many issues other than just a separation from your spouse.  The Family Law Court will examine almost every aspect of your life including your bank accounts, health and life insurance coverage, living arrangements, the needs of your child, retirement accounts, business holdings, and a host of other issues.  Emotions often get in the way of properly addressing all the issues involved in a divorce case.  During this difficult time it is important to have someone with the expertise to analyze each of these issues and to walk you through the process carefully in order to protect the interests of you and your children for the future.
