Is There a Best Divorce Lawyer in Arlington, TX?

​

The question ultimately is not who is the best divorce lawyer, but who is the best divorce lawyer for you.

​

Beal Law Firm has what you need if you're in the market for skilled divorce lawyers in Arlington, Texas. With over 30 years of experience working in family law matters, we can help guide you through the divorce process as smoothly as possible. 

​

Legally dissolving a marriage can become convoluted when navigating the division of personal or business property, child custody or support payments, or when you or your spouse are active military members. However, a Beal Law Firm divorce attorney serving Arlington is well-equipped to keep you from drowning in complex paperwork and help you maintain a level head during high-tension meetings. 

​

Collaborative or Contested Divorce

​

In Texas, you can choose to process your divorce in one of two ways. The traditional way to process a divorce is as a contested divorce using the Litigation Model. Through the Litigation Model, clients going through a divorce go through negotiation stages between their spouses, their lawyers, mediation, and possibly trial if things aren't settled during the previous stages. A litigated divorce – whether contested or uncontested – may be more beneficial for you if you have had issues in your marriage regarding domestic or substance abuse, large amounts of assets, or if you or your spouse are in the military. 

 

Suppose you have concerns about privacy or want a more harmonious approach towards co-parenting in different households. In that case, collaborative divorce may be a better option than the traditional litigation process. The key to a collaborative divorce is the agreement between spouses that they will not contest their issues in court. However, the option to move to a litigation process involving a court is always available should the need arise. During a collaborative divorce, each spouse will work with a collaborative divorce lawyer and two neutral professionals: a Mental Health Professional, like a licensed psychologist or clinical social worker, and a Financial Professional, like a Certified Personal Accountant or Certified Financial Planner. 

 

The goal of a collaborative divorce is to have private meetings with your spouse that the neutral Mental Health Professional leads to reach common ground regarding parenting schedules and responsibilities. The Financial Professional gathers your and your spouse's financial information and assists in creating budgets. 

 

Our divorce lawyers serving Arlington, Texas, are more than capable of helping you through this intricate and strenuous process so that you can move forward as quickly as possible with the best possible outcome. 

​

Special Circumstances That Can Complicate Divorce

 

Since 1992, we have helped thousands of clients through various situations that can affect the process of divorce. In Texas, finalizing a divorce cannot be done until at least 60 days have passed since the petition for the divorce was filed. Still, it is common for the negotiations or trial to drag the case on for longer, especially if your divorce is heavily contested. Many unique circumstances can further complicate divorce proceedings, such as:

 

  • High net worth and many assets

  • One or both spouses are members of the military

  • Divorcing later in life

  • Divorcing from a foreign national

  • One or both spouses are professional athletes

  • High emotional tension/vengefulness between the spouses

 

Having an experienced divorce attorney that serves Arlington that knows the Texas family law code and is committed to understanding each detail of your particular situation will help you put your best foot forward when dissolving your marriage. With an attorney from Beal Law Firm, you can rest assured that they can guide you through even the most arduous divorce proceedings.
