Dissolution of Marriage

The dissolution of marriage—commonly known as divorce—is never an easy process. It involves emotional challenges, financial decisions, and major changes in family dynamics. At Ace Law, attorney Kevin Acevedo guides clients through every stage with compassion, clarity, and strong legal advocacy. Whether your case is amicable or contested, having experienced representation is essential to protect your rights and secure a fair outcome.

Grounds for Divorce in Texas

Texas allows for both no-fault and fault-based divorces.
A no-fault divorce is typically based on “insupportability,” meaning the marriage can no longer continue due to conflict or incompatibility.

Fault-based grounds may include:

• Adultery
• Cruelty
• Abandonment
• Conviction of a felony
• Living apart for an extended period

When fault is proven, it can influence decisions regarding property division, spousal support, and custody.

Key Issues Addressed During the Dissolution Process

When a marriage ends, several legal issues must be addressed before the divorce can be finalized. Ace Law helps clients navigate each of the following areas:

Division of Property and Assets

Texas is a community property state, meaning most assets and debts acquired during the marriage belong to both spouses.
Attorney Kevin Acevedo works to ensure assets such as homes, vehicles, retirement accounts, investments, and business interests are divided fairly.

Child Custody and Parenting Plans

If children are involved, the court must establish custody arrangements that prioritize the child’s best interests.
This includes conservatorship (legal custody), possession schedules, visitation, and decision-making rights.

Child Support

Child support orders are determined based on Texas guidelines, considering income, number of children, and other factors.
Ace Law ensures support arrangements are fair and sustainable.

Spousal Maintenance (Alimony)

Spousal maintenance may be awarded in cases involving financial disparity between spouses.
The court evaluates factors such as marriage length, financial resources, work history, and earning ability.

Contested vs. Uncontested Divorce

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce occurs when spouses agree on all major issues—property division, custody, support, and more.
This process is typically faster, less expensive, and less stressful.

Contested Divorce

A contested divorce arises when disagreements require court intervention.
These cases may involve complex financial issues, disputed custody, or allegations of misconduct.
Kevin Acevedo provides strong representation to protect clients’ interests in mediation, negotiations, and court hearings.

The Importance of Skilled Legal Representation

Even when a divorce begins peacefully, complications can arise. Emotions, finances, and parenting challenges often lead to conflict.
With Ace Law, clients gain a knowledgeable advocate who ensures:

• All paperwork is filed correctly
• Deadlines are met
• Rights are protected during negotiations
• Agreements are fair and enforceable
• The final decree reflects your best interests

Modifications After Divorce

Life continues to change after the divorce is finalized.
If a significant change occurs—such as relocation, income adjustments, health issues, or safety concerns—modification of custody, support, or visitation orders may be necessary.
Ace Law assists clients in requesting and defending modification petitions.
