| Child Custody |
|
| Texas child custody cases may arise as part of a divorce proceeding or a separate action, known as a Suit Affecting Parent Child Relationship ("SAPCR"). Custody orders may also be modified by later court action in suits to modify custody. Paternity may also be established in a suit. Once paternity is established, a party is responsible to pay support and may seek to have custody rights through a SAPCR. (more info) |

| Prenuptial Agreement |
|
| Texas is a community property state wherein spouses during the marriage both acquire an ownership interest in acquired property. However, upon dissolution of a marriage, the court may order a division of property that is not equal. (more info) |

| Annulment |
|
| Not all Texas marriages are dissolved by divorce, a few are voided by court order. Some marriages may automatically qualify for annulment (in cases where Texas law does not allow marriage due to conditions of the parties) or they may be annulled after certain allegations are proven by the party requesting the annulment.

| Paternity in Texas may be either presumed or established. Should a child be born to a married couple, the husband will be the presumed father of the child. Paternity may also be established by a male signing as a father on a birth certificate or other formal record. (more info) |
