Aggressive Representation for Texas High Assets Divorce

We Fight for Your Best Interests

Divorce in Texas begins with the filing of a Petition for Divorce by either spouse. The grounds for divorce can be either fault-based (e.g., adultery, cruelty) or no-fault (e.g., insupportability). Once the petition is filed, the other spouse is served with divorce papers, and they must respond within a specified time frame.

Property Division

Property division during divorce is governed by community property laws, which means that assets and debts acquired during the marriage are generally divided equally between the spouses. However, achieving a fair and equitable division of property can be intricate, especially when dealing with high-value assets, business interests, or significant debts. We, as your legal representatives, will work diligently to ensure that all marital assets and debts are accurately assessed and fairly divided. Our role encompasses evaluating all forms of property, including real estate, investments, retirement accounts, and personal belongings

Child Custody

When dealing with child custody in a divorce, several key issues need to be addressed. One of the primary concerns is determining the type of custody arrangement that best suits your family's needs. This includes deciding between joint custody, where both parents share decision-making responsibilities and physical custody, and sole custody, where one parent has the primary decision-making authority and physical custody. We also assist in establishing visitation schedules that promote a healthy and stable environment for your children.

High Assets Division

In a high asset divorce, one of the primary concerns is the equitable division of substantial marital property. This may include real estate, investments, business interests, and other valuable assets. Our team is adept at identifying, valuing, and negotiating the division of these assets to ensure that your interests are protected. We employ a comprehensive approach to assess the full extent of your marital estate, ensuring that no asset is overlooked and that the division is fair and just.

Child Support

Another critical aspect of divorce is addressing issues of child support. We work diligently to ensure that child support arrangements are fair and adequate, reflecting the financial needs of your children and the capabilities of both parents. Our goal is to secure a support plan that provides for your children's well-being without causing undue financial strain on either parent.

Testimonials
A rating on AVVO posted November 3, 2016, 2016 by "Darren":Let me start by saying I highly recommend Brian Mcnamara. I have had to hire attorneys in the past and had poor experiences. So when I met Brian and his staff, I was pleasantly surprised. Brian was easy to work with, explained the process, helped me walk through what was legally possible and communicated well. He has the experience to truly inform you what is likely to happen. This kept my expectations in check and helped me plan for what lied ahead. I'm a father who loves his kid and I needed an ally who understood the process and where I was coming from. I doubt you could find better representation no matter what your situation.

A rating on AVVO posted November 2, 2016, 2016 by "Bill":Brian and I met because it was recommended I fire my current attorney due to her incompetency and sassy demeanor. At first meet it was the best 250 dollars I could have spent. Brian has been in family law practice many years and is well versed on what might or could happen. Well beyond my old attorney. I was well represented by him and even when we didn't agree he would still give his professional opinion.
A rating on AVVO posted November 2, 2016, 2016 by "Shawn":Tried to do a DIY divorce to keep costs down and had already used an attorney for some guidance which turned out to be a waste of time and money. Brian was knowledgeable and honest. He and his staff generated all the documents I needed to finish my divorce with ease. I made one mistake as i finished my "DIY" divorce and Brians staff helped me correct it. I would recommend Brian and his staff.

My husband and I had the privilege of being represented by attorney Aaron Wallace who was assisted by paralegal, Janette Gama, in our 2.5 year long custody battle. Aaron was phenomenal in educating us on the Texas Family Laws and kept us informed throughout the entire process. Aaron’s expertise helped guide us on decision-making and court processes. Janette worked diligently to keep all exhibits organized and communicated any updates regarding the case in a timely manner. We were truly blessed to have had such an amazing team who were devoted to upholding justice and fair/equal parenting rights. Most importantly, Aaron persistently presented the children’s best interest to the judge and successfully achieved favor in granting my husband equal parenting time that not only he deserved, but that the children deserved as well. Our family is beyond happy with the outcome of this matter and we are forever grateful for the time and effort that Aaron poured into helping us get to this point. Thank you all so much for everything you all did for our family.

These people are amazing. They are helping my family through the worst event of our lives and I really couldn’t ask for a higher degree of professionalism and care. They are razor sharp and completely transparent about cost as much as possible.

They are not cheap and there are no guarantees but I believe they are absolutely worth it.

You get what you pay for.

Aaron has helped guide us through one of the most trying and difficult times in my family’s life. Throughout this entire journey Aaron has remained realistic, professional, and has truly cared about our families needs. Aaron was able to help us settle our case in mediation while giving us peace of mind. The professionalism and organization of The McNamara Law Firm was superb! Paralegal J. Gama always held her self in a professional, courteous and educated manner. We are truly grateful for their help and guidance. We will definitely choose Aaron again should we need to seek legal counsel in the future.
