Divorce | Texas Law Help

Divorce is how you legally end a marriage. In a divorce, the court formalizes who has custody of children, pays support, controls property, and is responsible for debts. The guides and articles in this section can answer questions about dissolving a marriage. Guides are meant for cases where the spouses agree on everything, or where one of the spouses is unlikely to take part in the divorce process.
