Last updated on July 7, 2025
The divorce process can be emotionally and financially draining, especially when it involves property division, child custody and financial planning. Working with a divorce attorney helps you understand your rights and obligations while handling the Texas legal system.
At Ward, Myers & Stallings, we understand the challenges individuals face when planning for divorce. Based in Midland, our attorneys have extensive experience guiding clients through the divorce process. Whether you need assistance determining how to file for divorce, negotiating child custody agreements or addressing financial concerns, we are here to help.
What To Expect During The Divorce Process
The divorce process depends on the complexity of your case, but it involves several stages, including filing, negotiation and settlement or trial. When you file for divorce, you will need to:
- Gather financial documents
- Identify assets and debts
- Create a plan for child custody if children are involved
Throughout the divorce process, emotions can run high and challenges may arise. Working with our experienced divorce attorneys can provide you with the clarity and assertive advocacy you need during this period.
Factors To Consider When Divorcing With Children
When a divorce involves children, their well-being becomes a major concern for many parents. Texas courts prioritize the best interest of the child, taking into account a range of factors:
- What the child wants, especially those aged 12 and up
- The child’s current and future needs, focusing on their emotional and physical well-being
- Any potential emotional or physical danger to the child
- Each parent’s ability to effectively care for the child
- Each parent’s plans for the child’s upbringing and daily life
- Stability of the home environment that each parent can provide
- Any acts or omissions of the parent that may show that the existing parent-child relationship is not healthy or appropriate
Our attorneys can assist you in creating a comprehensive parenting plan that addresses child custody arrangements and support. We can also assist in drafting detailed visitation schedules.
If you are concerned about future changes, such as a co-parent’s remarriage or relocation, our team can walk you through the process of modifying existing custody or support orders. Whether you’re going through an amicable divorce or need strong protection of your parental rights and access to your children, our attorneys will provide the guidance and advocacy necessary to support your family’s needs.
Protecting Your Assets And Properties During Divorce
Divorce cases involving complex assets require a meticulous and strategic approach. At Ward, Myers & Stallings, we have extensive experience handling divorces for individuals with significant holdings, including:
- Complex assets: Our attorneys are well-versed in dividing high-value assets such as large investment portfolios and business interests, partnering with financial professionals to ensure an equitable distribution
- Retirement accounts: Dividing 401(k)s, IRAs and pensions can be particularly challenging, so our attorneys will work to protect your retirement savings and pursue a division that reflects your contributions and entitlements
- Multiple properties: If you and your spouse own several homes or properties, we carefully assess their value and ownership, advocating for a fair division that considers property appreciation, rental income and tax implications
- Business ownership: When a business is part of the divorce, we collaborate with forensic accountants and business valuation professionals to accurately value it and determine the most equitable division or compensation arrangement
- Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements: If you have a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement in place, our attorneys will carefully review its terms and assist you in enforcing or modifying it as necessary
Our team of experienced attorneys has a deep understanding of the complexities and nuances of family law. We will work with you to understand your needs and goals and develop a plan that meets your circumstances.
