Texas Family Law guides

All law guides →

Plain-English guides to the law. General information, not legal advice.

Adoption Process in Texas

Texas adoption involves consent rules, a court-supervised home study, and (for newborn adoptions) a state-specific revocation window. Irrevocable after 11 days from signing (and signed at least 48 hours after birth).

Spousal Maintenance in Texas: How It Works

Texas calls it spousal maintenance. STRICT eligibility (10+ year marriage, family violence, or disability).

Annulment in Texas

An annulment in Texas declares that a marriage was never legally valid — different from divorce, which ends a valid marriage. Grounds vary; common ones include Underage (16-18 without consent), mental incapacity, intoxication.

Child Custody and Best Interests of the Child in Texas

Texas child-custody decisions are governed by the "best interests of the child" standard. STRONG presumption that BOTH parents will be appointed Joint Managing Conservators (JMC). One parent is typically named the primary conservator who establishes the child's residence.

Child Emancipation in Texas

Texas child emancipation generally requires age 16 or older, plus showing the minor can support themselves and emancipation is in their best interest.

Child Relocation Rules in Texas

Texas child-relocation requires court approval (or other parent's consent) for most moves that materially affect parenting time. Notice + court approval for moves outside the geographic area.

Child Support Calculations in Texas

Texas calculates child support using the Percentage of Income model. The non-custodial parent's income is multiplied by a fixed percentage (set by statute and tied to the number of children) to produce the support amount.

Cohabitation Agreements + Unmarried Couples in Texas

Texas unmarried couples have NO automatic rights to property, support, or inheritance — cohabitation agreements + careful estate planning are the only protection. "Common-law marriage" is rare + specific.

Collaborative Divorce in Texas

Texas collaborative divorce — both parties + attorneys agree NOT to litigate, instead use team approach with neutrals. If process fails, attorneys must withdraw, creating strong incentive to settle.

Common-Law Marriage in Texas

Texas is one of only a handful of states that still recognizes common-law marriage. Couples meeting the requirements have the same rights as ceremonially-married couples.

Family-Court Contempt in Texas

Texas family-court contempt enforces divorce decrees, child-support orders, and custody arrangements — civil contempt for compliance, criminal contempt for punishment. Jail time is real possibility for willful violators.

Divorce Grounds in Texas

Texas allows both no-fault and traditional fault-based divorces. Most divorces use the no-fault path: insupportability — discord/conflict that prevents reasonable expectation of reconciliation.
