Austin Family Law And Personal Injury Blog

Texas residents going through a divorce have quite a few issues to address to resolve the case, but perhaps none are as important as the main issues that involve children: child custody and child support. Each family is different, so, in many cases, different child custody arrangements may work better for one family over another. What is important is to get the right child custody arrangement for your family.

Doing so, however, is oftentimes easier said than done. For starters, the couple going through the divorce, in many cases, has built-up animosity that may make it difficult to negotiate an agreement on child custody out of court. In other cases, even though the couple may be amicable enough with one other, their opinions may differ so much that it could be difficult for them to reach a good arrangement.

Hundreds of Texas residents are involved in car accidents each year. Many are simple fender-benders, while others are quite serious. When damage to property and injuries to drivers and passengers occur, the victims will want to be sure to take the right steps to protect their legal rights.

In most cases, this can be accomplished by the investigation that law enforcement officials conduct when they report to the scene of the accident. It is oftentimes quite easy to establish fault for an accident, such as in a rear-end collision. However, other accidents call for more significant analysis and may include differing version of the events leading up to the crash.

So, what do our readers need to know about property division and divorce?

Well, for starters, it is important to understand that not only will property be divided, but debt will be divided as well. It is quite common these days for many households to have debts for various reasons, including credit card debt, student loan debt and home and automobile loans. While a married couple going through a divorce will be dividing the assets, they will also need to address debts.
