Galveston Divorce Lawyer

Galveston Divorce Attorney Serving Texas

If your marriage has broken down, you are likely to experience a wide variety of difficulties. Dealing with the emotional turmoil related to relationship issues with your spouse is hard enough on its own, but if you are considering ending your marriage, you will also be concerned about your finances, your living arrangements, your children, and any other areas of your life that will be affected. On top of all of this, you will need to deal with the legal aspects of divorce that will need to be addressed in order to dissolve your marriage. While these concerns can seem overwhelming, a skilled family law attorney can help you get through the divorce process while protecting your rights and determining the best ways to resolve any disputes you may encounter.

At the law office of Daniel R. Bacalis, P.C., we work to ensure that our clients are fully informed about what to expect during the divorce process, and we provide them with guidance on the best ways to address the issues that may arise. Whether you believe you and your spouse will be able to cooperate and complete your divorce quickly and amicably, or you expect to encounter conflict that may lead to contentious disputes that must be settled in court, we can advise you on the best ways to proceed and help you reach an outcome that will allow you to leave this difficult time behind and move forward toward a more positive future.

Legal Help With All Aspects of the Divorce Process

There are multiple ways that you may choose to approach the end of your marriage, and depending on your ability to cooperate with your spouse, you may be able to pursue either an uncontested or contested divorce. Attorney Daniel Bacalis can advise you on how you may be able to negotiate a settlement, such as by using divorce mediation, or whether you may need to take legal action to resolve certain issues in the courtroom. He can help address issues related to:

• Marital property division - You and your spouse will need to determine how to handle multiple types of property that you own together, including personal property, household items, vehicles, valuables such as artwork or collectibles, stocks and bonds, retirement savings, business interests, and your family home or other real estate property. You will also need to determine how you and your spouse will divide the debts you owe. We can work with you to negotiate a property settlement that will protect your financial interests and provide you with the resources you need.
• Alimony/spousal maintenance - If either you or your spouse will require financial assistance in order to address ongoing needs, the court may order the other spouse to pay ongoing financial support during or after your divorce. We can provide guidance on how the laws related to spousal support will apply in your case, and we can advocate on your behalf to ensure that you will be able to maintain financial stability after your divorce has been finalized.
• Child custody and child support - If you share children with your spouse, you will need to determine how the two of you will share in the responsibilities of raising them and when they will live in each of your homes. We can help you determine how to resolve these matters in a way that will protect your children's best interests, and we will help you put child support orders in place to ensure that their financial needs will be met.
• Post-divorce modifications/enforcement - After the completion of your divorce, we can help address any further legal issues that may arise. If necessary, we can help you request modifications of child custody, child support, or spousal support based on changes that have affected you, your ex-spouse, or your children. We can also advise you on your options for enforcing court orders and making sure your ex-spouse will meet all of their legal requirements.
