TESTIMONIALS

Client Reviews

Kourtney DiGulio

Aimee was a God send. She was able to negotiate the terms we desired for custody. We received everything we wanted and more! She doesn’t back down and advocates for her client. Aimee has a great rapport with Galveston Co courts and is respected in the court room.

Elissa Farmer

Aimee worked her but off for us. She got us custody in a very difficult situation and was always there every time we had a question, or when situations got worse she was ready to do what she needed to legally to get it taken care of. She is the person you want in your corner.

Alicia Hall

Aimee is well-respected among the family law bar and an asset to the counties she serves. I refer cases to her often and value her as an extremely capable colleague.

Chrissie Rose

Amy is an exceptional attorney with extensive experience. She helped me win three complex cases effortlessly and even secured attorney’s fees, which is rare in family cases. Despite her young age, Amy’s knowledge and dedication are remarkable.

Bradley Donahoo

Aimee got everything I wanted and more! If you need help fighting for rights for your child. Go see Aimee! She works well with fathers wanting full custody.

Leah

Aimee is AMAZING! She will actually listen to you and actually help you! I was so lost and she gave me all the information I needed and was able to help me get a resolution! I could never recommend anyone else but Aimee!

Q: How long will the divorce process take?

In Texas, theres a mandatory 60-day waiting period from the date of filing before a divorce can be finalized. However, the actual duration can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the case and whether its contested or uncontested. Uncontested divorces can be finalized shortly after the 60-day period, while contested divorces may take several months to over a year.

Q: Will alimony be awarded, and if so, how much?

In Texas, alimony (called spousal maintenance) is not automatic and is only awarded under specific circumstances, such as when a spouse lacks sufficient property or income to provide for their basic needs. The amount and duration are determined by factors including the marriage length, each spouses ability to provide for themselves, and contributions to the marriage.

Q: How are assets and debts divided in divorce?

Texas is a community property state. Generally, any assets or debts acquired during the marriage are considered community property and are subject to a just and right division, which often means a 50/50 split. However, separate property (acquired before marriage or through inheritance/gift) typically remains with the original owner.

Q: Who will keep the family home?

The family home, if acquired during the marriage, is typically considered community property. The court may award it to one spouse (especially if they have primary custody of children) or order it sold with proceeds divided. This decision depends on various factors including each spouses financial situation and the best interests of any children.

Q: Who will have custody of the children?

In Texas, custody (called conservatorship) is determined based on the best interests of the child. The court prefers joint managing conservatorship when possible, where both parents share decision-making responsibilities. However, one parent is often named the primary conservator, with whom the child primarily resides.

Q: How will retirement accounts and pensions be split?

Retirement accounts and pensions accumulated during the marriage are generally considered community property and subject to division. This often involves a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) to divide these assets without incurring penalties.

Q: How much child support will be paid?

Child support in Texas is calculated using a percentage of the non-custodial parents net income, based on the number of children. For one child, its typically 20% of net income, increasing for additional children. Theres a cap on the amount of income considered for these calculations.

Q: What tax implications will the divorce have?

Divorce can have significant tax implications. These may include changes in filing status, dependency exemptions for children, taxation of property transfers, and potential tax consequences of alimony payments. Its advisable to consult with a tax professional to understand the specific implications for your situation.
