Types of Divorce

Divorces can vary greatly, with different circumstances affecting their complexity. Here are some common types:

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce occurs when both parties agree on how to handle the separation. While major issues might be agreed upon, negotiating the details can be challenging. Your divorce lawyer can assist in reaching fair terms with your ex or their attorneys.

Contested Divorce

A contested divorce happens when the parties cannot agree on certain issues, potentially leading to a trial. While reaching an agreement with your ex is often preferable, some issues may be worth fighting for. A Pearland divorce attorney can help you identify which issues are worth pursuing and which might be better to set aside.

Mediated Divorce

In a mediated divorce, the spouses or their lawyers work with a neutral mediator to resolve their differences. The mediator helps find common ground or viable compromises. Having your lawyer present ensures that the agreement is fair and in your best interest.

Collaborative Divorce

A collaborative divorce involves both parties working together to resolve the issues without going to court. This method is most effective when both individuals are willing to negotiate to avoid a more expensive and time-consuming court process.

Divorces Involving Businesses

Divorces involving businesses add extra layers of complexity. Whether dealing with a family business or a new startup, it must be properly categorized and divided. A business divorce attorney from Kersh Family Law can guide you through how your divorce might impact your business.

Professional Divorces

For professionals with demanding careers, balancing work and divorce proceedings can be challenging. Our experienced attorneys can help manage the process efficiently while you focus on your career.

High Net Worth Divorce

High net worth divorces involve complex financial issues. Since marriage is viewed as a partnership, wealth accrued during the marriage must be divided equitably. While you might want to protect your assets, hiding assets is illegal. A Pearland divorce attorney can help you navigate these challenges while maintaining transparency.

High Asset Divorce

In high asset divorces, community assets must be divided between you and your ex. Negotiating the division of high-value assets can be complicated, and reaching an agreement might be difficult. Texas law requires assets to be divided in a “just and right” manner. We can advocate on your behalf for a fair outcome.

Modification of Divorce Decrees

Once a divorce is finalized, the court issues a decree that outlines the terms. Sometimes, it becomes necessary to modify this decree if one party cannot meet the obligations. An attorney from Kersh Family Law can assist with the modification process if needed.

Grounds for Divorce in Pearland

Under Texas law, divorce can be granted on grounds of insupportability, which means discord or conflict of personalities that destroys the marital relationship and prevents reconciliation. This operates as a no-fault provision. Other common grounds include:

  • Cruelty that makes living together intolerable.
  • Adultery

Other fault-based grounds exist but are less frequently applied.

Annulling a Marriage

Texas law provides for annulments if a marriage is either ‘void’ or ‘voidable.’ A marriage is void if it was invalid from the beginning, and voidable if significant facts unknown at the time would have prevented marriage. Grounds for annulment include:

  • One party was underage without parental consent or a court order.
  • The petitioner was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of marriage.
  • Permanent impotency at the time of marriage unknown to the petitioner.
  • Fraud, duress, or force.
  • Lack of mental capacity to consent.
  • Concealment of a recent divorce.
  • Marriage within 72 hours of license issuance, with the annulment petition filed within 30 days.

For annulment, the petitioner must not cohabit with the other spouse after discovering the issue or after ceasing to be under the influence of the grounds for annulment.
