Family legal matters are personal. They are some of the most consequential decisions you will make. Who keeps the house. How assets are divided. What happens to the business you built together. These are not just legal questions. They are life questions.
​
Mickey Law Group approaches family law the same way we approach everything: with clear strategy, honest guidance, and a focus on protecting what matters most to you. We are not here to escalate conflict. We are here to help you move forward with your interests and your stability intact.
​
WHAT WE HANDLE
Divorce and Property Division
Texas is a community property state, which means assets acquired during marriage are generally considered shared property. But the reality is rarely that simple. Business interests, retirement accounts, real estate, and debts all require careful analysis and strategic negotiation.
​
We help clients navigate the divorce process with a focus on fair and informed outcomes. Our approach prioritizes resolution over prolonged litigation, but when negotiation is not enough, we are prepared to advocate aggressively for your interests.
​
Protecting Business Interests in Divorce
If you own a business, divorce introduces a unique set of legal questions. How is the business valued? Is your spouse entitled to a share? How do you protect operations during the process? These are questions that require an attorney who understands both family law and business law.
​
Mickey Law Group brings that dual perspective. We help business owners protect their companies, their revenue, and their future during one of the most disruptive events a business can face.
​
Custody Disputes and Arrangements
Custody disputes are among the most emotionally charged and legally misunderstood areas of family law. Who gets the children, when, and under what terms are decisions that affect your family for years. And what most people believe about custody law is often very different from how it actually works.
​
Mickey Law Group helps clients navigate custody disputes with clarity and composure. We work to establish arrangements that prioritize stability for your children while protecting your rights as a parent. Whether you are negotiating a parenting plan as part of a divorce or addressing a modification to an existing custody order, we approach every case with the goal of reaching a resolution that works for your family.
​
Property and Asset Division
Dividing property involves more than splitting things down the middle. Separate property, inherited assets, commingled funds, and real estate holdings all require careful legal analysis. We work to ensure that what belongs to you stays with you, and that shared assets are divided fairly and strategically.
OUR APPROACH
Resolution First. Litigation When Necessary.
Not every divorce needs to be a battle. Many can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, or collaborative processes that protect both parties and reduce the emotional and financial toll.
But when a case requires litigation, we are ready. Mickey Law Group has experience in both negotiated settlements and contested proceedings at the state level. Our goal is always the outcome that best protects your interests and allows you to move forward.

​FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
​
How is property divided in a Texas divorce?
Texas is a community property state. Assets acquired during the marriage are generally considered community property and subject to division. However, separate property, such as assets owned before the marriage or received as gifts or inheritance, may remain with the original owner. The division must be "just and right," which does not always mean equal.
​
What if my spouse and I own a business together?
Business valuation and division is one of the most complex aspects of divorce. We work with clients to determine the value of the business, assess each spouse’s contribution, and develop a strategy that protects the business while ensuring a fair outcome.
​
Do I need a lawyer for my divorce?
You are not required to have an attorney, but divorce involves legal decisions that affect your finances, your property, and your future. Having an attorney ensures your rights are protected and that you are making informed decisions throughout the process.
​
How long does a divorce take in Texas?
Texas requires a minimum 60-day waiting period from the date a divorce petition is filed. The actual timeline depends on the complexity of the case, whether the divorce is contested, and how quickly both parties can reach agreement on the terms.
​
How much does it cost?
We offer transparent pricing and will discuss fees during your initial consultation. The cost depends on the complexity of the case and whether litigation is required.
