Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions most clients have before their first conversation.

What should I bring to my first consultation?
A summary of your situation, any relevant documents (marriage certificate, existing agreements, financial records), and a list of your primary concerns. If you do not have everything organized, that is completely fine. The first meeting is about understanding your situation.
How long does a typical divorce take in Texas?
Texas requires a minimum 60-day waiting period after filing. Uncontested divorces can be finalized shortly after that period. Contested cases involving custody, property division, or disputes may take several months to over a year depending on complexity.
Do I need a prenuptial agreement?
A prenuptial agreement can provide clarity and protection for both parties, especially when there are significant assets, business interests, or children from prior relationships. Sarah can help you evaluate whether one makes sense for your situation.
How are fees structured?
Most family law matters are billed at an hourly rate with an initial retainer. Sarah provides transparent estimates during the first consultation so there are no surprises. Payment plans are available for qualifying clients.
Can we settle without going to court?
Many family law matters are resolved through negotiation or mediation without ever going to trial. Sarah prioritizes collaborative solutions whenever possible, but is fully prepared to advocate in court when necessary.
