Divorce

Divorce is an overwhelming and complex process that involves multiple personal, financial, and legal challenges. At the Law Office of Dayne Marguglio, we understand the gravity of this situation and offer experienced guidance to navigate these difficult times, ensuring the best interests of our clients and their children are protected. Our goal is to support clients to emerge from the divorce process both financially and emotionally intact, while maintaining privacy and dignity.

In a divorce, critical issues need resolution, including:

Asset Distribution
Under Texas law, marital property is classified into community and separate property. Community property, acquired during the marriage, is divided equitably, but not necessarily equally. Separate property, owned before marriage or received as a gift or inheritance, remains with the individual. Dayne Marguglio expertly handles property division, ensuring fairness and justice in the allocation.

Spousal Maintenance
Eligibility for spousal maintenance, or alimony, depends on certain criteria, such as the duration of the marriage and each spouse's financial needs. Dayne Marguglio assists in determining fair maintenance agreements, considering the financial health and needs of both parties.

Child Custody
Child custody decisions prioritize the child's best interests. Texas law typically favors joint custody, known as joint managing conservatorship, where both parents share responsibilities. Dayne Marguglio helps formulate parenting plans that outline custody arrangements, health care decisions, and child support, always focusing on the child's welfare.

Collaborative Divorce
Collaborative divorce allows couples to resolve issues amicably outside the courtroom. Dayne Marguglio offers collaborative law services, acting as a guide and counselor in negotiations, focusing on reaching mutually beneficial agreements.

Mediation
Mediation, a critical component of Texas divorces, involves neutral facilitation to resolve disputes over property, custody, and support. Dayne Marguglio offers mediation services, providing a confidential and controlled environment for couples to achieve amicable resolutions.
