Understanding Family Litigation in Texas

Family litigation encompasses any family law matter that requires resolution in court when negotiation or mediation fails. These cases often involve deeply personal and sensitive issues that affect the most important relationships in your life. Our attorneys are committed to handling these matters with professionalism, discretion, and unwavering advocacy.

Family litigation in Montgomery County may involve:

• Contested divorces
• Child custody and visitation disputes
• Property and asset division
• Spousal maintenance (alimony) disagreements
• Enforcement of existing court orders
• Modifications to custody or support
• Domestic violence and protective order hearings
• Complex marital estate disputes
• Grandparent and third-party custody cases

Whether your case involves financial complexities or contested parenting issues, we are prepared to advocate for your interests both in and out of the courtroom.

When Family Litigation Becomes Necessary

While many family law cases can be resolved through mediation or collaborative law, some disputes require formal litigation. Litigation may become necessary when:

• One or both parties refuse to cooperate or negotiate
• There are allegations of abuse, neglect, or violence
• One spouse conceals assets or withholds information
• Custody or visitation terms are highly contested
• There is a need for urgent court orders for protection or child safety
• Settlement negotiations have broken down

Our attorneys work diligently to explore peaceful solutions first, but when settlement is not possible, we are fully prepared to present a clear, persuasive case in court.

The Family Litigation Process

Litigation in family law follows a structured legal process designed to ensure fairness and full consideration of all facts. At Lindamood & Robinson, P.C., we guide clients through every stage, providing clarity and confidence at each step.

1. Case Evaluation and Strategy: We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals, challenges, and priorities. From there, we develop a strategic litigation plan.
2. Filing and Pleadings: We prepare and file all necessary legal documents, including petitions, responses, and motions, in the Montgomery County family courts.
3. Discovery: Both sides exchange information, financial records, and evidence to prepare for trial. This stage may involve depositions, interrogatories, and document review.
4. Temporary Orders: The court may issue temporary rulings for custody, support, or property use while the case is pending.
5. Mediation or Settlement Conferences: Even during litigation, many courts encourage further settlement discussions before trial.
6. Trial: If settlement is not reached, we present your case before a judge—using evidence, witnesses, and expert testimony to support your position.
7. Post-Trial Motions and Enforcement: After the court’s decision, we ensure the judgment is properly enforced and assist with any necessary modifications or appeals.

Our attorneys maintain steady communication throughout the process so you are always informed and supported.

Evidence and Preparation in Family Litigation

In any family law trial, preparation is key. Success often depends on the strength of the evidence presented and the credibility of witnesses. Our attorneys meticulously prepare your case by gathering and analyzing:

• Financial records, tax returns, and account statements

Montgomery County Family Litigation FAQs

What is family litigation?

Family litigation refers to resolving family law disputes through the court system when mediation or informal negotiation fails to reach an agreement.

How long does family litigation take?

Timelines vary depending on the complexity of the case, cooperation between parties, and court availability. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others take longer.

Can I avoid litigation?

In many cases, yes. Mediation or collaborative law can help avoid litigation, but when the other party refuses to cooperate or issues involve safety or serious disputes, court intervention may be necessary.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Bring financial documents, court orders, communication records, and any evidence related to your dispute. This helps us assess your situation accurately.

How are temporary orders issued during litigation?

Temporary orders establish short-term custody, support, and property arrangements while the case is pending. They remain in place until a final judgment is entered.

Can I change my attorney during litigation?

Yes, you have the right to change attorneys at any time, though it is best to do so early in the process to avoid disruption.

Will my case go before a jury?

Most family law cases in Texas are heard by a judge, though limited issues (like property characterization) may sometimes involve a jury.

How much does family litigation cost?

Costs vary depending on the complexity of the case and the level of conflict. We provide clear estimates and cost-effective strategies to manage expenses.

What happens if the other party violates the court’s final order?

You can file an enforcement motion. The court may impose penalties such as fines, wage garnishment, or even jail time for noncompliance.

Do I have to attend every court hearing?

In most cases, yes. However, some hearings can be handled by your attorney with your permission, depending on the court’s requirements.
