Do you need a wedding to be married?

In Texas, the answer might surprise you. A couple can be legally married without a ceremony through a common law marriage, but only if specific requirements are met. Simply living together isn’t enough.

For couples who choose to live together without being legally married, it’s important to understand how to protect your interests. A cohabitation agreement can help define expectations around finances, property, and responsibilities, offering clarity and peace of mind for both parties.

Taking proactive steps now can help prevent confusion and conflict down the road.

Do you know what an SPO is?

In Texas, a Standard Possession Order (SPO) outlines when each parent spends time with their child after a divorce or custody case. It is often the default schedule courts use to create structure, consistency, and meaningful time with both parents.

From weekdays and weekends to holidays and summer breaks, an SPO helps set clear expectations. However, it is not one-size-fits-all. Every family is different, and in some cases, schedules can be customized to support your child’s needs better.

Understanding how an SPO works is an important step in making informed decisions for your family’s future. Working with an experienced family law attorney who takes the time to understand your unique situation can help ensure your parenting plan truly supports both you and your child. That is something our team is committed to every step of the way.
