Anyone who's preparing to file for divorce or a suit affecting the parent-child relationship needs to be aware of the family law standing orders of their county. Not all counties in Texas have a standing order, but many do. To find out what this could mean for you, take a look at my latest post about the family law standing order in Collin County, which operates very similarly to the standing orders in its neighboring counties.

A standing order for a divorce in Texas goes into effect automatically and is intended to keep things as fair and aboveboard as possible. Learn what the standing order in Collin County, Texas, covers, then find an ethical divorce attorney at our firm to help with your case.
