Finalizing a divorce is a significant milestone, but there are practical steps that often get overlooked in the weeks and months that follow. A few worth addressing:

▪️ Review your decree carefully and make sure you understand every obligation it contains.
▪️ Update beneficiary designations on life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and financial accounts.
▪️ Confirm possession dates and get them on your calendar before conflicts arise.
▪️ Verify that child support and any spousal support obligations are set up correctly.
▪️ Organize key documents, including the decree itself, and keep them somewhere accessible.

If you discover that property was not addressed in your decree, or if support or possession obligations are not being followed, those are matters that may require legal attention.

Beal Law Firm handles post-divorce property suits, enforcement, and modification matters throughout Texas. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com.

Military family law involves a unique set of issues. Deployment and mobilization can affect possession schedules. Military retirement benefits require specific treatment in a divorce. Disability pay, BAH, and other forms of compensation raise unique support questions. Geographic restrictions may need to account for reassignment.

Beal Law Firm founder Eric Beal is a former Marine Corps Legal Officer, and the firm has worked with military members and their families throughout Texas for decades.

If you are an active duty servicemember, veteran, or military spouse with questions about your family law matter, we are glad to talk. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com/military-family-law.

When most people think about custody, they think about which parent the child lives with and when, but a Texas custody case involves much more than a possession schedule.

Conservatorship rights determine which parent can make decisions about a child's education, medical care, and religious upbringing.

Geographic restrictions determine where a child can live. Medical support, child support, and holiday schedules are all part of the picture as well.

Understanding the full scope of your parental rights matters, whether you are going through an initial custody case or revisiting an existing order.

Our attorneys at Beal Law Firm handle all aspects of Texas custody cases and can help you identify what’s at stake in yours. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com.

May is National Moving Month, and if you are a parent subject to a custody or possession order, a move may be more complicated than you expect.

Many court orders include geographic restrictions that limit where a child can reside. Relocating without addressing those restrictions, even within Texas, can put you in violation of a court order.

A move can also affect jurisdiction, possession schedules, and the enforceability of existing agreements.

Before you commit to a new city, talk to a family law attorney. Beal Law Firm can help you understand what your order allows and what steps need to be taken before you move. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com.

Ma*****na is legal in a growing number of states, but that does not mean it is a non-issue in a Texas custody case.

Texas family courts apply a best interest of the child standard. A parent's conduct, including substance use, can be considered by a court regardless of whether that conduct was legal where it occurred. If use raises questions about a parent's judgment or a child's safety, it may come up in the proceedings.

Parents navigating custody matters in Texas should be aware that their choices can have legal implications here, even when those choices were made elsewhere.

If you have questions about how specific circumstances may affect your case, Beal Law Firm is available for a confidential consultation. Call (800) 811-0380 or visit dfwdivorce.com.

Summer wedding season is here! If you are planning to get married, it’s worth taking the time to consider whether a premarital agreement makes sense for your situation.

A premarital agreement can address property rights, spousal support, debt, and financial expectations before the marriage begins. It is not about planning for the worst. It is about starting the marriage with clarity and transparency on both sides.

Under Texas law, these agreements have specific requirements to be enforceable, so waiting until the last minute is not recommended. If you have questions, the attorneys at Beal Law Firm are glad to help. Visit dfwdivorce.com/premarital-agreements or call (800) 811-0380.

Fall schedules fill up faster than most people expect. If your current possession order no longer fits your child's school schedule, extracurriculars, or changing routine, now is the time to look at making a change before the season starts and conflicts arise.

Modifying a possession order requires showing a material and substantial change in circumstances and that the modification serves the best interest of the child. Starting the process early gives you the best chance of having something in place before fall begins.

If you have questions about whether your situation may support a modification, the Beal Law Firm is here to help. Reach us at dfwdivorce.com or call (800) 811-0380.

As the midpoint of the year approaches, it is a good time to pause and consider whether recent life changes may affect your current family law arrangements.

Many people experience significant transitions without realizing their agreements, court orders, or legal plans may need updating.

Here are common life events that may warrant a legal check-in:

✅ New legal partnerships or marriages - Entering a new legal partnership or marriage can affect custody dynamics, financial obligations, and more.
✅ Changes in income or employment - Significant income increases or decreases, changes in benefits, or self-employment income can affect child or spousal support calculations and disclosure requirements.
✅ Relocation or travel changes - Moving across city, county, or state lines can trigger notice requirements, jurisdictional issues, or court approval depending on existing agreements.
✅ Health issues or caregiving responsibilities - Serious illness, injury, disability, or new caregiving duties for a child or family member can affect availability, financial stability, and decision-making responsibilities.

Taking proactive steps now can help reduce stress, avoid disputes, and ensure your legal documents remain aligned with your goals. That is where we come in. We are here to help ensure you’re legally protected and that your arrangements continue to reflect your current situation.

Give Beal Law Firm a call today, and we can get started.
