Divorce brings many changes, but for parents, one of the most important concerns is ensuring their children continue to feel safe, supported, and secure. 🤍

In Texas, custody arrangements are guided by the child's best interests. Understanding your rights, responsibilities, and available options can help you approach these decisions with greater clarity and confidence.

Whether you're preparing for divorce, developing a parenting plan, or considering changes to an existing custody order, having the right legal guidance can make a meaningful difference.

Co-parenting isn't always easy, especially when emotions run high and disagreements become difficult to manage. But not every difference of opinion needs to turn into an argument.

Sometimes, the most productive thing parents can do is shift their attention away from past frustrations and focus on the immediate needs of their child.

Whether it's coordinating schedules, making school decisions, or handling unexpected changes, calm communication and practical solutions can help create a more stable environment.

Co-parenting isn't about agreeing on everything. It's about finding ways to put your child's well-being first, even when you disagree.

At Sims & Purzer, we understand the challenges families face when navigating custody and co-parenting arrangements. We're here to help you understand your options and work toward a parenting plan that supports your child's future.

A family home holds more than financial value. It’s where memories were made, routines were built, and important moments were shared. 🏡

When a marriage ends, deciding what happens to that home can be one of the most emotional and financially significant parts of a divorce.

In Texas, the outcome isn't always as simple as whose name appears on the deed or who paid the mortgage. Property classification, financial circumstances, and the court's responsibility to divide community property fairly can all play a role.

Whether you're hoping to stay in the home, sell it, or understand your rights, knowing what factors matter can help you make more informed decisions.

Our latest blog explores the key considerations that may affect what happens to the family home during a Texas divorce.

For many families, the marital home is more than just property—it represents stability, memories, and, often, a child’s routine. It’s no surprise that one of the most common questions during divorce is: Who gets the house? In Texas, the answer depends on several legal and practical factors. Un...

Co-parenting often means managing two households while still working together for the same goal: your child’s well-being.

Even with the best intentions, everyday issues can create tension. A schedule change can disrupt routines, an unanswered message can lead to frustration, unexpected expenses can raise questions, and important parenting choices may require compromise.

Clear expectations and a well-structured parenting plan can help reduce confusion and give both parents a better framework for moving forward.

Dividing a life together involves more than deciding who gets what. Property, accounts, the family home, and financial obligations can all become important parts of a divorce settlement. ⚖️

Mediation gives spouses an opportunity to work through these financial issues together and explore solutions that reflect their individual priorities. Instead of leaving every unresolved decision to a judge, both sides can negotiate terms and determine whether they can reach an agreement.

For example, one spouse may want to remain in the family home while the other places greater value on different assets. Mediation creates room to discuss those priorities alongside responsibility for debts and other financial considerations.

The goal isn’t for one side to “win.” It’s to work toward clear, practical terms that both parties can accept and move forward with.

Spousal maintenance can be one of the biggest financial questions during a Texas divorce—but it isn’t automatically awarded simply because one spouse earns less than the other. ⚖️

Texas has specific requirements for determining whether maintenance may be available, how much may be ordered, and how long payments may continue. Factors such as financial resources, earning ability, the length of the marriage, and individual circumstances can all matter.

Whether you’re concerned about receiving support or potentially paying it, understanding the basics can help you prepare for the financial decisions ahead.
Swipe through for a quick look at Texas spousal maintenance laws and what they could mean for your divorce.

Grandparents can play an important role in a child’s life—providing love, stability, support, and a connection that can span generations.

But when family circumstances change, many grandparents are surprised to learn that maintaining that relationship through the legal system is not always straightforward.

In Texas, grandparents do not automatically have the same custody or visitation rights as parents. Whether a grandparent can ask the court for conservatorship or access depends on specific legal requirements and the circumstances surrounding the child and family.

For grandparents who have stepped into a caregiving role, are concerned about a grandchild’s well-being, or are facing a loss of contact, understanding what Texas law allows is an important first step.

Our latest blog explores when grandparents may be able to pursue custody or visitation and what families should know before taking legal action.
