Latest Testimonials

Mrs. Thiessen was very fast to help in a dire matter concerning child support. I contacted several attorneys, and they never returned my calls, and the few that did wanted to book me for a consultation a week later. Mrs. Thiessen's office was quick to get my problem solved in less than 24 hours. Client service is something you just can't appreciate enough. I highly recommend her team as they are the most responsive I have met. I would gladly recommend her office to any of my family and friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to hire an attorney to get divorced? 

While there is no legal requirement that you have an attorney to get divorced, you should not go at it alone. Amicable resolutions are hard to come by, especially when children or large amounts of assets are involved. You need someone to advocate for you and your children’s best interests and make sure that your futures are not defined by a partner from your past — not to mention, if your partner lawyers up and you don’t, you’ll get taken to the cleaners. 

Do I need to show fault to get divorced in Texas? 

Texas is a no-fault state, which means that it is not required that either party prove fault to get a divorce. However, you must show that there is marital discord to the degree that there can be no reasonable expectation for reconciliation. This doesn’t mean that fault isn’t an important factor in divorce cases, as these factors are taken into account during property division and custody battles. 

What factors does a court consider when determining custody? 

Your attorney will do most of the work in presenting your case for custody of your children, but the facts they have to work with matter. Some considerations that courts often make when determining custody include: 

• The best interests of the child 
• Parental involvement in a child’s life 
• Parental cooperation 
• Stability of the household 
• Continuity for the child 
• Criminal records, records of abuse 
• Child’s wishes, particularly for older children
   

What can I expect during my consultation with Thiessen Law Firm? 

Your consultation with Thiessen Law Firm will be, first and foremost, an opportunity for our attorneys to listen to your story. We want to know about your family and the challenges that may lie ahead so that we can better serve you and your family. After getting as much information about you and your case as we need, we will give you an honest assessment of our expectations, hopeful results for your case, and what the next steps might be to achieve those results.

What kinds of questions should I ask at my consultation? 

The initial consultation should be a time to set your mind at ease. Ask us about our track record in similar cases, how we might handle things you see as the major challenges of your case, or anything else that you need to assure you that you’re making the right decision. 

What documents do I need to bring to my consultation? 

The more you bring to the initial consultation, the better idea our lawyers will have about what to expect from your case. You should bring any of the following: 

• Prenuptial agreements 
• Court orders, marriage or birth certificates, or any pertinent documents pertaining to your marriage or children 
• Any documents related to you and your partner’s shared finances
• Pay stubs 
• Tax returns 
• Messages, videos, or any other evidence against your partner
