How a Lawyer Can Help With a Complex Divorce

 Posted on March 20, 2025 in Complex Divorce

When you know that a divorce is going to be especially painful or complicated, you may dread the prospect of starting the legal proceedings. You might have real concerns about who your child will stay with, how your property will be divided, or whether your spouse will honor the judge’s order. When the horizon looks stormy, a Texas family law attorney can help you through a complex divorce.

At Powers Kerr & Rashidi, PLLC, we can provide you with representation and legal advice for the most troublesome issues of your divorce. We will do everything we can to make sure your divorce goes smoothly, acting as skilled negotiators on your behalf.

Custody Disputes

If you and your spouse cannot agree on a child custody arrangement outside of court, you may have no choice but to turn to litigation. For instance, you may struggle to find common ground on who gets a majority of parenting time, or who gets to make important decisions on your child’s behalf. In more extreme cases, you might wish to petition for sole custody if you believe that your spouse is an unfit parent. 

In Texas, a court of family law will base all of its decisions on what is in the child’s best interests. At Powers Kerr & Rashidi, PLLC, our divorce attorneys can present a compelling case for your rights as a parent while also keeping your child’s needs in mind. We can assist with the drafting of your parenting plan, proposing a long-term custody solution to the court.

High-Value Asset Division

High-asset divorces can come with a lot of stress, especially when ownership over assets is disputed. If you do not have an existing marital agreement dictating how your divorce should be settled, you may have to negotiate for real estate, ownership of a business, or your retirement accounts.

At Powers Kerr & Rashidi, PLLC, we will work to resolve property disputes as efficiently as possible. Litigated property disputes can be costly, so our attorneys will negotiate outside of court whenever possible. We work to identify hidden assets to make sure nothing goes unaccounted for and advocate for a favorable distribution of marital assets.

Enforcement of Court Orders

When a divorce is in process, a judge may impose certain court orders for alimony, child support, or other pertinent issues. If your former spouse ignores or violates a court order, our attorneys can help you enforce the terms set by the judge. 

When a court order is violated, we will collect evidence to prove that your former spouse disobeyed the judge’s order and make a swift petition to the court. This could mean holding your ex in contempt of court, or garnishing his or her wages for financial support.
