The Intersection of Domestic Violence & Divorce Proceedings in Texas
When domestic violence has played a role in your marriage, it profoundly affects the trajectory and potential outcomes of divorce proceedings under Texas law.
Family violence has a significant impact on two key aspects of divorce: the division of community property and child custody decisions. While Texas follows community property laws, a judge may award a disproportionate share of the marital estate to one spouse if there is evidence of cruelty, including acts of family violence. Regarding children, their safety and well-being are the court’s highest priority. A documented history of family violence creates a rebuttable presumption that it is not in the child’s best interest of the parent responsible for the violence to serve as a joint managing conservator or to have unsupervised visitation.
Additionally, a finding of family violence can influence decisions regarding spousal maintenance, further shaping the outcomes of the divorce process.
