We Focus On the Divorce Issues That Matter to You

At Setzer Law Firm PLLC, we represent clients in all forms of divorce — whether amicable, contested, or highly complex. Below is a detailed overview of the divorce services we provide. Every situation is unique, and we’re here to help you determine the best path forward based on your goals, your finances, and your family dynamic.

Contested Divorce

When spouses cannot agree on critical matters such as child custody, property division, or spousal support, a contested divorce may be the only option. These cases often require litigation and strategic legal advocacy. We take a proactive approach, preparing every case for trial while exploring settlement opportunities when appropriate. If you’re facing a difficult divorce, you need a skilled attorney who can advocate aggressively while keeping your long-term interests in focus.

Uncontested Divorce

An uncontested divorce is ideal when both parties agree on the major terms of their separation, including division of property and parenting arrangements. While these cases tend to be faster and more cost-effective, legal guidance is still essential. We help you avoid mistakes, ensure your rights are protected, and finalize your divorce efficiently with minimal stress.

Collaborative Divorce

Collaborative divorce is a private, respectful alternative to courtroom battles. Both spouses and their attorneys commit to resolving matters through open communication, with the help of neutral financial and mental health professionals if needed. This process works best for couples who want to maintain control over the outcome while minimizing emotional and financial damage — especially when children are involved.

In divorce mediation, a neutral third-party mediator helps spouses reach agreements on key issues outside of court. At Setzer Law Firm, we guide our clients through mediation with careful preparation and legal insight. This method promotes cooperation, reduces costs, and can help preserve amicable relationships post-divorce — particularly when co-parenting is involved.

High Net Worth Divorce

Divorces involving substantial assets require a high level of legal and financial expertise. From dividing business interests and investment portfolios to analyzing retirement accounts and real estate holdings, we protect your financial future with discretion and precision. We also work with forensic accountants and valuation experts when necessary to ensure that all marital assets are accounted for and divided fairly.

Military Divorce

Military divorces are governed by both state law and federal regulations. Issues such as military pensions, deployment, benefits, and residency requirements add layers of complexity. We have experience helping both service members and military spouses navigate these unique challenges while protecting their parental rights and financial stability.

Spousal Support / Alimony

Texas courts may award spousal maintenance (commonly referred to as alimony) in certain circumstances. Whether you’re seeking financial support or being asked to pay, we’ll assess your situation, explain your options, and advocate for a fair outcome. We also help modify or enforce spousal support orders when circumstances change after divorce.

Texas is a community property state, which means marital property is generally divided equally. However, equal does not always mean fair. We help you identify, value, and divide all marital assets — from homes and vehicles to retirement accounts and business interests — while protecting your separate property and financial future.

Not all assets are subject to division in divorce. We help clients identify, trace, and protect separate property such as inheritances, gifts, and premarital assets to ensure they remain legally yours.

GREAT REVIEWS FOR OUR SERVICES

Real Clients. Real Results.

Heather S.

Honestly helped me at such a low point in my life. Very straight forward and got everything taken care of. I refer John to everyone I know who needs legal help because I know he not only is very capable but is extremely trustworthy. Will continue to use him and his firm till the end.

Vallis K.

Jill and John know exactly how to move through the divorce. I had my consultation and learned exactly what I needed to know to move forward. My wife and I came to terms and then Jill wrote up the final draft and filed the divorce. Every step of the way was done in a professional manner. When it comes to family law, you can’t go wrong with this firm.

Jeff J.

If you are needing an attorney look no further than Jill Setzer. Organized, prepared, keeps you in the loop, makes sure you understand what is happening at any given moment, makes sure things are done correctly. Knowing I had a great attorney gave me piece of mind and took all the stress out. I could not say enough about how she handles everything. Simply outstanding. 10/10. You can not go wrong by having her as your attorney.

Caleb P.
