Going through a divorce is one of the most emotional and life-altering experiences a person can face. The outcome can affect your children, your home, your finances, and your future. At Setzer Law Firm PLLC, our mission is to give you clarity, control, and confidence as you take the next step forward.

Not all divorce attorneys are the same. When the stakes are high, you need more than just paperwork and procedures — you need a legal partner who understands the emotional and financial complexities of your situation.
At Setzer Law Firm PLLC, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor every case strategy to fit your goals, your values, and your unique family dynamic. Whether your case requires strong negotiation or assertive courtroom representation, we are here to fight for what matters most 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.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
With over 30 years of combined family law experience, attorneys Jill and John Setzer bring both compassion and strength to every case. You’ll work directly with your attorney — not passed off to paralegals or junior staff — and receive the honest, straightforward advice you deserve.
We’re not just your lawyers — we’re your advocates, your advisors, and your strategic partners during this life transition. Here’s how we help:
