You Don’t Have to Face Family Legal Issues Alone

Family legal matters are deeply personal and life-changing. Whether you are navigating a complex divorce, securing an adoption, or protecting your rights as a parent, the Texas courts prioritize law and evidence over emotion.

At Gauthier Law Firm, we treat your family’s future with the seriousness it deserves. We listen, we understand what’s at stake—your assets, your stability, and your peace of mind—and we fight for your rights through strategic negotiation, mediation, or aggressive courtroom representation.

If the opposing party is pushing for an unfair settlement, hiding assets, or trying to delay the legal process, you don’t have to feel powerless.

We step in to protect your future and ensure your voice matters, through a process defined by transparent communication, no wasted time, and a relentless focus on securing the best possible results for you and your loved ones.

FAQ

Divorce is difficult. We know you have questions about your future, your family, and your rights.  Let’s make things simple — here’s what you really need to know 👇

How long does a family law case take in Texas?

The Dallas minimum is 60 days. If your case is uncontested, it may finalize shortly after that. If highly contested (custody, assets), expect 6 to 18 months. We fight for efficiency to get you to your next chapter fast.

Can I protect my business or inheritance during a divorce?

Yes. Texas is a community property state, but with the right legal strategy, we can work to identify and protect your separate property and ensure a "just and right" division.

How do I establish legal paternity in Dallas?

If you weren't married when your child was born, we can help you file a Petition to Adjudicate Parentage to secure your legal rights for visitation and decision-making.

How is child support calculated in Texas?

Texas law follows specific statutory guidelines for child support. Generally, the parent who doesn't have primary custody (the obligor) pays a percentage of their net resources. For example, it’s usually 20% for one child, 25% for two, and so on. We ensure that the calculation is fair and accounts for all factors, including health insurance and dental costs for the child.

Can I get immediate help with custody or bills while my case is pending?

Yes. In Texas, we can request a hearing for Temporary Orders. These orders provide a "rulebook" while your case is moving through the court system. They can decide who stays in the house, establish a temporary visitation schedule for the children, and determine who pays which bills to ensure your family's financial stability during the process.
