Headed for divorce and wondering how you and your spouse will divide your property? Here is a simplified explanation of the three types of property under Texas law:   Community property – All property acquired by you or your spouse during the marriage is presumed to be community property.

One of the worst financial decisions in a divorce is to spend more on attorney’s fees than your divorce is “worth”; similar to paying $5,000.00 to fix an engine on your used car worth $3,000.00. The law of diminishing returns refers to a point at which the level of profits or benefits gained is less than the amount of money or energy invested. While the law of diminishing returns may seem black and white, with …

Dogs and cats are more than just “pets” to many people. Many consider their 4-legged friends to be family members.

When making a major decision, it’s a bad idea to do it under pressure. That goes for making major purchases in your life, or ending relationships with significant others. You face decisions about your past and your future, and in some instances the future of children. Financial aspects of the dissolution may seem the driest of issues to wade through because of the accounting involved, but they are also among the most important because of …

Before you embark on any life changing event, you most likely want to know a few very important details… How much will it cost? How long will it take? Will I be successful and “win”? These three questions are usually the first considered when being faced with the possibility of a divorce or a child custody suit.  How much will this cost? Good question. Some “divorce mills”, for lack of a better term, charge a …

Summer is upon us and you know what that means… your social media news feed is likely filled with pictures of graduations, vacation adventures, and cocktails on the beach. What you probably do not want to see it filled with is angry ex-spouses, mad moms, and relationship drama that doesn’t belong in the public eye. We have all been there. We have all been guilty at one point of over-sharing on social media not considering …

The internet of things: have you heard of it? Maybe you only know the acronym – IoT. According to proponents, this is the promise of personal empowerment through internet-linked technology. Specifically, IoT represents how, by using network-connected smart devices and our smartphones, we can: secure the front door without using a key; generate a grocery list based on what the refrigerator sees on its shelves; or even install a doorbell with a camera that monitors …

That older couples are divorcing at a higher rate than in the past is clear. We’ve written about this on occasion over the past few years, most recently in February. Data collected by Pew Research Center shows divorce rates doubled for couples 50 and over. If you narrow the age-range to those couples 65 and over, divorce rates have tripled. Experts offer a range of rationales for why. One is that divorce doesn’t carry the …

## What Clients Are Saying
I met with Mrs. Lincoln and she consulted with me about my divorce. She was a wealth of information that I did not know or understand and she explained it to me fully. I hired her to represent me in this divorce and she did an outstanding job that was fair to both me and my future ex-wife. She was so good that she helped my ex-wife by answering questions for her after her lawyer would not return calls or emails. My ex-wife is the one who suggested I contact Mrs. Lincoln and made the comment that she wished she had hired her instead. I would highly recommend her if you find yourself in the situation where you need a great divorce lawyer.

Chris was patient and compassionate throughout my process, which was not very peaceful. I felt I was advised, prepared, and equipped with the knowledge and expectations needed to go through such an unfortunate situation. Chris has continued to acknowledge and answer questions even multiple years after the divorce was final.

While going through a divorce can be very hard and emotional, Chris made the whole experience as easy as possible. At no time did she judge me for the reasons behind the divorce and was a pleasure to work with under the circumstances. She was fair, up front, honest and represented me without hesitation throughout the entire process, nor did not try to nickel & dime me what so ever. I was very pleased with the final outcome and would give Chris high recommendations for anyone needing a divorce attorney.

After my wife passed away, my stepdaughter's options were me or her biological father who has never been a part of her life except to cause problems. Christine represented me throughout the adoption process and we successfully terminated his parental rights and won the adoption. As best I can recall, the only things I said to the judge were "yes ma'am" and "thank you". Prior to talking to Christine, I talked with at least 3 other lawyers, all of which told me I didn't stand a chance at adopting my daughter. Not only did we win the case, I knew we were going to win after the first court appearance.

Christine Lincoln was an absolute Godsend for me! she answered on my first call and immediately started to settle my nerves by slowly walking me through my situation and answering all of my questions. She was able, in a short 3 month period of time, to get my situation resolved. She stayed on top of my case all the while reassuring me that she would move it forward toward resolution. Absolutely fantastic!!!

Chris Lincoln is capable and also personable, keeping you informed through the entire process. She will work for you until the desired results are achieved. I would hire her again (without hesitation).

On behalf of The Lincoln Law Firm, PLLC posted in High Asset Divorce on Wednesday, September 10, 2014. There is much at stake in any divorce, but a high asset divorce is a financially-complex situation that can easily veer out-of-control.

Premarital agreements tend to carry the stigma of a marriage doomed to fail, but that is simply not the case. Premarital agreements aren’t just for the rich & famous or for those who don’t have faith in their marriage lasting. Premarital agreements are useful for blended families, second marriages, business owners, first-time marriages or marriages later in life. Another similar option is a postmarital agreement. Marital agreements are not one-size-fits all (so please don’t try …

Parenting can be an enigmatic endeavor. Not long ago, a major national magazine framed the issue clearly. According to general research findings cited in the article, few parents regret having been parents and many single adults regret never having had children. At the same time, however, parenting doesn’t necessarily elicit joy. Many respondents said they don’t like the job. Further, research indicated mothers experience less happiness than fathers, and single parents are even more unhappy. Now, add …

The dissolution of a marriage is rarely simple. Legally, ending an average Texas marriage might be easier when the couple is younger. However, because assets accumulate over the course of a union, the process tends to become more complicated if the couple is older. Valuation of real assets, such as homes, requires skill. There are issues of how to divide marital debts to consider. Also, there can be questions of retirement savings. In the past …

Language is dynamic. Once common terms and phrases get replaced by new ones as times change. What was once alimony is now commonly referred to as spousal support. Where children are concerned, what used to be called custody and visitation is often referred to as parenting plans. Not surprisingly, parenting plans today vary according to your family’s unique circumstances. From a legal perspective, nearly any arrangement is possible if both parents agree to it and if …

For the late, great David Bowie, Golden Years seemed to reflect budding youth. At least that’s the sense of the lyrics he wrote for his hit song by that title. A more traditional interpretation of golden years is that period of retirement – a time to slow down and enjoy life. Happily married couples likely look forward to these years, anticipating doing the things they always talked about, but never did because work, children – …

Divorce is the legal process by which a marriage contract is dissolved. Anyone who has been through the process knows that it can tend to get complicated. The older a divorcing couple happens to be, the more intertwined their assets are. That can require finding solutions for dividing property that require zigging and zagging through assets to achieve an equitable balance. If some individual asset happens to fall through a crack, it can trigger disputes later that …
