Description

This three-hour course is designed to introduce the basics of Texas Family Law covering both the rights and responsibilities of parents regarding their children on the dissolution of the marriage as well as marital property rights. The class will meet for two hours on Monday each week to focus on laws regulating separate and community property, including marital claims, plus the disposition of marital property (primarily upon divorce). Emphasis is on the practical effects of divorce, particularly the economic consequences to the parties and their children.
