How Long Will It Take?
All lawsuits have to comply with procedures set out by the Texas Family Code. Since each court has different docket schedules, it is not possible to give the date your lawsuit will be completed.

More specific time frames can be given once we know the facts of your case, what type of legal action my be required, and what Court will be hearing your case.
