San Antonio Divorce Lawyer

When going through a divorce, you will face the division of assets, property and often child custody. A divorce can be an emotionally trying process, and it is crucial that you partner with an experienced and thoughtful advocate who will help educate and guide you through the process.

There are many different ways to approach a divorce in Texas, and Stephanie Wilke consults with her clients to help them understand Texas divorce laws, and create individual plans of action to protect their interests and reach optimal outcomes.

Contested Divorces are Litigated in the Courtroom

When both parties involved in a divorce are unable to agree upon terms, this becomes a contested divorce and extends the timeline for the entire divorce process to be finalized. Stephanie Wilke's top priority is ensuring her client's interests are protected every step of the way, and momentum is not lost.

After filing the petition, a divorce may be granted after 60 days. If agreements are not made quickly, divorce can take much longer - even over a year. It is critical that you have a dependable, strong lawyer by your side to support you through the ongoing process.

Keep Decisions In Your Hands and Out of the Courtroom

Family Lawyer Stephanie Wilke is fully prepared and willing to protect her clients' interests before a judge or jury, but if parties are able to find a reasonable solution, they can avoid litigation through negotiation or mediation.

Mediation is typically a better route to achieving a positive outcome. This process allows each spouse to have a hand in the decision-making and reach mutual agreements without involving a courtroom or judge. Otherwise, once a divorce is set for trial, a judge may reach a decision that neither spouse is entirely satisfied with. In an ideal situation, agreements can be made between both parties informally. Having a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer represent you will ensure that your voice is heard.
