  • "I walked away with all of the core outcomes I sought to achieve."
    I highly recommend O'Neil Wysocki for those seeking family law representation for difficult, high-conflict child custody and divorce related challenges. If you are seeking 50/50 or greater custody, are a male, and the opposing party is making false allegations, you can win with O'Neil Wysocki. It was a long and grueling process, but I walked away with all of the core outcomes I sought to achieve. The team I worked with was Elizabeth Barr, David Wynne, and Angelia Rightmer, and I will continue to retain them for my family law needs.

  • "Unwavering Dedication!"

    Throughout this trying ordeal, my ex-husband employed below-the-belt schemes, relentless lies, false accusations, and slanderous attacks in an attempt to discredit me and obstruct justice. In the face of such adversity, Mr. Wysocki, Ms. Conklin, and their team displayed unwavering dedication, integrity, and legal prowess.

    My lawyers have transcended their roles as legal representatives to become an integral part of my support system, akin to family. Their attentiveness, unwavering support, and meticulous battle plans exemplify their dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for their clients.

Benefits to Hiring a Divorce Lawyer in Dallas, TX

While having a lawyer isn't legally required to file for divorce, it does come with unique advantages that are worth having. While some couples choose the route of "do-it-yourself" divorce, there is no guarantee that your best interests will be prioritized.

Here are just a few reasons why you need legal representation when filing for divorce:

  • Expertise - if I were to ask you what Texas law says about asset and debt division, what would you reply? It is for reasons like this that our expertise and knowledge is so valuable. We not only interpret the law for you, we help you understand it in a way that encourages collaboration. These discussions will help us tailor a plan that adapts to your unique circumstances.
  • Children - if custody and visitation rights are at stake, divorces can become emotionally exhausting. We take any clouds away from judgement and create agreements that prioritize your children's best interests.
  • Objectivity - due to the emotions of divorce, you will need someone to keep you on the right path. There are times when issues aren't worth your effort in pursuing, which could lead to financial strain. Our divorce attorneys can help the processes move along faster and more efficiently.
  • Fair Playing Field - if your spouse hired an attorney you will want to do the same. Knowledgeable lawyers can directly attack your assets, parental rights, and financial future. Protect yourself today by giving us a call!

Types of Divorce & Family Cases We Handle

Divorce: Texas has very complex divorce laws and requirements for dissolving a marriage. Make sure you have the guidance of a Dallas family law attorney who has your best interests in mind.To get a divorce in Texas, you must meet the residency requirements, undergo a waiting period after filing, and have a reason for your divorce. Texas recognizes no-fault divorce, so you can get a divorce due to “irreconcilable differences” or for other reason, such as adultery or cruel treatment. Our family lawyers can explain every step in detail and make the divorce process as smooth as possible.

Child Custody:Conservatorship,” as it’s called in Texas, is a major part of any divorce involving children. Your children’s emotional, mental, and physical care needs to be protected during and after a divorce. Our family lawyers in Dallas can help you fight to protect your child’s best interests. This could take the form of joint managing conservatorship if you and the other parent are prepared to co-parent your children, or sole managing conservatorship if it is in your children’s best interests to remain in your care alone.

Same-Sex Divorce & Custody: Divorce and custody is even more complex for same-sex couples since same-sex marriage and divorce has far less history. Our family law attorneys in Dallas are experienced advocates for the rights LGBT individuals in same-sex divorces and same-sex custody disputes.

Child Support: In a Texas, both parents are required to financially support the child after a divorce. This means that child support will need to be decided either through an agreement or by a judge. Having a Dallas family law attorney on your side to argue your case is a vital for obtaining a fair support order.

Enforcement: After a divorce, it is often necessary to petition the court to enforce an order of support or custody. Get in touch with our Dallas family lawyers immediately if your ex has stopped paying alimony or child support, or if they are preventing you from seeing your child. Our team can advocate for you as you seek to enforce court-ordered support or access to your child.

Paternity: Another vital part of any Texas divorce or conservatorship case is the establishment of paternity. While mothers automatically have parental rights at the time their child is born, fathers in Texas must establish paternity, either voluntarily or with a paternity test, in order to protect their parental rights. We can help you establish paternity and fight for your rights regarding your children.

Prenuptial & Postnuptial Agreements: Does your marriage involve a high net worth? Whether you are not yet married or have already said your vows, a marital agreement can give you and your partner peace about the future. Prenuptial agreements and postnuptial agreements are a tool to help you protect your hard-earned legacy.
