— Lawyer and certified mediator Golda R. Jacob
Golda R. Jacob & Associates has nearly two decades of legal experience helping clients in:
- Original petitions for divorce — We help you file or respond to the legal document that starts the process.
- Divorce litigation — We are prepared to protect your rights in court if your divorce matters cannot be settled through mediation or negotiation.
- Military divorce — The rules of divorce are different for members of the military. Experienced legal help is vital.
- Property division — Texas is a community property state. The courts determine which property is classified as marital property versus separate property. We work with accountants, realtors and financial experts to propose an equitable division of property.
- Maintenance — Spousal support or alimony provides temporary or permanent support for a spouse in recognition of financial realities. These issues are very important in high net worth divorces.
- Post divorce communication — I care about my clients and their children. Good communication after a divorce can help children weather the divorce with less stress.
