Seasoned Representation for Spousal Support, Property Division, and more in Helotes

Divorce is never easy, and facing the emotional and financial complexities of the process requires steady guidance from a trusted attorney who puts your best interests at the forefront. In Helotes, Texas, Attorney Brandon Wong has over 15 years of experience in family law and is recognized for his wealth of knowledge in handling even the most complicated divorce cases. Whether you are facing disputes over property division, concerned about spousal support, or navigating a high-asset or senior divorce, he is here to help you through every step of the process.

Complex Property Division

Texas is a community property state, but dividing marital assets can become complicated when there are business interests, retirement accounts, real estate holdings, or commingled assets. We help clients by:

  • Identifying and categorizing community versus separate property
  • Valuing complex assets such as investments, businesses, and intellectual property
  • Negotiating fair and equitable distribution of property and debts
  • Addressing hidden or undisclosed assets through forensic investigations

Bankruptcy and Divorce

Financial struggles often accompany divorce, and in some cases, bankruptcy becomes a necessary consideration. Attorney Wong helps clients understand how bankruptcy affects divorce, including:

  • Timing of filing for bankruptcy in relation to divorce proceedings
  • Division of debts and dischargeable obligations
  • Protecting exempt property and minimizing financial disruption

Spousal Support (Alimony)

Determining whether spousal maintenance is appropriate can be one of the most contested aspects of divorce. Brandon Wong & Associates provides guidance by:

  • Seeking or defending against spousal support requests
  • Calculating appropriate maintenance based on Texas law
  • Modifying or enforcing existing spousal support orders

Contested Divorce

In a contested divorce, spouses disagree on key issues like child custody, property division, or support. Attorney Wong assists clients by:

  • Preparing strong legal arguments and evidence for court
  • Representing clients in mediation, negotiation, and litigation
  • Protecting client interests in high-conflict situations

Uncontested Divorce

For couples who agree on all major issues, an uncontested divorce offers a more cost-effective and efficient resolution. Brandon Wong helps clients:

  • Draft comprehensive settlement agreements
  • File all necessary court documents correctly
  • Finalize the divorce without unnecessary delays

High Net Worth Divorce

Divorces involving significant assets demand careful attention to financial details and tax implications. Attorney Wong works with financial professionals to ensure:

  • Proper valuation of complex assets like stock options, trusts, and offshore accounts
  • Protection of high-value assets and business interests
  • Strategic planning to minimize financial risks

Senior Divorce (Gray Divorce)

Divorce later in life raises unique concerns, including retirement planning, health care, and long-term financial stability. Brandon Wong assists seniors with:

  • Dividing retirement accounts and pensions
  • Addressing Social Security and Medicare considerations
  • Crafting spousal support agreements that provide financial security

Divorce FAQs

Q

How Is Property Divided in a Texas Divorce?

Answer: Texas follows community property laws, meaning most assets acquired during a marriage are divided equitably, but not necessarily equally.

Q

What Happens If My Spouse and I Disagree About the Divorce Terms?

Answer: This is considered a contested divorce. A judge will decide unresolved issues such as property division, child custody, and spousal support after hearing evidence from both sides.

Q

Am I Entitled to Spousal Support in Texas?

Answer: Spousal support is not automatic. When making decisions, the court weighs issues such as the length of the marriage and each spouse's financial earning power, and contributions to the household when determining if support is appropriate.

Q

How Long Does a Divorce Take in Texas?

Answer: Texas law requires a minimum 60-day waiting period from the date the divorce petition is filed. Contested divorces often take several months to resolve.

Q

What Makes a Divorce "High Net Worth"?

Answer: A high net worth divorce typically involves significant financial assets, business interests, or complex investments that require advanced legal and financial analysis.

Q

How Does Divorce Later in Life Affect Retirement Accounts?

Answer: Retirement savings are often divided in divorce. Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDROs) may be necessary to split pensions and 401(k)s without tax penalties.

Q

What If My Spouse Hides Assets During the Divorce?

Answer: The court can impose penalties for hiding assets. Attorney Wong will use discovery tools and forensic accountants to locate undisclosed property.
