Divorce Attorney in Austin, Texas

Divorce is one of the most emotionally draining experiences a married couple can face. When a marriage ends, it often brings uncertainty, stress, and worry about the future, especially when children, finances, and long-term stability are involved. 

It's common to feel overwhelmed by the legal steps, timelines, and decisions you need to make, but that's where an experienced family law attorney can offer steady support, clear guidance to help you protect your rights and move forward with confidence.

At Gregory Hitt, I provide dedicated divorce representation to clients in Austin, Texas, and throughout Central Texas, including Travis County, Williamson County, and Hays County. With over 20 years of family law experience, I am committed to staying current with Texas family law so I can provide clients with thoughtful, effective support during their most difficult moments. Reach out to my firm today to get the guidance you need.

How I Can Help Protect Your Interests During Divorce

Divorce affects nearly every part of your life, from your finances to your time with your children. Whether you’re beginning the process or responding to a petition that your spouse filed, having a knowledgeable legal advocate matters. 

Divorce representation includes a wide range of issues, and every client’s case is different. Some matters involve significant property division concerns, while others focus more heavily on parenting schedules or long-term spousal arrangements.

As an experienced family law attorney, I help clients like you understand their rights, make informed decisions, and take the necessary steps to move forward. My role is to provide you with practical, informed guidance that aligns with your goals and priorities. Some of the services I offer as a divorce lawyer include:

• Property division: I can help you evaluate your marital assets, determine separate property claims, address debts, and pursue a fair outcome for your case.

• Child-related issues: I can help craft parenting time schedules, establish child support agreements, and address decision-making rights for your children.

• Spousal maintenance: I can help assess whether spousal maintenance applies, how long it’s likely to last, and what the court will review when making a determination.

• Temporary orders: I can help establish guidelines for your finances, parenting time, and possession of the family home during the divorce process.

Working with a lawyer who’s familiar with these issues helps you pursue a path that protects what matters most. At Gregory Hitt, my goal is to support you through your divorce so you can focus on rebuilding and looking ahead.

Representation for Resolving Divorce Disputes

Different people need different approaches during their divorce. Some clients prefer a collaborative and cooperative process, while others face high-conflict situations that require a more structured legal strategy. My role is to help you choose the approach that fits your circumstances and goals.

I provide experienced representation to help you gather essential details about your priorities, your relationship dynamics, and the practical concerns that may affect your case. With that information, I can help you explore the available paths and determine what makes the most sense. Some common approaches that might be appropriate to resolve issues that arise during your divorce include:

• Negotiated agreements: Working directly with the other party, and often with their attorney, to reach balanced and practical resolutions.

• Mediation: Participating in a guided settlement process to help both parties move toward compromise while maintaining more control over the outcome.

• Litigation: Presenting the case in court when negotiations break down or when certain issues require judicial involvement.

These approaches can serve you in different ways depending on your needs, resources, and goals. Choosing the right path can reduce conflict and help you reach a resolution that supports your long-term well-being. 

Helping You Make Informed Decisions on Key Divorce Matters

Divorce often involves decisions that have long-lasting consequences. Many people worry about how their financial situation will change, what parenting time will look like, or how to protect what they’ve built over the years. I work with my clients to help them identify what’s most important so they can make sound choices during the process.

Every decision—from dividing retirement accounts to establishing parenting time—needs thoughtful consideration. I can help you evaluate your priorities so you can focus on what matters most rather than getting pulled into unnecessary conflict. Some important decisions I may be able to help you address include:

• Long-term financial planning: I can review your assets, debts, retirement accounts, and income sources to help you understand what your post-divorce life may look like.

• Parenting plan development: I can help craft schedules that support your children’s needs, school commitments, and healthy co-parenting practices.

• Protecting separate property: I can help identify which property belongs exclusively to one spouse and develop a strategy to maintain those rights.

These decisions can shape your future in meaningful ways. My firm is ready to guide you through each consideration with clarity and attentiveness so you can move through the process with confidence.

Other Family Law Services I Provide

While divorce representation makes up a significant portion of my practice, many clients seek help with additional family-related concerns—sometimes before divorce, sometimes long after. I offer support across a wide range of family law matters so you can turn to one trusted source when issues arise.

Whether you're preparing for marriage, resolving a disagreement about your children, or modifying a previous order, I can help you understand your choices and take the steps needed to protect your future. Some additional family law services I offer include:

• Child custody matters: I can help you develop parenting schedules, decision-making arrangements, and child support orders that meet your children’s needs.

• Prenuptial agreements: I can help you clarify financial expectations and protect your interests before entering into marriage.

• Post-divorce modifications: I can guide you through modifying child support, custody arrangements, or spousal maintenance due to changed circumstances.

Offering these services allows clients to work with someone who already understands their history and objectives, creating consistency and reducing stress when new issues arise. By addressing these matters carefully and thoughtfully, you can make choices that support both yourself and your family in the long term.
