A Message for Our Irving Clients

Irving families face a wide range of challenges during divorce—blended households, career-focused schedules, multi-generational homes, and the financial complexity that often comes with living in one of the most diverse and fast-growing cities in the Metroplex. When a marriage ends, you need more than general legal advice. You need a legal team that understands the character of Irving, the expectations of the Dallas County courts, and the financial and cultural dynamics that impact families here.

At The Ashmore Law Firm, we help Irving clients move through divorce with clarity and confidence. Whether your case involves property division, a contested custody matter, business ownership, financial uncertainty, or the restructuring that comes with starting over, our attorneys provide steady guidance at every step.

Expertise in the Dallas County Court System

The Dallas County Courthouse in downtown Dallas is the primary venue for family-law matters involving University Park families. Each courtroom has its own procedures, every judge brings a distinct judicial style, and even routine filings can vary depending on who handles your case. Navigating divorce here isn’t about knowing the law in theory—it’s about understanding how this courthouse functions day to day.

For more than 35 years, The Ashmore Law Firm has worked extensively within the Dallas County family-law system. Our attorneys understand how cases move through the George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building, how different judges approach temporary orders, mediation, and trials, and what documentation carries the most weight in high-asset cases involving businesses, executive compensation, trusts, or complex investment portfolios.

That level of courthouse familiarity gives our clients a real advantage. It allows us to anticipate expectations, prepare strategically for the judge assigned to your case, and help you avoid avoidable delays or procedural surprises.

And because we’re close by, University Park clients have easy access to experienced, attentive legal support whenever they need it.

Irving Divorce FAQs

Find clear, practical answers to the questions Irving families often ask about divorce, custody, and financial matters within the Dallas County court system.

We understand the unique mix of business professionals, dual-income households, blended families, and long-time residents who call this community home. Our goal is to provide clarity, confidence, and steady guidance from beginning to end.

How does property division work when one spouse works for a major Irving corporation with bonuses or stock compensation?

Dallas County courts examine all forms of compensation—including bonuses, commissions, stock options, and RSUs—and determine what portion counts as community property. Proper valuation is crucial in Irving cases involving corporate employment.

Does living in Las Colinas or Valley Ranch affect custody or school decisions?

Potentially. Judges consider school zoning, travel time, and stability when approving parenting schedules. Families living across different Irving neighborhoods may see schedules adjusted to reduce disruption for the children.

What if one spouse has irregular income from contract or technology work?

Irving has many IT, consulting, and contract-based professionals. Courts typically average several years of income to create a fair support calculation when earnings fluctuate month to month.

Can we settle privately instead of going to court?

Yes. Many Irving families choose mediation or a collaborative approach to maintain privacy and reduce conflict. While court approval is still required for final orders, most of the negotiation can happen outside the courtroom.
