Houston Divorce Lawyer | Mitchell Law, PLLC

At Mitchell Law, PLLC, we understand that deciding to end a marriage is rarely easy. It’s a deeply personal process with legal, emotional, and financial consequences that can be difficult to navigate alone. Whether you’re initiating divorce proceedings or responding to them, we’re here to guide you with clarity, care, and steady legal counsel every step of the way.

Located in Houston and led by attorney Leroy Mitchell, our firm approaches every divorce with the respect it deserves. We believe in giving clients a realistic view of their options and working closely with them to develop thoughtful, well-informed strategies that reflect their goals. Our aim is not just to resolve disputes, but to help clients move forward in a way that feels fair and sustainable, especially when children, property, or long-term financial concerns are involved.

Divorce Services at Mitchell Law, PLLC

Every divorce is different. That’s why we offer representation that adapts to your specific situation, including:

Contested and Uncontested Divorce

Some couples are able to agree on all terms of their divorce from the start. Others face disagreements that require negotiation or litigation. We assist with both paths, making sure your interests are represented clearly and effectively, no matter how straightforward or complex your case may be.

Division of Property and Debts

Texas follows community property rules, but dividing assets is not always simple. We help clients identify and characterize property — including homes, retirement accounts, personal investments, and business interests — to ensure a clear understanding of what’s at stake. Our goal is to reach fair outcomes that take into account both present and future needs.

Spousal Maintenance

Financial support may be awarded in certain divorces based on the length of the marriage, financial need, and earning capacity of both parties. We walk you through what the law allows and advocate for arrangements that are fair and appropriate under your circumstances.

Child Custody and Parenting Time

When children are involved, nothing is more important than protecting their well-being. We help parents develop custody and visitation arrangements (known in Texas as conservatorship and possession) that prioritize the best interest of the child while maintaining strong, stable relationships with both parents whenever possible.

Child Support

Statutory formulas guide child support in Texas, but every family’s needs are unique. Whether you’re paying or receiving support, we ensure all relevant financial information is disclosed and that your child receives the resources they need.

Protective Orders and Family Safety

If your divorce involves family violence or threats of harm, we can assist in seeking protective orders and other safety measures. We approach these matters with urgency and discretion, always putting your safety and your children’s safety first.

A Practical, People-Focused Approach

Divorce doesn’t have to be driven by conflict, but it does require competent, steady legal advocacy. At Mitchell Law, PLLC, we believe that how you navigate divorce today will shape your stability tomorrow. That’s why we take the time to understand what matters most to you and create a path that supports your long-term goals.

We’re here to handle the legal work, but we’re also here to listen. We keep communication open, explain your options in plain language, and never push you toward a decision that doesn’t feel right. Whether your case resolves through negotiation, mediation, or trial, you’ll have the support of a legal team that takes your future seriously.
