Contested Divorce

​

When spouses cannot agree on property division, support, or child-related issues, the case becomes contested. Ryan Putz is a trial-ready attorney who prepares every case as if it will go before a judge — which means you are never caught off guard if negotiations break down.

​

Uncontested Divorce

​

If you and your spouse agree on all major issues, an uncontested divorce can be resolved efficiently and affordably. Ryan Putz drafts the final decree, ensures all required documents are properly executed, and walks you through the court process so nothing is missed.

​

Property Division

​

Texas is a community property state. Property acquired during the marriage is presumed to be jointly owned, but the division must be "just and right" — not automatically 50/50. Ryan Putz fights to ensure the final division reflects your contributions to the marriage and your needs going forward.

​

Common property issues in Walker County divorces include:

​

• Family home and real estate

• Retirement accounts and pensions (requires a QDRO)

• Business interests and self-employment income

• Vehicles, personal property, and debt allocation​

Texas has strict requirements for spousal maintenance (alimony). Ryan Putz advises clients on eligibility, amount, and duration — whether you are seeking support or defending against a claim.
