Divorce is rarely just a legal process — it is one of the most personal and emotionally demanding experiences a person can go through. Between dividing property, resolving finances, and, in many cases, making decisions about children, it can feel overwhelming to know where to start.
At Love & Law, Law Firm, we believe clients deserve clarity during one of the most difficult chapters of their lives. Attorney Valerie Willis brings more than 35 years of legal experience to every divorce case, guiding clients in Houston and Stafford, TX through the process with practical advice, careful preparation, and honest communication from the very first conversation.
Divorce does not have to mean losing control of your future. With the right guidance, you can move through this process with confidence and come out the other side ready for what’s next.
Divorce touches nearly every part of a person’s life — financial, emotional, and, when children are involved, family relationships that continue long after the case is over. Working with an experienced divorce attorney means:
Contested and Uncontested Divorce Not every divorce looks the same. Some couples are able to agree on the major terms and move through the process efficiently. Others face disagreements that require negotiation or court involvement. We represent clients in both contested and uncontested divorces, adjusting our approach to fit the realities of each case.
Divorce Involving Child Custody and Support When children are part of the picture, the stakes are higher and the decisions more personal. We help parents work through custody, visitation, and child support matters with a focus on outcomes that support stability for their children going forward.
High-Asset and Complex Divorce Divorces involving significant assets, business interests, retirement accounts, or complex property can require careful, detailed handling. We work to ensure property is identified, valued, and divided appropriately, protecting our clients’ financial standing as they move into the next phase of life.
You do not have to navigate divorce alone. Whether your situation is straightforward or complicated by custody, support, or significant assets, having experienced legal guidance can make the process more manageable and help protect what matters most to you and your family.

Timelines vary depending on whether a divorce is contested or uncontested, and on the complexity of issues like property division or custody. Texas law also requires a minimum 60-day waiting period after filing before a divorce can be finalized. We can give you a clearer estimate once we understand the specifics of your case.
An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on the major terms, such as property division, custody, and support, which generally allows the process to move more efficiently. A contested divorce involves disagreement on one or more issues and may require negotiation or court involvement to resolve.
Not always. Many divorce matters are resolved through negotiation or agreement without a contested court hearing. If your case does require court involvement, we will prepare you for what to expect and represent your interests throughout.
Texas is a community property state, meaning property acquired during the marriage is generally considered jointly owned and is divided in a manner the court considers "just and right," which does not always mean an equal 50/50 split. We help clients understand how this applies to their specific assets, including complex or high-value property.
