Leander families come to us at every stage of the process — quietly thinking about it, already filed, deep in a custody fight, or trying to clean up an order that hasn’t worked for years. We meet you where you are, walk you through the actual options, and quote you a fixed price for the work.

Practice Areas We Cover for Leander Clients
What's Specific About Leander Cases
Leander has expanded from a small Williamson County town into one of the fastest-growing communities in the Austin metro, and its family law profile reflects that mix. Long-time Leander families with deep local roots; newer arrivals drawn by Leander ISD and the more affordable housing market; tech and healthcare professionals commuting to Austin. Cases here often blend community-property complexity from Austin-employer compensation with the practical realities of Williamson County’s particular court culture. We handle both sides of that.
How Our Pricing Works
Hourly billing creates an incentive nobody talks about: the longer your case takes, the more the firm makes. We don’t run that model. Most of our Austin cases run on a flat fee — you get a number for the scope of work, and that number doesn’t change because a call ran long or a motion took an extra draft.
If the scope of the case genuinely expands — say, your spouse files a counter-petition or new issues surface in discovery — we talk about it before any price changes. Predictability is the point.
Why Leander Clients Choose Us
Our founder, Hannah Hembree Bell, has been through her own Texas divorce and built this firm — and its flat-fee model — around what she wished had existed for her at the time. That perspective shapes how we work with every client: practical legal advocacy, real communication, and pricing you can plan around.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Texas divorce take?
Texas requires a minimum 60-day waiting period after filing. Uncontested cases often wrap up shortly after that. Contested cases typically run 6-12 months, sometimes longer if there are complex assets or significant custody disputes.
Is Texas a 50/50 property state?
Texas is a community property state, but “community property” doesn’t automatically mean a 50/50 split. The standard is “just and right” division, which can lean differently based on each spouse’s earning capacity, fault grounds, and other factors.
How is custody decided?
Texas courts apply a “best interest of the child” standard, with a presumption in favor of joint managing conservatorship. The factors include each parent’s history of involvement, ability to provide stability, and willingness to support the child’s relationship with the other parent. Texas law is gender-neutral.
Can I avoid court entirely?
Most divorces can resolve through mediation without a contested trial. Even agreed divorces require a final court order, but you may never need to set foot in a courtroom. See our mediation page.
Do I need to come to your office in Leander?
No. Most consults and case communications happen by phone or video. We meet in person when it helps the case — usually for mediation or hearings.
