Welcome
A Steadier Approach For Complex Family Transitions
Law Office of Tim Whitten, PC supports families across the Austin and San Antonio metros with a practical, structured approach to complex divorce and custody matters. Led by a Board Certified Family Law Specialist, we focus on drafting clear, functional agreements for property division and parenting schedules that minimize conflict and work for your everyday life.
ABOUT US
Strategic Divorce Solutions For High Asset Families
When significant assets or closely held businesses are involved, the details matter. Tim Whitten is Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization, and we bring that technical focus to complex property questions such as community versus separate characterization, tracing separate property with clear and convincing evidence, and the distinction between enterprise goodwill and personal goodwill when business value is part of the estate.
Resolution can look different from case to case. Some matters are a fit for collaborative divorce or mediation, while others require litigation to address impasses or urgent issues. Whichever path applies, we keep the work centered on documentation, timelines, and terms that hold up after final orders are entered.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What Does It Mean To Be Board Certified In Family Law?
Board Certification by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization reflects demonstrated competence, substantial trial and practice experience, and rigorous peer review. It signals that your attorney has met heightened standards in family law beyond basic licensure.
Is Collaborative Divorce Right For High Asset Cases?
It can be. Collaborative divorce may work well for complex finances when both parties are willing to exchange information and use structured negotiation. Neutral financial professionals can help support analysis and option-building while keeping the process meeting-based.
How Is Separate Property Proven In Texas Divorce?
Separate property must be established by clear and convincing evidence. This typically involves tracing assets and documenting how property was acquired, such as before marriage or by gift or inheritance.
Can Business Goodwill Be Divided In Divorce?
Texas distinguishes between enterprise goodwill, which may be divisible, and personal goodwill, which is tied to an individual’s reputation. The analysis depends on the facts and the valuation approach used.
What If My Spouse Does Not Want The Divorce?
It is common for spouses to be at different stages emotionally, including denial or anger. A structured legal approach can help define next steps, protect rights, and keep early decisions focused on practical needs like temporary arrangements and financial stability.
