Divorce Attorney in Katy, Texas
Direct Access to 30+ Years of Texas Family Law Experience
Divorce in Texas carries consequences that outlast the process itself. Under Texas community property law, most assets and debts acquired during the marriage are subject to division, and once the decree is signed, those terms are difficult to undo. Custody arrangements, spousal maintenance, and property splits made under pressure or without counsel can affect your finances and your family for years. At Barker Law Firm PC, founding attorney Georgia Barker has guided Katy-area clients through divorce for more than three decades, from straightforward uncontested matters to high-conflict contested litigation.
When you work with our firm, you work directly with Attorney Barker and her legal team. You won’t be handed off to a paralegal or a junior associate. We approach each divorce by understanding your specific goals first, then building a strategy around them, whether that means negotiating a settlement, pursuing mediation, or preparing for court.
Contact us online or call (713) 597-3911 to speak with our divorce lawyer today. We serve clients in Katy, Sugar Land, and beyond.

Fault-Based Grounds for Divorce in Texas
A fault divorce attributes the breakdown of the marriage to the other spouse’s conduct. Filing on fault grounds requires presenting supporting evidence to the court, but it can carry strategic weight. In some cases, proven fault influences how the court divides marital property under the Texas Family Code, making it a meaningful consideration in high-asset divorces.
Texas recognizes four fault-based grounds for divorce:
- Cruelty
- Adultery
- Conviction of a felony
- Abandonment
Whether fault grounds apply to your situation is something Attorney Barker can assess during your consultation. The grounds for filing depend on your circumstances, your evidence, and your long-term goals.
