San Marcos Divorce and Family Law Attorneys
Family law touches some of the most important aspects of life: marriage, children, property, and financial security. When these issues arise, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about what comes next. At The Law Office of Oprea & Weber, we believe families deserve more than a one-size-fits-all approach. We provide personalized, cooperative solutions designed to help San Marcos families resolve disputes respectfully, protect their interests, and move forward with confidence.
Our San Marcos divorce and family law attorneys bring the depth of experience gained in large law firms and top law schools, but apply it in a boutique setting, where every client receives the time, care, and attention they deserve. We know the law, but more importantly, we understand people.
Family Law in San Marcos
San Marcos is a city defined by diversity. With its mix of long-time residents, university students, young families, and professionals commuting to Austin or San Antonio, family law issues here take many forms. Some couples are just starting out and need guidance with prenuptial agreements; others are in long-term marriages facing complex property division. Still others are unmarried parents seeking custody arrangements that work for their schedules.
Cases from San Marcos are generally heard in Hays County courts, located right here in town. We know the system, the procedures, and how to present cases in a way that makes the process smoother and less stressful.
Divorce in San Marcos
Divorce is one of the most common reasons families turn to us, and while every case is different, many couples share the same concerns:
- How do we divide our property fairly?
- How do we minimize stress on our children?
- How can we afford this process without draining our savings?
At Oprea & Weber, we believe the answer often lies in choosing the right approach.
Cooperative Divorce: A Practical Alternative
One of the hallmarks of our practice is cooperative divorce—a process that offers couples a cost-effective and respectful way to dissolve their marriage. In a cooperative divorce, attorney Kevin Weber meets with both parties to guide them through the process. He represents one spouse, while the other signs a waiver of representation, acknowledging they are not represented by counsel.
This structure allows couples to resolve issues such as property division, custody, and support with the help of a knowledgeable guide, without both sides needing to hire separate attorneys. The benefits are clear: lower costs, less conflict, and a process that emphasizes solutions instead of battles.
For many San Marcos couples, particularly younger families or those with limited resources, cooperative divorce provides a way to move forward quickly, fairly, and with dignity intact.
Other Divorce Options
Not every situation is suited to cooperative divorce, and that’s why we offer other resolution methods as well:
- Collaborative Divorce – A structured, team-based process involving attorneys for each spouse plus neutral financial and mental health professionals.
- Mediated Divorce – A neutral mediator facilitates discussions, helping spouses reach agreements outside of court. Kevin Weber is both an experienced mediator and an attorney who represents clients in mediation.
- Litigated Divorce – Even when cases must go to court, we approach litigation with the goal of finding a practical, fair resolution, not prolonging conflict unnecessarily.
Custody and SAPCR Suits
Child custody—called “conservatorship” in Texas—determines how parents share time and decision-making responsibilities for their children. Whether part of a divorce or a SAPCR suit filed by unmarried parents, custody cases are deeply personal.
San Marcos parents face unique challenges, from balancing university or work schedules to managing transportation between nearby towns. We help parents develop custody arrangements that are realistic, sustainable, and always centered on the best interests of the children.
Child Support
Texas uses guidelines to calculate child support, but no formula can account for every family’s circumstances. We assist parents in understanding how child support is determined, ensuring income is accurately represented, and advocating for adjustments where appropriate. Just as importantly, we help parents resolve support matters cooperatively, so payments are fair and enforceable without ongoing disputes.
Paternity
For unmarried parents, establishing paternity is often the first step toward clarity and stability. Mothers benefit from securing child support, fathers gain legal rights to custody or visitation, and children receive the lifelong benefits of legal recognition.
We guide families through the process of establishing paternity in Hays County, helping them put legal foundations in place for custody and support orders that serve the child’s best interests.
Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements
Family law is not only about solving problems when they arise, it’s also about preventing them. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements allow couples to set clear expectations about finances, protect family businesses, and ensure that property divisions are fair if divorce ever becomes necessary.
In a growing city like San Marcos, where many couples are just starting out, these agreements can provide peace of mind and strengthen the foundation of marriage.
