Frequently Asked Questions

Which courts handle civil and family law matters in Fort Worth, Texas?

Fort Worth and Tarrant County residents are served by several courts. The Tarrant County Family Law Center at 200 East Weatherford Street houses the district courts handling divorce, custody, child support, and protective order matters. Civil cases are heard in the Tarrant County civil district courts and county courts at law, also centered in downtown Fort Worth. The Tarrant County Probate Court handles estate administration and guardianship matters.

How does Texas handle community property in a Fort Worth divorce?

Texas is a community property state — assets and debts acquired during marriage are presumed community property and divided in a manner the court considers just and right, which typically means equal but can deviate based on fault, economic circumstances, and the parties’ children. Separate property — including inheritances and gifts received during marriage and property owned before marriage — remains with the spouse who owns it, provided it can be clearly traced and was not commingled with community funds.

What is the independent administration process in Texas probate?

Texas offers independent administration, one of the most flexible probate procedures in the country, allowing an executor to administer the estate with minimal court supervision once appointed. The executor files an inventory, appraisement, and list of claims within 90 days, then manages the estate — paying debts, selling assets, and distributing to heirs — without seeking court approval for each step. Tarrant County Probate Court handles the initial appointment and any contested matters that arise during administration.
