Protecting What Matters Most
Protecting What Matters Most
When going through a divorce, the things that matter the most to you are suddenly on the line. After building a business, working to pay off a home, or simply growing a comfortable nest egg, you may wonder how the courts will divide those and other assets.
At Evans Family Law Firm, we take a thoughtful and strategic approach to every case we take on. No one wants to spend months or longer litigating in court, which is why we go to great lengths to keep our clients out of the courtroom.
Whether you have concerns about your family-owned business, retirement accounts, or other assets, we can develop a plan to make sure your assets are protected fairly and in accordance with the law.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to safeguarding wealth during a divorce. With strong legal representation, your attorney from Evans Family Law Firm can explain the most effective tools for making sure your assets are protected and distributed fairly during a divorce.
One effective tool for protecting your estate involves the use of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that establish clear financial boundaries before and after a marriage. While some people see these tools as a sign of a weak marriage, they can actually strengthen a relationship by providing transparency about marital assets.
You can also consider setting up a trust to shield assets and direct ownership of parts of your estate and businesses you own.
How you structure your business can also affect how your assets are divided during a divorce.
The difference between a sole proprietorship and an LLC can have profound implications for your company’s future if your marriage ends. If you bring significant assets into a marriage, you can document those assets as separate property early on to prevent confusion in the event of a divorce.
In Texas, marital property is subject to a “just and right” division, not necessarily a 50/50 split. Both parties are encouraged to decide what that arrangement looks like. One important early step involves dividing the estate into marital and separate property.
During this critical time, it is important to have strong legal representation who understands how to prevent unfair or unlawful divisions of the marital estate while protecting the rights and interests of their client.

Accolades & Distinctions
The assets that matter most to you are not necessarily your spouse’s top priority. At Evans Family Law Firm, we can help identify which parts of your estate matter most to you. If your top priority is retaining your home, we can make that a central part of the negotiation or mediation strategy.
You likely know which assets or properties your spouse wants to hold on to as well. We can work as aggressively or amicably as needed to ensure that you retain the property or assets that matter most to you. In many cases, you can retain ownership of your business by negotiating a structured buyout or offsetting its value with other marital assets.
We help clients build clear, fact-based arguments supported by financial documentation, expert valuations, and strategic settlement proposals. Whether your goal is to preserve control, limit disruption, or avoid selling off what you’ve built, we tailor our approach to protect your interests without escalating unnecessary conflict.
We believe thoughtful legal guidance can set you up for long-term security. Whether you are building a protective plan or navigating the division of assets after a major life change, Evans Family Law Firm is here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Setting our family law firm apart is our vast experience successfully representing clients in high-stakes trials and hearings. We take the time to understand the needs and goals of our clients because the people we represent are more than case numbers to us.

I had a great experience working with Jimmy Evans on my divorce case. He provided excellent counsel and always focused on getting me the best results. He was accommodating and made sure I understood each step of the process. His paralegal, Dina, was also wonderful! She kept communication clear and timely, and I could always count on her for quick updates and answers. The firm as a whole was efficient, professional, and supportive, which made a difficult process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Jimmy Evans and his team.

Evans Family Law has been wonderful to work with. I am grateful that I found them and hired them for my legal needs!
He took the time to talk to me and answer questions. I would recommend Jimmy to anyone seeking help with their legal needs.
Thank you Evans Family Law!
I had a great experience with Evans Family Law Group! Their legal team took time to clearly answer my questions and make sure I knew what was going on with my case. They were super easy to work with and knew exactly how to handle all the various obstacles that popped up over the course of my divorce. I am very happy I worked with them and would absolutely recommend them to anyone else!
The Evans Family Law Group was patient with me, protected my interests, and kept me inline. They responded in a timely fashion and provided updates with each step along the divorce process. Their forethought in decree language saved me.
Evans Family Law Group was the first business that didn’t quote me an outrageous number while also telling me that I may need to pay more later. Jimmy gave me a flat rate that was significantly lower than the multiple other firms I called prior. He was also very quick with communication and even sent a description of every form he sent so I would understand the whole process better. Dina was also incredible as she as she was able to notarize the forms remotely and kept me updated through every step of the process. To my surprise, Jimmy and Dina were able to make this process so smooth and simple and I cannot be more grateful. Thank you both very much!
Great communication and very empathetic!
I had a great experience working with James Evans. He was extremely responsive, easy to work with, and able to meet my tight timeline without sacrificing quality. I appreciated his clear communication and attention to detail throughout the process.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Evans Family Law firm for working with me on my extended divorce process. Giving special attention to Ms. Caitlin McGregor. Always the consummate professional. I truly felt well represented with not only her knowledge of family law but she took time to be sure I felt heard. She always kept me well informed, which helped tremendously with the anxiety that came along with the seemingly endless divorce.
She showed real concern which kept me on a positive note in what has been a very dark time for me and proved to be a great negotiator on my behalf. Not to forget she was also working with an awesome team of paralegals and professionals. Thank you all for your hard work and persistence in this case.

I have had an excellent experience with the staff of Evans Family Law. They have all been very friendly and efficient with my case, and have always been honest and accountable in all situations. I would employ them again for any family law needs I may have. I’m very pleased with their work.
Jimmy has an encyclopedic knowledge of the law, extensive experience with a wide range of cases, and as a result is someone I could completely trust to know what he was doing. He was always willing to explain why certain issues that were under dispute were/were not likely to be upheld by a judge and gave me a very honest sense of what to expect before a judge, with respect to anything I asked him.
He took the time to talk to me and answer questions, and was an ethical advocate who was clearly seeking the best outcome for the children. Rarely do I post reviews, but I chose him based on ones I read by people equally unfamiliar and scared by family law, divorce, and custody as I was; and he was a gem in guiding us through a difficult time. I’m so grateful to have found him, and recommend him as one of the most ethical and professional people I’ve ever worked with.
