Frequently Asked Questions

Questions
-
Is My Marital Agreement Enforceable?
Answer
While a marital agreement can be a helpful tool in the case of a divorce, a signed document doesn’t guarantee its enforceability. There are numerous requirements an agreement must meet to be upheld in court. If you have an existing agreement, it is highly recommended that you review its terms with an attorney from our firm.
-
What If My Spouse Is Hiding Assets?
Answer
The accurate reporting of property is a vital component in the distribution of property. However, a spouse may not always be playing by the rules. It is against the law to attempt to conceal or hide assets and the act may invalidate terms of an existing marital agreement.
-
Should I Hire an Attorney?

The terms of a marital agreement can affect you for years if not decades to come. With so much on the line, you can’t afford to leave anything to chance. Experienced legal advocates like those at our firm can help you protect your interests every step of the way. Call us today and discover how we can help.
-
Will a Marital Agreement Expedite a Divorce?
Answer
As valid terms included in an existing agreement typically do not need to be fought over in the courtroom, a well-drafted document can help to reduce setbacks and areas of conflict in a divorce. However, this will not negate the waiting periods or residency requirements associated with the dissolution of marriage.

Denise Norman
Attorney at Law
Denise Norman founded The Law Office of Denise Norman in 2011 with the goal of providing compassionate legal guidance to individuals, families and businesses in her hometown community. Since that time, our law office has fulfilled this goal time and again, helping the good people of the local community resolve their legal matters with professionalism and honesty.
Before completing a double major at Sam Houston State University, Denise graduated from Conroe High School in 1998. She then graduated from St. Mary’s University School of Law in 2007 with her Juris Doctor and was admitted to the State Bar of Texas immediately afterward. Upon passing the bar, Denise and her husband started their family before Denise went into private practice. Now with a family of six, they are frequently involved not only in their children’s school and extracurricular activities. Denise also remains active with the Conroe Noon Lions’ Club, the Greater Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce and the Montgomery County Bar Association.
As an attorney, Denise understands that many individuals only seek legal counsel during the worst periods of their lives. She is also aware that many people do not have a chance to prepare themselves mentally, emotionally and financially prior to being thrust into conflicts within the legal system. Our goal is to bear the burden of the legal system and to provide our clients with the information they need to relieve the stress and anxiety of the often daunting court processes. We are committed to treating you in the manner we would treat our own loved ones.
