Texas’s divorce professionals, verified.
Real attorneys, mediators, CDFAs and therapists — credentials checked against Texas’s own official directories, not paid placement.
See a different stateTexas
Every professional below is currently at the Listed tier: credentials independently verified from an official Texas source, automatically included whether they’ve opted into The Cusp or not — the same way a bar association directory works. Nobody here has paid for placement, and none of them have published pricing or been reviewed yet.
What “verified” means on this page
Not every check is the same check, and most directories hide that. Every listing below says which kind it was, and the date we did it — because a license check is a photograph, not a guarantee. Somebody confirmed in August can be suspended in September.
- State registerChecked against the state’s own licensing, court or bar record.
- Issuing bodyChecked against the organization that grants this credential — authoritative for the credential, but it is their own list.
- Membership listingA membership directory. Joining is voluntary, and this is not a license check.
- Self-reportedTaken from this person’s own website. Nobody independent confirmed it, and we are re-checking these against an official register.
- Source linkedChecked against the source linked, which is not a state register.
Nobody paid to be listed here, and nobody can. Listings are not for sale, and no professional on this page has paid us anything to appear on it or to appear higher on it. If we are ever paid in connection with anyone listed here, it will say so on this page, next to that listing. Most of these were confirmed against a state register. A small number were not, and rather than quietly presenting those as equivalent, they are marked and we are re-checking them.
Family law & divorce attorneys
Verified via the Texas Board of Legal Specialization’s official Family Law board-certification roster.
Divorce mediators
Texas has no single statewide mediator certification — verified via the Texas Mediator Credentialing Association’s public roster, or via TBLS Family Law board certification for attorney-mediators.
Certified Divorce Financial Analysts (CDFAs)
Pulled from the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts’ own public directory of credentialed CDFA professionals practicing in Texas.
Therapists & counselors, divorce/family focus
License verified active against the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council’s official license database.
What these professionals typically cost in Texas
Texas falls in the South region on The Cusp’s cost model — illustrative, member-reported ranges, not an official fee survey or a quote.
| Item | Reported range |
|---|---|
| Attorney, uncontested | $800–$2,800 |
| Attorney, contested | $3,500–$16,000+ |
| Mediator, full case | $80–$250/hr |
See the main directory page for the full regional cost breakdown across all four professional types.
Child & adolescent therapists
For the children in this, not the adults. Every license below was confirmed against Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council — never the federal NPI registry, whose license fields are supplied by providers rather than confirmed by a board. A child or adolescent focus is taken from the professional’s own public description of their practice; the license status is the independently-verified part.
Know someone in Texas who needs this?
Sending one person a straight answer about money is more useful than most advice. Nothing here asks for their real name, and nobody finds out they looked.
Doing your own Texas filing instead?
The Texas Divorce Kit has the exact forms, deadlines, and rejection traps for your county.
Everybody on this page charges for their time. If money is the constraint — and for most people reading this it is — these two come first, and we earn nothing from either.
