Meet Attorney Daryl F. Longworth
Former Houston Police Lieutenant. Trusted Houston Divorce Lawyer for Men.
Daryl F. Longworth brings a rare combination of law enforcement experience and legal expertise to the practice of family law. Born and raised in New York, he moved to Texas in 1983 and later graduated from the University of Houston-Clear Lake with a degree in Humanities. After serving as a Lieutenant in the Houston Police Department, Daryl earned a Master of Liberal Arts from Houston Baptist University, and then went on to receive his law degree from the University of Houston Law Center.
While attending law school full-time, Daryl worked as a law clerk at a respected Houston family law firm and was trained in mediation. After passing the Texas Bar, he joined the Fullenweider Wilhite law firm, where he assisted in trial preparation and high-level legal research for complex divorce and custody cases.
Today, Daryl focuses exclusively on representing husbands and fathers in divorce and family law matters across Houston. His background gives him a sharp perspective on strategy, negotiation, and protecting what matters most to his clients—both in and out of the courtroom.
Legal Services for Men in Texas Divorce
- Child Custody for Fathers
We help fathers build strong custody cases by documenting involvement, preparing for court, and pushing back against outdated assumptions that still affect men in family law. Whether you’re seeking joint custody or primary conservatorship, we fight for the time and authority you deserve. - Child Support Guidance
Our firm helps men understand how child support is calculated in Texas and how to avoid overpayments or enforcement issues. We also help with support modifications if your income changes or you become the primary parent. - Prenuptial Agreements
For men entering marriage with significant assets, business interests, or children from previous relationships, a prenup provides clarity and protection. We draft, review, and enforce prenups designed with your long-term interests in mind. - Property Division in Texas
We help men protect their financial future by ensuring fair division of marital property. From family businesses to retirement accounts, we bring transparency to community property law and help prevent unfair settlements. - Uncontested Divorce Representation
Just because it’s uncontested doesn’t mean it’s simple. We guide men through the legal process efficiently, avoiding mistakes that can affect parenting time, support, or financial agreements—even in “easy” divorces. - Spousal Support & Alimony
Men are often surprised to learn they can either pay or receive spousal maintenance. We work to limit or avoid unfair spousal support burdens—or help men seek support when the law allows for it.
Family Law Attorney FAQ
How do I begin my Texas divorce?
File a Petition for Divorce in the District Clerk’s office in your county. It’s smart to speak with a divorce attorney early—especially if kids or property are involved. Schedule a consult.
How long does a divorce take in Texas?
There’s a 60-day waiting period after filing. Uncontested divorces can wrap up soon after, while contested ones may take months or more depending on the issues.
When is my divorce final?
Once the judge signs your Divorce Decree and all property and parenting matters are settled, your divorce is official.
How soon can I remarry?
Typically, 30 days after the divorce is finalized—unless the court grants a waiver.
Do I have to live in Texas to file here?
Yes. One spouse must have lived in Texas for 6 months and in the filing county for at least 90 days.
What’s the difference between annulment and divorce?
An annulment treats the marriage as if it never happened. It may be granted for reasons like fraud, coercion, or being underage. Ask if you qualify.
