Rebecca Tillery Argues Large Property Appeal Before Supreme Court

Family law cases rarely make their way to the Texas Supreme Court, but Rebecca Tillery, a Dallas-based attorney with KoonsFuller, PC, recently argued the case of Milner v. Milner (Cause No. 10-0776).

This appeal is a contest over property division. The main issues are

1. Whether a mediated settlement conveyed the husband’s partnership in companies or just assigned rights in his interests;

2. Whether contract law requirements – particularly a meeting of the minds – applies to enforcing a mediated settlement agreement, and;

3. Whether the divorce decree altered the settlement agreement by allegedly omitting substantive terms and conditions of the settlement.

Representing the petitioner is Jeff Kobs of Fort Worth. Rebecca Tillery represents the respondent. To view a video of the argument, click here.

Law Firm Hosts Mental Health Event

KoonsFuller attorneys realize the great importance of mental health in family law. These professionals are vital to the process of divorce. In most cases, one spouse is less ready for the divorce than the other and needs more therapeutic help. In the case of collaborative law, the mental health professional is an integral part of the process.

Here KoonsFuller attorney Eric Navarrette is shown with Denton mental health professional Karla Hutcherson. The other Denton-based attorneys -- Charla Bradshaw, Sean Abeyta, Neda Garrett and Victor Rivera -- also discussed the many ways that mental health professionals are important in the divorce process.
