Serving Kermit, Winkler County · 50 mi from our Odessa office
Family Law Attorney in Kermit, TX
Kermit is the seat of Winkler County, out on the western edge of the Permian about 50 minutes from our Odessa office. Winkler County shares the 109th Judicial District with Andrews and Crane counties — a traveling docket we already work — so Kermit families hiring us get a firm that knows exactly when and where their case will be heard, without paying big-city rates for it.
Kermit's economy is oilfield through and through — Winkler County sits over some of the most active acreage in the Delaware Basin — and its family law follows: support calculations on boom-and-bust paychecks, possession schedules around long hitches, and divorces where the biggest asset is a truck, a house, and a 401(k) that doubled during the boom. We handle Kermit divorce, custody, support, adoption, and criminal defense, with phone and video case evaluations so you don't drive to Odessa unless you want to.
Winkler County Courts: Where Your Case Is Filed
Family law cases for Kermit residents are filed with the Winkler County District Clerk and heard in the 109th Judicial District Court at the Winkler County Courthouse, 100 E. Winkler Street, Kermit, TX 79745. The 109th District rides between Winkler, Andrews, and Crane counties, so hearing availability depends on the court's rotation — we track that calendar so your settings and deadlines never slip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to come to Odessa to hire you for a Winkler County case?
No. Case Evaluations happen by phone or video, documents are signed electronically, and we appear at the Winkler County Courthouse in Kermit when your case is heard. Most Kermit clients never need to make the drive.
My spouse filed in another county but we live in Kermit — can I move the case?
Possibly. If the children have lived in Winkler County for 6+ months, or neither spouse meets the other county's 90-day residency, a motion to transfer or plea can bring the case home. Venue fights are won early — call before you answer the petition.
