Attorneys from The Jimenez Law Firm recently attended the Advanced Family Law Conference, one of the largest continuing legal education (CLE) events in Texas, held in San Antonio in August 2025. The conference brought together leading family law practitioners to discuss emerging trends, new statutes, and best practices that impact families across the state.
Unlike a single-track seminar, the Advanced Family Law Conference provides more than 20 hours of CLE credit through multiple concurrent sessions, allowing attorneys to focus on topics most relevant to their practice. Tracks in recent years have covered areas such as property division, SAPCR, child protection, and ethics. This format ensures that practitioners leave with both a broad understanding of statewide developments and deeper insights into the specific issues affecting their clients.
“For 18 years, I’ve attended the Advanced Family Law Conference, and each year it reminds me why this work matters,” said Christina Jimenez, Managing Partner of The Jimenez Law Firm. “Staying at the forefront of Texas family law isn’t just about keeping up with new statutes and case law—it’s about making sure our clients benefit from the most current strategies, insights, and tools available. Our long-standing commitment to this conference reflects the culture of our firm: excellence, preparation, and advocacy at the highest level.”
The firm emphasizes both professional growth and team culture, ensuring that attorneys not only sharpen their legal skills but also strengthen collaboration as a unified team. “Our firm makes it a priority to travel and learn together, like we did at the Advanced Family Law Seminar in San Antonio,” added attorney Joshua Floyd. “Education and team building go hand in hand — staying sharp in the law matters, but so does strengthening our culture as a team. Experiences like this push us forward both as professionals and as a family.”
National data shows a steady rise in cohabitation, with the share of U.S. adults living with an unmarried partner more than doubling since the 1990s. Recent Census figures estimate that about 8-9% of all households are now cohabiting couples, reflecting a shift in family structures nationwide. Legal experts note that these demographic changes create new challenges and opportunities for attorneys, from property rights to financial planning. By engaging in these statewide conversations, The Jimenez Law Firm ensures its attorneys are equipped to anticipate client needs and provide guidance that reflects the realities facing today’s families.
Building on insights gained at the conference, The Jimenez Law Firm is expanding its family law services to address the needs of today’s modern families. The firm now offers cohabitation agreements by The Jimenez Law Firm, providing legal protections and clarity for couples who choose to live together without marriage. This new service reflects the firm’s ongoing commitment to adapting its practice to evolving family dynamics in Texas.
Cohabitation agreements allow couples to define rights and responsibilities regarding property, finances, and other important household matters, helping to prevent disputes and ensure mutual understanding. With more couples choosing cohabitation over marriage, the need for attorneys specializing in cohabitation agreements has grown. By adding this service, the attorneys at The Jimenez Law Firm aim to provide practical solutions that align with the realities faced by many Texans today. A video detailing the importance of cohabitation agreements is also available on the firm’s website. https://www.thejimenezlawfirm.com/family-law/cohabitation-agreements/
