The Jimenez Law Firm

The Jimenez Law Firm is a family law practice serving Odessa and the Permian Basin region from its offices in Ector County, a major West Texas oil and gas center at the heart of the Permian Basin's extraordinary energy production. Founded in Odessa, the firm provides Texas community property divorce, conservatorship, child support, and protective order representation to individuals and families in one of the nation's most economically dynamic energy regions. The thejimenezlawfirm.com platform serves clients throughout the Ector County area and the broader Permian Basin, and the 432 area code confirms the firm's West Texas Permian Basin location. Ector County's economy is defined by oil and gas production, and Spivey Law Firm assists clients in addressing the distinctive Permian Basin assets that appear in dissolution proceedings: working interests in oil and gas wells, royalty interests, overriding royalties, mineral rights, and the deferred compensation and equity participation packages that major energy companies offer their Permian Basin workforce. Texas community property law applies a community presumption to income and assets acquired during the marriage, and the just and right division standard of §7.001 governs how Permian Basin energy assets are allocated between spouses. Texas's strict separate property tracing rules allow clients to establish that pre-marital mineral interests or gifts of oil and gas rights remain separate property. The firm's bilingual English-Spanish capability serves Odessa's substantial Hispanic community, which represents a significant portion of both the city's general population and its energy industry workforce. Conservatorship and parenting plan matters under Texas Family Code Chapter 153 are handled with attention to the shift-work and rotational schedules common in the oil field industry, which create distinctive custody logistics for Permian Basin families. Child support under Chapter 154's net resources percentage model addresses the variable and often substantial income that characterizes Permian Basin employment. Odessa's position alongside Midland in the Midland-Odessa metropolitan area — twin cities of the Permian Basin separated by roughly twenty miles of West Texas plains — gives The Jimenez Law Firm clients access to a practitioner deeply familiar with the economic rhythms and human realities of life in one of America's most consequential energy regions. The firm's understanding of how Permian Basin boom-and-bust cycles affect income, employment stability, and marital finances shapes its approach to every family law matter it undertakes.
