Profile
Stephen Post is a Board Certified family-law attorney whose practice focuses on complex divorce, high-value marital estates, and contested custody matters. He represents clients in sophisticated family-law disputes involving privately held businesses, separate-property tracing and characterization, complex compensation structures, premarital agreements, and other significant financial issues. His experience includes representing both business owners and their spouses in cases requiring the identification, valuation, characterization, and division of complex marital assets.
Stephen has extensive courtroom and arbitration experience and has tried complex property and custody cases. He prepares contested matters from the outset with the expectation that they may ultimately require trial or arbitration and is prepared to fully litigate when necessary to protect his client’s interests. At the same time, Stephen recognizes when a favorable result can be achieved without trial and works strategically to resolve cases through negotiation or mediation when doing so serves his client’s objectives.
Stephen’s practice also includes premarital and postmarital agreements, enforcement proceedings, and appeals. His experience with premarital agreements includes both successfully defending agreements against challenges and successfully challenging agreements on behalf of his clients.
Stephen graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. He earned his law degree from South Texas College of Law Houston, graduating with highest honors in 2011. While in law school, Stephen served as a member of the South Texas Law Review and received CALI Awards for earning the highest grade in Marital Property Law, Oil and Gas Law, and Corporate Law. He also interned with the First Court of Appeals in Houston and the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
Since 2019, Stephen has been recognized in The Best Lawyers in America for his work in Family Law. He has also been recognized by Texas Super Lawyers, including as a Rising Star from 2021 through 2024 and Super Lawyer in 2026.
