Uncontested Divorce

For the good of everyone involved and for the wellbeing of the children, a married couple may decide to dissolve their marriage quickly. Even though there are important decisions to make and issues to resolve, a couple may agree to do it in a reasonable manner and to put their children through as little trauma as possible during the divorce proceedings.

Uncontested Divorce Information

To file for divorce in Texas, you must have been a resident of the state for at least 6 months and a resident in the county where you are filing for at least 90 days. The divorce procedure begins when one party serves the other party with a petition for divorce, and an experienced divorce attorney can assist with the steps of the uncontested divorce toward a complete dissolution of marriage. One advantage of choosing to participate in an uncontested divorce is the financial savings by avoiding expensive and prolonged litigation. A quick divorce can allow the parties to start a new chapter in their lives as opposed to the long and frustrating process associated with a contested divorce.

As with any divorce, professional advice and competent legal counsel are important to keep the case moving smoothly through the court system. The state of Texas has mandated a waiting period of 60 days between when a couple files for divorce and the finalization of that divorce. If issues do arise between the divorcing spouses, a skilled attorney can help them reach a reasonable conclusion and agreement that allows the divorce to move forward.
