Uncontested Divorce Services

An uncontested divorce means both spouses agree on every issue — property and debt division, child custody and support, spousal support, and grounds for divorce. If even one issue is unresolved, the case is technically contested until it is settled.

Texas imposes a mandatory 60-day waiting period from the filing date before a divorce can be finalized. With paperwork prepared promptly and both spouses cooperating, many uncontested divorces are finalized shortly after day 60.

A single attorney can represent only one spouse in a divorce — Texas ethics rules prohibit representing both sides. The other spouse may proceed pro se (without counsel) or hire independent counsel to review the agreement before signing.

Gather identifying information for both spouses and any children, a list of major assets and debts (with approximate values), recent pay stubs and tax returns, and any existing court orders. We will tell you precisely what is needed for your specific situation during the consultation.

Property division becomes final and is generally not modifiable. Provisions involving children — custody, possession, and support — can be modified later upon a material and substantial change in circumstances. Spousal maintenance may also be modifiable under certain conditions.
