Uncontested Divorce

Uncontested Divorce

One of the most challenging things a couple may face during the course of their marriage is going through a divorce. However, if a couple can come together to make decisions based on the best outcome for each party and their family, an uncontested divorce may be the best approach.

What is an Uncontested Divorce?

A divorce that is uncontested occurs when both parties can come to a mutual agreement on all terms of their divorce without the involvement of courts. While divorce is never easy, couples that can come together and craft agreements that are fair to both parties create a more amicable, cost-effective, and less time-consuming solution. Even when assets and young children are involved, spouses who cooperate and agree on key issues can avoid conflict and a lengthy contested divorce process.

Our lawyers are here to help with a practical, problem-solving approach that allows our clients to end their marriage without the emotional drama and cost of a court fight through a focus on their most important goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I still need a lawyer for an uncontested divorce?

While it’s possible to file on your own, working with an attorney helps ensure everything is done correctly and legally. Even in uncontested divorces, an attorney can draft and review the necessary paperwork, avoid delays, and protect your long-term interests.

How fast can an uncontested divorce be finalized?

In Texas, there is a mandatory 60-day waiting period after filing for divorce. If everything is in order and agreed upon, your divorce could be finalized shortly after that period ends—making it the quickest option for couples ready to move forward.
