What Are the Requirements for an Uncontested Divorce in Texas?

Before you can file for an uncontested divorce in Texas, you must meet the state's residency requirements. At least one spouse must have lived in Texas for at least six months and in the county where you plan to file for at least 90 days.

Additionally, you and your spouse must agree on all the terms of the divorce. This includes property division, child custody, child support, and spousal support. If you and your spouse cannot agree on any of these issues, you will need to file for a contested divorce.

How to File for an Uncontested Divorce in Texas

The first step in filing for an uncontested divorce in Texas is to complete the necessary paperwork. You will need to file a petition for divorce with the court. This document will outline the terms of the divorce, including how you and your spouse plan to divide your property and debts, and whether you will be seeking spousal support.

You will also need to complete a waiver of service, which is a document that states that your spouse does not need to be served with the divorce papers. If your spouse is willing to sign the waiver of service, you will not need to pay for a process server to deliver the papers to them.

Once you have completed the necessary paperwork, you will need to file it with the court. You will also need to pay the filing fee, which varies by county. If you cannot afford the filing fee, you can request a fee waiver.

After you have filed the paperwork, you will need to wait at least 60 days before the court can finalize your divorce. If you and your spouse have children, you will need to wait at least 90 days.

During this time, you and your spouse will need to negotiate the terms of your divorce. If you are unable to reach an agreement, you will need to file for a contested divorce. However, if you are able to agree on all the terms of the divorce, you can submit a final divorce decree to the court.

The court will review the final divorce decree and, if everything is in order, will sign it. Once the judge has signed the decree, your divorce will be final.

What Are the Benefits of an Uncontested Divorce?

There are several benefits to filing for an uncontested divorce in Texas, including:

• Cost: Uncontested divorces are typically much less expensive than contested divorces. You and your spouse will not need to spend money on attorneys' fees or court costs to resolve your issues in court.
• Time: Uncontested divorces are typically resolved much more quickly than contested divorces. You will not need to wait for a court date, and you will not need to spend time in court.
• Control: In an uncontested divorce, you and your spouse have control over the outcome. You can negotiate the terms of your divorce and come to an agreement that works for both of you. In a contested divorce, the judge will make the final decisions.
• Privacy: Uncontested divorces are typically resolved outside of the courtroom. This means that your divorce will not be a matter of public record, and your personal information will remain private.
