Austin Client’s Reviews
Understanding Divorce in Texas
Is Texas a No-Fault State?
Yes, Texas allows no-fault divorces, but fault-based filings are also available in cases involving misconduct.
Filing for Divorce in Austin
To file for divorce in Austin and surrounding areas, you must have lived in Texas for six months and in the county for 90 days. If you share children, a SAPCR (Suit Affecting the Parent Child Relationship) will also be filed to address custody and support.
After the Divorce Petition
Once the petition is served, the respondent may file an answer or agree to terms in an uncontested divorce. If both parties agree, a final decree can be submitted for judicial approval. If agreement isn’t reached, we explore mediation, collaborative law, or litigation as needed. If litigation is required, our experienced attorneys will represent your best interests in court.
