Most Asked Texas Divorce Questions

Divorce is one of the most significant events that will happen in a person’s life. Below is a list of questions many of our clients ask us at the beginning of the divorce process. Our goal is to listen to you and your situation and provide you with information to help you make informed decisions. To learn more about the divorce process, please visit our Divorce FAQ[1].

What’s the Difference Between a Contested and Uncontested Divorce?

In an uncontested divorce, both parties already agree to the issues that must be determined in a divorce, such as child custody, division of property, or spousal support.   The parties may not agree on all issues at the beginning of the process, but they commit to attempting to work through the differences through negotiation or some other formal process such as collaborative divorce or mediated divorce. 

Having both parties focus on common goals and interests can speed up the legal process. When this is the case, collaborative divorce—a process through which two parties commit to reaching a resolution outside of court—can be a good option.

In a contested divorce, on the other hand, spouses aren’t able to come to terms on one or more divorce issues and turn to the court for a decision. In a contested divorce, it’s important for both spouses to seek out legal representation from an experienced family law attorney.

Even though it’s quite common for both parties to be on different pages at some point during the divorce process, working with an attorney can diffuse the level of conflict—particularly when that lawyer is a skilled negotiator, understands a client’s goals, and prioritizes their best interests.

Do You Offer Post-Divorce Services in Texas?

• Violations of parenting or child custody agreements
• Adjustments in spousal support due to remarriage or changes in income
• Parenting issues related to one party moving out of state
• Concerns related to changes in children’s expenses
• Terms of the parenting plan becoming unworkable and no longer in the best interest of the child
