Frequently Asked Questions About Divorce in Houston
Q: How long does a divorce take in Houston, Texas?
A: Texas law requires a minimum 60-day waiting period before a divorce can be finalized. You can review the general filing requirements through the Texas Judicial Branch divorce filing guide. Uncontested divorces may conclude shortly after that period, while contested cases involving property or child custody can take several months or longer.
Q: Should I hire a divorce attorney in Houston if my divorce is uncontested?
A: Even in uncontested divorces, it is still important to protect your legal and financial interests. Therefore, having a Houston divorce attorney review your agreements and filings can help prevent costly mistakes. In addition, an attorney can ensure that court documents comply with Texas law and accurately reflect your intentions before the divorce becomes final.
Q: How is property divided in a Texas divorce?
A: In Texas, courts apply community property laws to determine how to divide marital assets and debts. Therefore, judges evaluate the specific facts of each case to reach a division they consider just and right. However, a “just and right” division does not always mean a 50/50 split, as courts may consider factors such as earning capacity, fault in the breakup of the marriage, and the needs of any children involved.
